Mastitis Treatment and Management at Platinum Physio

Mastitis Management At Platinum Physio, we offer Mastitis treatment from our Caulfield clinic.
 
Mastitis often occurs in the early weeks of breastfeeding (highest incidence 2-3 weeks post delivery) whilst feeding is being established, or when baby changes feeding patterns, starts sleeping longer overnight, or is weaning.

Mastitis often comes on very quickly – you can go from feeling fine to feeling awful with a temperature and raging red sore breast/s within a few hours.

Physiotherapists have long been using therapeutic ultrasound to assist with the
management of blocked ducts, breast engorgement and mastitis. 
Therapeutic ultrasound is only one of many treatment options, and we always recommend that you have a multidisciplinary team to assist with any lactation issues, such as your GP, a lactation consultant, your midwife or your maternal health nurse.


Therapeutic ultrasound is a non-invasive treatment and is used to help with breast inflammation by using sound waves to produce a micro massage effect in the tissues which can assist with pain relief, reduction of swelling and adequate drainage of breast ducts. It is recommended to have 2 to 3 consecutive treatments and that your baby be fed within 30 mins of the treatment to optimise outcomes.

Pre and Post Natal Care

Many women avoid exercise during and after their pregnancies for fear of causing harm to themselves or their baby.

Pregnancy is a time when your body is going through incredible changes, and it’s easy to feel like you’re not in control. You may be worried about developing pain, or losing the strength you’ve gained.

Our Pre and Post Natal Exercise sessions are designed specifically for pregnant and post-natal women. We will help you to safely improve or maintain your fitness, so that you feel confident and prepared for the physical demands of being a new mum!

To get started just call us or book online to organise your initial assessment with one of our physiotherapists.
