Step 1. Ultrasound therapy vibrates and jiggles the tissues to loosen a blockage. This is focused on the congested, painful area of your breast.

Step 2. Massage therapy from our highly skilled hands to move fluids and lumps away from the problematic area.  This can soften the tissues to regain fluid flow to the breast and relieve pressure & pain.  Many women expect massage to be painful and in fact it’s not.  You will be very comfortable, we guarantee it!

Step 3. You are taught how to massage the breast tissue for the best drainage to avoid this scenario in future.  The right technique with self-massage can make all the difference. A take-home sheet will be provided so you don’t have to memorise the techniques.

Step 4. Follow-up care.  Our plan is to get you past this challenge and we will follow-up with you until you are “right”.

Don’t be fooled by mastitis practitioners only offering breast ultrasound alone.  The massage component is very important to move fluid blockages, helping your body to heal itself.  That’s why it’s essential in what we do.

Why is our specific treatment sought after by GP’s and lactation consultants?

We have a detailed understanding of:

• how to drain breast tissue that has become inflamed and/or infected
• how to move the lumps and fluids from where they are currently congested

With our experience & knowledge of the physical differences of mastitis, blocked ducts, engorgement, & breast tissue congestion, our method can help clarify what is often a confusing & stressful situation.

Our practitioners have also identified many breast abscesses by feel, & can refer to appropriate avenues for resolution.

Our goal is to relieve the pain & give you a solid plan for recovery.  Breast-feeding challenges create stress. So providing you with genuine support is also high on our priority list and CLEAR answers to your questions.

We are a lovely, friendly bunch that work with you to get it right. From our knowledgeable admin team & professional Osteopathic care, to the follow-up contact on your progress, we work with you from start to finish.

Our team are here ready to take your call and questions and get to the bottom of the problem with you.

*If there are no mastitis appointments available online please call reception on 9859 5059 as we often re-organise the diary to fit mastitis clients in.

Being Osteopaths, we have excellent skills to work through the tightness and tenderness in your back, neck and ribs, working to improve the movement through the chest area.

This is an added health benefit as improved mobility through your muscles and joints may improve the circulation and fluid dynamics throughout your breast, back and rib-cage.

Osteo treatment also encourages freer movement, instead of the cramped, hunched feeling breast-feeding posture tends to promote. 

AND we teach you some great ways to stay mobile while breast-feeding and beyond.

Research.

Some research has shown that Ultrasound therapy as well as massage to the breast may reduce inflammation & pain, and help unblock breast ducts (1).  Another study found that a reduction in the firmness of the lump after the first treatment was detectable (4).
