What is Mastitis?
- Breast pain and swelling
- Redness or heat
- Flu-like symptoms such as fever and chills
- Difficulty feeding.
It’s a common condition, but that doesn’t mean you have to push through alone.
How Physiotherapy can help
Our team uses a combination of safe, non-invasive techniques to speed up healing and relieve discomfort, this includes:
Therapeutic Ultrasound – This gentle modality uses sound waves to improve blood flow, break down blockages, and promote drainage, often providing fast relief from inflammation and pain.
Breast Lymphatic Drainage – Targeted, gentle massage helps stimulate milk flow, reduce swelling, and relieve pressure in the affected tissue.
Lymphatic Taping – Using kinesiology tape, we can support better lymphatic drainage and ease swelling.
Education and Self-Care – We’ll guide you through feeding positions, posture tips, and self-massage techniques to help prevent recurrence and promote long-term breast health.
