Exercise may lift more than spirits: study tests workout for breast sag and back pain
NCT ID NCT06977919
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week structured exercise program can strengthen chest muscles, improve breast firmness and lift, and reduce low back pain in 120 women who haven't exercised in the past 6 months. Participants will either do targeted resistance training or general walking and light aerobics. The goal is to see if a non-surgical approach can help with common concerns like breast sagging and back pain.
