In session 5 Emma and Gráinne discuss boobs, bras and breast health with Dr Nicola Brown. They lift the lid on common mistakes women make when it comes to bra fitting and the various types of support available. They discuss the implications of poor breast support and how better breast health education during the teenage years can improve girls' body confidence, health and participation in physical activity.  Nicola offers advice to women of all ages and backgrounds and this session is one for ALL women and anyone serving women….male or female.
