All fittings at CARES are performed by or supervised by Debra Taylor, PT/ CLT, a licensed Physical Therapist for almost 30 years. Debra became a fitter to make sure the bras did not damage the lymphatic system while performing their designated job. She understands the way balance affects all movements of the body and to our knowledge, she is the only PT in the state that is a trained mastectomy fitter.
Mastectomy bras are specially designed to properly hold and support a breast form (prosthesis). Weighted forms balance the weight on either side of your spine allowing for you to stand more upright and decrease the chance of hurting your back. They can prevent your shoulders from drooping, poor posture, backaches and spinal curvature. Breast forms balance the body, giving it a more natural look, and hold your bra in place.
We at CARES work to provide the best fit for your body type and physical needs. All fittings are in a private room, and by appointment only, so that we can spend the time we need with you to ensure that you are correctly and happily fit.
Mastectomy Products and our Specialty Bras are designed to make you look and feel more comfortable and confident and give you the support you need - no matter your size. Your clothes will fit and feel better.
No one will know, but you!
