PostureFitting

04/04/2026

Ever wondered why we put our hands on our heads when we are trying to get our breath back? Whether that is as an athlete (as per Ben Spencer of Bath RFC after he had sprinted the length of the pitch to score today - thanks for the inspo for the post Ben!) or someone having an asthma flare, it is because this position lifts our chest & mid/upper back up into a position that facilitates better breathing. And that means you'll recover quicker from whatever situation prompted you to do it.

It may seem blindingly obvious, but possibly also obvious that we overlook it, but better breathing = better overall health and wellbeing. There is no downside to breathing better. It's a fairly simple win.

You don't need to be either an asthmatic or an athlete to help yourself to breathe better, & no, I'm not suggesting you walk around with your hands on your head all day. But do stop & think for a minute about how you can adopt that lifted position more often in your day.

Here's one way: lift your chest.
Just a small bit, not so much that you hyperextend your low back, just enough to overcome gravity pushing your ribcage down. Because that is what gravity will do unless we engage our brain & our body to overcome it.
So, T**s Up Gals!👀

Contact us to find out how to support yourself internally, by using your body, with other such titbits🤪, as well as externally with optimal bra-fitting.
The internal bit is what makes PostureFitting different from a retail bra-fitting. We teach you how to DIY for bra-fitting, but we go beyond the bra to also include your brain & your body.

🥇April's 1st on the 1st 🥇 (definitely not an April Fool's) - the reaction I got the first time I spoke about the impact of breast weight.
And then again, & again & again, whether via talks or presentations as The B👀by Physio, or in a 1:1 PostureFitting consultation, or simply chatting with someone who asks "So what do you do?"🤔 They are usually surprised to hear "Help girls and women to independently manage their breast weight, using both internal support from their bodies & external support from an optimally fitting bra".

But that is nothing compared to how shocked they are by the facts on the impact of breast weight on girls & women. Posture is the vehicle by which these effects are felt, on:

😩 pain - in the breast/neck/shoulder/back, even lower limb
🫁 pulmonary (breathing) function
💃🏿 participation, not only in sport or activity, but in life itself
🏆 performance - some marginal gains are hidden in plain sight!
😦 pelvic health issues like leaking, prolapse
🪞 self-perception/self-confidence/self-image/self-esteem

Many of these issues occur at the same time, and can affect each other - you don't feel well, you probably won't move well either, right?

Our mission with PostureFitting is to educate, empower & enlighten girls & women about breast weight impact.
For them to know that breast load affects everyone, not just those with larger breasts.
For them to be able to make informed choices, & apply that skill for life, as their breasts change over their lifecycle.
For them to learn how to feel, move, look better (because how they look affects how they feel... & vice versa).

We expect to see these "Say whaaaat now?!?" reactions, & we love to then replace those dropped jaws with the hope of a sustainable, and in most cases non-surgical, solution. Thank you to my amazing PostureFitting Partners below for helping me to uplift & reach more girls & women, worldwide.

So here's a 1st - a 2nd on the 2nd this month, because the 1st was a Sunday & I am trying to install work boundaries in myself!! (Don't come back at the with "pre-scheduled social media posts", if you know me you know I like to live by the seat of my pants...🤦🏼‍♀️)

And so, here is the 1st ever "2nd on the 2nd" - no medals because it's not about being in 2nd place. The video shows the trying-on "evidence" from the 2nd PostureFitting pop-up clinic of 2026, in Midleton, Co Cork, which followed Maynooth, Co Kildare in January. Doing our best to get around the country to those without a local PostureFitting Partner, but please, if you are understandably tired of waiting, book yourself a few days away to see any of my wonderful PosureFitting Partners (ok, I admit New Zealand might be pushing it, but hey, if you needed an excuse...🤪).

DID YOU KNOW... that your breasts are unlikely to be the same size? This is why we say they are sisters, not twins!

DO YOU KNOW .... how to (easily) adapt your bra to accommodate for this "sibling" difference? 🤔👙Did you know this was even a thing?!?

Grab your Galentine, Palentine, Valentine (or any relation or friend) and book a Breasties dual PostureFitting consult for you and your breast buddy. You will both leave educated, enlightened and empowered in how to manage your breast weight, from the inside via your posture/alignment & externally by learning DIY bra-fitting. This integration of both areas is unique to us at PostureFitting, and provides you with more sustainable breast support than one or the other.

We are ready to uplift you and your breast buddy at the following locations:

🥇 February's 1st on the 1st 🥇
I started these 1st on the 1st posts a year ago, to pause, acknowledge & applaud achievements that can get lost in the constant rush of modern life. From now, I also want to include the successes of my fantastic PostureFitting team, & the wonderful women & girls who have allowed us to empower & enlighten them.

It is only fitting (ba-boom!) to therefore start with this amazing woman. I will be eternally grateful to her for her generosity in allowing the use of her very impactful before & after PostureFitting images.

There are audible gasps from audiences I speak to when I show them these images. And I bet you just did the same thing!

If you are female & have already been thinking of people to whom you might recommend one of our PostureFitting Partners in the UK, Ireland & New Zealand listed below, please STOP! Firstly, treat yourself as you do those you love, by booking a PostureFitting consult for yourself.

🤗 Extra hugs available today for National Hugging Day, as if I needed a reason! 🤗

💃🏼 At PostureFitting, part of our conversations with women & girls includes the concepts of size & fit when it comes to breast support.

👙Bra sizing, let's be honest here, is a minefield of inconsistency. The discomfort that makes you want to take your bra off asap. This is because manufacturers use differing fabrics, elastics, & even the bra style itself impact how the bra fits.

💃🏿Once you learn how your bra should fit, you realise that size doesn't matter. Fit matters.

👀 The best size is the one that fits. That's worth repeating.
The best size is the one that fits 👊🏼....which goes for hugs as well, I guess!!

🤗 Sending hugs of gratitude today to, & for, my amazing PosureFitting Partners, for all they do to support women & girls:

Full beams on a sleigh
Is what makes Santa's day,
Dipped headlights for gals frustrate
So high beams all the way!
🤶👙👀💃🏾
Have an uplifting 2026 ....

Sending these wishes for 2026 on the actual 12th day of Christmas, which heralds the end of a time that can add an additional burden (the extra effort created by the festive season) to women's lives. In Ireland, that extra workload was traditionally "acknowledged" via the celebration on Jan 6th of "Women's Little Christmas", where women were given a rare day off household duties. Moving beyond the 🤔&😐 factors of that tradition (which could be debated long & hard!), let's focus instead on the principle of acknowledging & decreasing daily burdens on women & girls everyday....

PostureFitting is my solution for reducing the significant burden of breast weight. 2025 was an incredible year in which the huge number of enquiries delights us in knowing there are so any women & girls that we can help, but it's undoubtedly frustrating if you are still waiting to hear from us about an appointment. Thank you for your patience, & I can assure you we are doing our best to cater to you all, via myself & my PostureFitting Partners in Limerick, Wexford & Dublin, & via pop-up clinics around the country. Plus looking out for new Partners!

Please do keep nudging, ideally on WhatsApp 087 7678873, where she who shouts the most often is most likely to be heard the soonest!

Here's to creating lots of high beams🚘 in 2026,
from Siobhán (The B👀by Physio) & the PostureFitting team

🥇My 1st on the 1st🥇posts were first inspired by me doing a round-up of events & realising how much had happened that I had not shared.

This month's, & the 1st for 2026, 1st on the 1st is being brought to you on the 2nd, being the time of year it is! Taking my own advice for self-care - it is high time for us to treat oourselves as we would others. Because we deserve it!

I spotted this carpet of daffodils on Jan 1st, making them the 1st daffodils of the year for me, & certainly my 1st time seeing any on the 1st day of the 1st month of the year! Symbolizing hope, renewal & new beginnings - the feeling of a fresh start & brighter days ahead - seems apt for the dawning of a new year.

The Irish word for daffodil is "lús an chromchinn", which literally means "plant of the bowed head," referring to its drooping flower 🥀. Now as I see b👀bs everywhere, I just can't help but associate that bowed orientation with the dipped headlights position that we see in women & girls before they have a PostureFitting 🥴😉.

If you want to just enjoy looking at but NOT channeling the daffodil's drooping posture, talk to us about a PostureFitting. You are most definitely worth it!

It's been a minute since I was chatting about b👀bs - well, it's kinda in the B👀by Physio job description now, isn't it?!

Making up for that on Tuesday Dec 16th, so tune into Classic Hits at Work with Trina Mara https://loom.ly/G4bWWus from 10 - 2, or catch us on Trina's fab podcast. A bit surreal being a guest on the radio station I listen to all the time, being a huge 80s fan!

Trina presents Classic Hits At Work with Trina Mara weekdays from 10am-2pm and Something for the Weekend every Saturday morning.
