Mastitis is an inflammation of breast tissue that can be painful, exhausting, and sometimes accompanied by infection. It often happens when milk ducts become blocked, leading to swelling, redness, and tenderness. While it’s common in breastfeeding women, it can also occur in other circumstances.
If you’re experiencing mastitis, early management is key to recovery. Strategies that can help include:
💛 Keep feeding (even when it’s uncomfortable) – clearing the blockage helps.
💛 Use heat before feeds to encourage milk flow.
💛 Apply ice packs afterwards to reduce swelling.
💛 Gentle massage in small circles with light pressure – avoid deep, forceful movements.
💛 Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
💛 Rest as much as possible to support your body’s healing.
At Focus with Form Physiotherapy, ultrasound therapy can also be an effective and gentle way to reduce inflammation, ease pain, and help clear blockages faster. If you’re struggling with mastitis, don’t wait until symptoms worsen – book an appointment for ultrasound therapy today so you can start feeling relief sooner.
Your comfort, recovery, and ongoing breastfeeding journey matter. You don’t have to push through this alone – support is just a phone call or click away.

Will/Can I be referred for additional assessment, such as an MRI?
Physiotherapists can refer you for scans. Depending on your injury, we may or may not suggest a scan. We will talk to you about this in your session. If a scan is required, your GP will always be notified.

Initially, your appointment is 45 minutes long. After this, your appointments will be shortened to 30 minutes.
What should I wear?
Comfy clothing. However, if you’re coming from work, that is absolutely fine, and if you have shorts or a singlet to bring, please do.
Please note for some of the assessments, you might be asked to take off an item of clothing for a thorough assessment. Please let the Therapist know if you do not wish to do so. Your comfort is vital for a true assessment.
