Mastitis is inflammation of the breast tissue, often caused by blocked milk ducts during breastfeeding. It can lead to pain, swelling, redness, warmth and flu-like symptoms. If not treated early, it may progress to infection.
Blocked ducts may feel like a firm lump in the breast and can interfere with feeding or expressing. Both conditions can cause physical discomfort and emotional stress, especially during the postpartum period.
At Flow Motion, we offer gentle, hands-on support to relieve pain and help restore natural milk flow. We assess posture, feeding positions, and contributing factors such as muscle tightness or inflammation.
Treatment is designed to reduce symptoms, support recovery, and help prevent recurrence—so you can feel more comfortable and confident in your breastfeeding journey.
Treatment May Include:
Therapeutic ultrasound for duct relief
Gentle manual therapy for breast tissue
Postural support for feeding comfort
Lymphatic drainage and swelling reduction
Breast care education and self-massage
trategies to prevent future blockages
You’re not alone in this. We’re here to support you with caring, practical treatment tailored to your needs as a new mum.
