Tomorrow I finally get to find out from a chiropractor exactly what binding has done to my back. I deal with mild to moderate back pain on a pretty much daily basis, which I’m fairly certain is largely due to binding. My girlfriend is a LMT and she’s told me that my scapulas are pushed out of place, my ribs are slightly deformed, and my back is constantly tense and full of knots. I never wore ace bandages or any binder that wasn’t stretchy, and almost never more than the recommended time. I haven’t worn any compression since the surgical binder I got after my mastectomy almost 2 years ago. But 5 years of binding adds up, even so.
