Why Physical Therapy?

You Don't Have to Just Wait It Out

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.

How We Treat It

Our Techniques

Therapeutic Ultrasound

Medical-grade ultrasound uses sound waves to break up blockages within the duct and reduce inflammation — often providing relief within a single treatment session.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Gentle manual techniques to stimulate lymph flow, reduce swelling, and help the body clear inflammation and fluid from breast tissue.

Soft Tissue Mobilization

Targeted manual therapy to address muscle tension and fascial restrictions in the chest wall that can contribute to duct blockage and pain.

Same-Day Appointments When Possible

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.

FAQs

Common Questions

How quickly does treatment work?

Many patients experience significant relief during or immediately after their first session. Therapeutic ultrasound in particular is known for its rapid effect on clogged ducts. Results vary based on how long the blockage has been present.

Is it safe to continue breastfeeding during treatment?

Yes — in most cases, continuing to breastfeed or pump is encouraged during treatment. We'll give you guidance specific to your situation.

What if I have a fever — do I need to see a doctor first?

If you have a fever, severe redness, or suspect an abscess, please contact your OB, midwife, or primary care provider in addition to reaching out to us. Mastitis with fever may require antibiotic treatment alongside physical therapy.

How many sessions will I need?

Many patients need only 1–2 sessions for an acute clogged duct. Chronic or recurrent blockages may benefit from additional sessions and a preventive plan.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is required. Contact us directly — the sooner, the better.
