In honor of Women's Health Month, local physician and author Dr. Maria Coffman will teach and entertain us with a never before seen look at underthings! Learn what happens to our insides with a band strapped around us. Get tips for choosing the best bra and reducing restrictive clothing. Armed with more knowledge, we can make better choices for our individual bodies and situations. Adults & teens.

In honor of Women's Health Month, join us to find out what happens to your insides with a bra strapped to your outside! Dr. Maria Coffman's book "Booby Traps: A Book of Bras, Breasts and Bands" weaves together a never before seen look at underthings. Follow an osteopathic physician as she guides us on an adventure, from the history of modern bra-wearing to how to choose the best bra for the job. Surprise! Nature is often best. Learn tips for choosing the best bra for the occasion and healthy ideas for alternative, bra-free first layers. Discover how to reduce restrictive clothing and still feel polished in public.

Dr. Coffman shares her decades of experience observing everyday women and everyday bras. Through a skilled and intuitive lens, she describes the effects of restrictive bands on a woman’s bones, heart, lungs, breathing, mental state and even pressure on the pelvic floor.

Along the way, explore interactive instructions to help you determine what fits and why by using healthy parameters of breathing, heart function, physical mobility and energy flow. Finish with self-care exercises to improve your whole health, including your breasts. Dr. Coffman will illuminate the undercover world of clothing to help you choose your best health.

Adults and teens.


About Dr. Maria Coffman: A 1995 graduate of Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (now A.T. Still University), Dr. Coffman has experienced an osteopathic medical career that resembles a jungle hike through the mountains emerging on clear sparkling shores.

Her early career focused on emergency medicine where she further developed her resourceful nature and acute care skills. In 2001, she founded Hands On Health Osteopathic Medicine and began to treat the chronic effects of injury and illness while continuing to transform the practice to include prevention of both acute and chronic health concerns. Careful to incorporate intuition into every step, as a physician author, Dr. Coffman accepted the notion to write and illustrate for others what she has been treating and teaching for several decades.
