The ultimate guide for trans and non-binary people in how to bind in the safest possible way and manage pain and dysphoria - written by a licensed bodywork and massage therapist.

Binding is a crucial strategy in many transgender and non-binary people's lives for coping with gender dysphoria, yet the vast majority of those who bind report some negative physical symptoms. Written by Frances Reed, a licensed bodywork and massage therapist specialising in gender transition, this comprehensive guide helps you make the healthiest choices from the very start of your binding journey.

Including guidance for choosing the right binder, approaching your first bind, an overview of potential health risks and complications, a range of self-massage and self-fascial release exercises to minimize pain and dysphoria, as well as tips and tricks for exercising safely in a binder - this is the ultimate resource for anyone that practices chest binding.

Frances Reed is a licensed massage therapist practicing in Washington, DC, at Freed Bodyworks, a queer and trans-centered wellness center, which they founded in 2011. They specialize in bodywork that supports gender transition.
