Background and Aims: Macromastia is a condition according to which the breasts grow larger than normal. The most important complications of large breasts include cervical, thoracic, and lumbar curves as well as pain in these areas. The present study was conducted to examine the effect of selected corrective exercises on the pain and neck status of females with large breasts.
Materials and Methods: In the current study, 32 females, aged 23-28, who had large breasts (cup size 13) participated on a voluntary basis. Participants were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. In the pre- and post-test sessions, the neck pain was evaluated using VAS pain scale and forward head posture was assessed via digital photos of half a neck. Then, experimental group performed training program for eight weeks. Finally, Shapiro wilk test and paired t-test at 95% significance level were run to analyze the data.
Results: The results showed that neck pain decreased, and forward head posture improved significantly.
Conclusion: According to the results, we found that eight weeks of corrective training, by reducing elongated muscles, strengthening weakness muscles, increasing muscle blood flow, relaxing antagonist muscles and subsequently increasing neck range of motion, has led to reduction in the incidence of complications from enlarged breasts. Considering the high impact of the training group, it is suggested that corrective training program be used to improve the essential factors for the females with large breasts.
