Lower Back Pain due to Implants or disproportionate breast size is pimarily the consequence of a weak lower back rather than the breasts. From a Purely physical development perspective large breasts should not result in pain, the gradual increase in size of the breast is made in concert with a gradual increase in lower back strength. So! If that is the case, why the pain? The 21st Century's demands on Study and Work and numerous sedentary events we engage in mean that while the breasts grow in side, the lower back is not engaged for the same duration and increases in concert. This is why correct seated posture is requested, leaning forward does not require as much stress on the lower back's muscle groups.
What does the Lower Back Support?
The Lower Back muscle group supports ALL weight held/placed above this point. The Chest, the Shoulders, Head, Arms etc. In lamers terms, if you weigh approximately 70kgs, and your upper-body weighs 30kgs, your lower back is required to lift 30 at a minimum. The more your upper body size increases, the more strain on the lower back. This is why Pregnancy has such an effect, Pregnancy with thought is fine, Pregnancy without thought creates negative consequences. In this situation the sudden mass increase creates a level of stress and strain on the lower back.
So How Do I Fix This?
The Lower Back requires focus in order to be improved. This is best approached by doing Hyper Extension Exercises on a Hyper Extention Machine. The best ability to aim for is Strength passed the point required. i.e your Upper Body weighs 40kgs, so aim to be able to lift 60-70kgs. (Translated to Hyper-Extensions, that may only be 20-30kgs of weight plate) as your Lower Back is ADDING this amount to that of your own bodies existing mass.
The best range would be 10kgs for 10 reps, 20kgs for 10, 20 kgs for 10, then after a month, Raise the levels by 5kgs.
If you are already Pregnant, the best approach is Aqua Therapy until you are able to switch to traditional training methods, Aqua Therapy lacks the Gravity affect for true long-term benefits.
This applies to Breast Implants as well, otherwise Sudden Weight increases can cause pain.
Today's society focuses primarily on "Management of Pain" rather than "Elimination of Pain". This is a particularly ignorant and a deliberate view.
On a side note, if one were to apply the Hierarchy of Control Matrix to Backpain; Elimination is the first method and also the most easily attainable for reducing this pain. Consider our bodies a "workplace".

So...You want to be a Miner in Australia? How does one become a Miner?
(Firstly this generally applies to Australian PR, Citizen or Skilled Migrants. The majority of companies do NOT take a 417 work visa as this visa has a 6mth restriction on employees and thus makes costly training requirements difficult to justify)
This is the question I get asked everytime I socialise "can you get me a job?"
(SITE Based) In the mining sector there is generally 5-6 types of employee's;
Support Staff: Caterers/Domestics, Security, Site Admin
Safety Staff, Training Staff, associated admins
Operational Staff: Drivers, Vehicle Operators, Drillers, Drillers Offsiders, Process Operators
Construction Staff: Riggers, Scaffolders, Welders, TA's, Concreting
*Trade Papered Staff: Boilermakers, Fitters, HD Fitters
*Engineering Staff, Management, Human Resources
The latter 2 I will ignore, it is self explanatory and this information assumes that a trade has not be completed.
Generally for those who seek an entry level into the mining sector, the easiest and cheapest is to become either a domestic/caterer or drillers offsider. A drillers offsider however can only be considered a cheap entry point provided one works in Underground drilling. Surface drillers require a HR-B licence at a minimum.
The next least expensive option would be as Security; however site security generally require some security/crowd control experience, and although the course is cheap, the duration required can be considerable.
The other option is more expensive and is a Surface drillers offsider with a HR Licence. A HR Licence costs approximately 1500-2500 depending on the skill and familiarity of the driver and trainer.
Safety and Training type roles are generally limited to those with industry experience. Qualifying at TAFE does not give you any experience in which to pass on, or the ability to impart knowledge and skills to employees.
How do I write a CV for the Mining Sector?
A CV should be written with the job required/desired as the focus. It should target the job. If you have a Masters Degree and you wish to be a Drillers Offsider ask the question "if this information pertinent?". Similarly to if you hold unusual qualifications that are not required. Highlight the skills and attributes that you have, that apply directly to the job. Is it Labour Intensive? Do I need to lead teams? Do I need to be in an Isolated Camp?
Driving a Truck great distances does not reflect on the ability to do manual labour, so make sure you highligh both skills.
