I posted this as a response to someone looking for advice regarding their newly out non binary teen.
I thought it might be helpful info for anyone else who binds or has a kid or loved one who binds.

If yall have any questions or anything to add, please add comments!

“Side note from a massage therapist/personal trainer who works a lot with trans folx in general as well as pre and post top surgeries.
(My eldest kiddo is non binary, and we both bind actually but this advice is more from my professional experience)

Along with finding the most appropriate binding option for your kid, and not using one too tight or for too long, it’s worth looking into things like strength building and mobility work to keep the muscles and connective tissue of the torso healthy long term.

Finding a good binder alone can help prevent some of the issues I see in my office, bc people aren’t as likely to crunch, shrink and cave their chests to hide their bust if they have a good binder but STILL. I have found a lot of success with my clients if they spend time 1-building strength in the upper back and shoulders 2-opening/stretching their chest muscles, 3-go for brisk, tall, arm swinging walks regularly.

Those descriptors/key words should get you some advice online but thing “rows” “overhead press” pushups/pullups, “heart opening” yoga, etc.”
