Neck pain, Back pain & Breast Support: The Posture Connection with Siobhan O'Donavan

This week on Spill The Tea by Womenkind Collective, we’re joined by the brilliant  Siobhan O’Donovan, physiotherapist, biomechanics expert, and founder of Posture Fitting, a science-led approach helping women understand the real impact of breast weight, posture, and movement on everyday health.

We first met Siobhan, at the Hands on Hub & STA Conference, where she captivated the room even before taking the stage. Through a simple yet powerful exercise, she demonstrated just how much lighter and freer the body can feel when breast weight is properly supported and lifted.

With a background in sports rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, and women’s health, Siobhan has spent years studying how posture, alignment, and breast support affect neck and back pain, breathing, pelvic floor health, movement, and confidence.

In this episode, we ask:

• What makes Posture Fitting different from a regular bra fitting?

• What are the most common mistakes women make with bras and breast support?

• How does breast weight affect posture, movement, breathing, and pain?

• What simple posture, movement, and bra tips can women try today?

• What’s one thing Siobhan, wishes every woman knew about her body and breast support?

Plus, Jinty & Lou chat about their week (including WW2 bombs!) and explore the question: Should a bride be given away by a parent?
