While there are some similarities between posture bras and sports bras—mainly the compression material used in both designs—a sports bra is intended to minimize breast bounce during exercise, not correct your posture.
Do bras make your posture better?
yes! Amazingly, more than 80% of women wear the wrong sized bra, and wearing the wrong bra size can affect your posture! Breasts that aren’t well supported (especially if you are well-endowed…) can have a significant impact on your shoulders, neck, upper spine and even your lower back.
What is a posture bra?
A posture bra, sometimes called a posture brace, is a bra intended to keep the spine in proper alignment, promoting good posture and possibly reducing pain.
Do doctors recommend posture correctors?
Posture correctors are often recommended for patients with mild cases of misalignment, says Dr. Okubadejo; in other words, if you’re having general neck pain, back pain, or headaches, or your posture is noticeably slouched, a posture corrector can help you retrain your muscles into a healthier alignment.
