Mastitis falls under the umbrella term of inflammatory conditions of lactating breast (ICLB). It affects up to ~20% of women that breast-feed.

Symptoms that are commonly seen include redness, inflammation, a mass felt near the areola, pain and change in milk supply.

Depending on whether an infection is occurring with mastitis, it’s important to get advice from your GP and/or lactation specialist.

Physiotherapy can be a useful tool to address inflammation and pain. We can provide education of feeding, posture, non-weight bearing exercises and ultrasound therapy treatment.

If you are interested in trying out physiotherapy treatment for your mastitis, please don’t hesitate to contact us and book in with our physiotherapist Jasmine!
