Concept

An innovative bra with special Healing Pads that can be heated and/or cooled to relieve breast pan.

Story

“The Lightbulb Moment”

A couple years ago, my mom arrived home from her annual mammogram appointment and when I saw her quite uncomfortable and sore, I immediately assumed the worst.

Luckily, my mom’s screening results were negative and I was very relieved, however, I was confused why she was in such discomfort. She then described in detail the extremely uncomfortable mammogram ’pancake’ process. Ouch..

I asked if the hospital offered a therapeutic healing or ice pack to relieve her breast pain – she said no. I was confused because from my perspective, I was a college baseball player studying biomedical engineering, and I used several heating and cooling therapeutic pads for my elbows, knees, shoulders, and back. Therefore, I assumed there was an equivalent medical therapeutic device for breasts.

Unfortunately, no such medical device existed. Until now…

That is why I founded The Healing Bra – to relieve breast pain and discomfort. 

Introduction

This version of The Healing Bra is the ‘Everyday’ version, so that it can be worn by anyone experiencing breast pain or discomfort and for general therapeutic relief. As part of the company’s product roadmap, we will develop a Surgical-style, Nursing, Sports and other versions of The Healing Bra for more targeted healing and care. The Indiegogo is to raise funds in order to scale the business so that we can make the best product for breast pain and discomfort relief. See the following videos describing The Healing Bra!
