Physio for Breastfeeding Issues

Physiotherapy Support for Breastfeeding Mothers

Some of the challenges breastfeeding mothers face include engorgement, blocked ducts, and mastitis—and yes, Physiotherapy can help!

The primary goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation, relieve discomfort, and support you in continuing your breastfeeding journey. One of the most effective tools we use is Therapeutic Ultrasound, which delivers a gentle micromassage to the affected tissue. This, combined with hands-on massage and manual therapy, helps improve lymphatic drainage and reduce swelling in the breast and underarm area.

Ultrasound therapy is:

  • Pain-free and non-invasive

  • Safe and does not interfere with your feeding routine

 

Having personally experienced these challenges myself, I understand how distressing they can be. You will be treated with compassion, care, and clinical expertise throughout. I also work closely with local lactation consultants, ensuring a collaborative, supportive approach for both you and your baby.

Please note it’s recommended to bring your baby with you as feeding after treatment is helpful to optimise your recovery.
