A hit to the breasts hurt! as many women will tell you. Any hard impact the body will hurt but some areas more than others…
The breasts are composed of mainly fatty tissue, mammary glands and muscle. The muscle is deep so it doesn’t provide much help in supporting the breasts. That supports needs to come from a properly fitted sports bra.
Main Injuries Affecting Breasts are:
- Repetitive trauma caused by constant movement and bouncing while exercising .
- A direct blow to the breast causing contusion(bruise) + pain and tenderness.
