Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Not only is October National Physical Therapy Month, but also Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Really, just a great month to take care of your health!
I took advantage of the reminder and this week, went to my local Nordstrom store to visit my favorite “Boob Whisperer” Dolores. I met Dolores about 15 years ago when I went in for my very first bra fitting and was impressed with her knowledge, level of service and easy-to-be topless with nature! I was shocked to learn what size bra I should be wearing, and once I was wearing a properly fitting bra, I felt immediate comfort and support for good posture.
Since then, I have sent countless clients with neck, upper back or shoulder pain to see Dolores and her compatriots in the lingerie section. A good fitting bra really is a great foundation for healthier posture, and compliments your efforts towards better posture. Did you know that your bra cup size may change several times over the course of our lifetimes? And I am not talking about during pregnancy or nursing. The 5 year old bra you love may not be serving you anymore!
So take good care of yourself this month. Schedule your mammogram and get a proper bra fitting - your body will thank you for it!
