FAQs
Which heart&core bra should I wear after spinal fusion surgery?
Which heart&core bra should I wear after spinal fusion surgery?
We offer three options based on your recovery stage and surgical needs:
- Larissa Bra: Best if your surgery required surgical drains. Features specialized drain management tabs to keep drains secure and comfortable.

All three bras feature front closures that don't require bending or twisting your spine.
Why is a front closure bra important after spinal fusion surgery?
Why is a front closure bra important after spinal fusion surgery?
Spinal fusion surgery requires strict movement restrictions to allow the bone graft to heal and the vertebrae to fuse properly. Your surgeon will likely restrict bending, twisting, and lifting for several weeks or months. Traditional bras with back closures require exactly the spinal movements you need to avoid—twisting your torso, reaching behind your back, and bending forward. Front closure bras allow you to dress independently while maintaining your movement restrictions, which is critical for successful fusion and preventing complications.
What is spinal fusion surgery, and why does it require special support?
What is spinal fusion surgery, and why does it require special support?
Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that permanently connects two or more vertebrae in your spine to eliminate painful motion between them. The surgery involves placing bone graft material between the vertebrae, which gradually grows together over 3-6 months to create a solid fusion. During this healing period, maintaining proper posture and minimizing unnecessary movement is essential. A supportive bra helps by providing gentle compression that supports postural alignment, reducing strain on your healing spine, minimizing muscle spasms through even pressure distribution, and keeping your upper body stable during daily activities.
How does a bra help with posture after spinal fusion?
How does a bra help with posture after spinal fusion?
After spinal fusion surgery, maintaining proper posture is crucial for successful healing and reducing pain. A well-designed post-surgical bra provides gentle support across your chest and upper back that encourages you to maintain an upright, aligned posture rather than slouching forward. The wide straps distribute weight evenly across your shoulders, the racerback design helps pull your shoulders back into proper alignment, and the compression around your torso provides proprioceptive feedback that helps you stay aware of your posture throughout the day.
