Why Physical Therapy?
Clogged milk ducts and mastitis are painful, stressful, and can escalate quickly if not addressed. While warm compresses and massage at home can help, therapeutic ultrasound and manual lymphatic drainage performed by a trained physical therapist can resolve a clogged duct significantly faster — often in a single session.
We know that when you're dealing with mastitis, every hour counts. That's why we do our best to offer same-day or next-day appointments for acute breast concerns.

We understand that mastitis and clogged ducts can't wait. Contact us as soon as possible — we will do our best to see you the same day or first thing the next morning.
