Abstract

Breast prosthesis is used for various reasons, whether health issues related to self-esteem or problems of organic origin that lead to moderate and severe pathologies. Breast implants consist of performing an increase in the size of the breasts, often not respecting the woman's body proportion, which can generate cervical dystonia in the medium and long term. The general objective was to gather data and analyze, from scientific publications, of the last six years, the relationship between breast implants and neck pain. Methodology: The present study deals with a qualitative analysis, based on research characterized as a bibliographic review, exploratory and descriptive. Results: 65 articles were found in database searches. Of this total, 20 were excluded for not being in line with the theme. Of the 45 remaining articles, 19 were excluded due to duplicity, leaving 26 articles that were included in the composition and development of the work. The reviewed articles suggest a relationship between breast volume and cervical dystonia, as consequence of the change in weight distribution. Conclusion: The intervention of the Physical Education Professional in the prescription of strength, mobility, and stretching training should be highly considered to minimize and treat cervical dystonia. Further studies are needed to understand the best methodology.
