Mastitis

Mastitis is an inflammation of the breast tissue, often caused by infection. It is most common among breastfeeding women but can affect others as well. It typically causes pain, swelling, warmth, and redness in the breast, and may also lead to flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, and fatigue. (The condition can occur when a milk duct becomes blocked or when bacteria enter the breast tissue.)

Physiotherapy for Mastitis aims to:

Reduce pain
Reduce inflammation
Promote milk drainage
Prevent recurrent episodes

At Seaforth Physio we use various techniques to alleviate symptoms including massage therapy, cold and warm compresses, positioning and latching advice, postural advice, breathing exercises as well as pelvic floor and core exercises.
