Osteopathy for Lactation and Breast Care

Osteopathy- Lactation and Breast Care
at OOI

At Osteopaths of Ivanhoe, we’re committed to supporting women through painful and challenging breast conditions. Our service is designed to help with a range of inflammatory conditions that can affect comfort, breastfeeding, and overall wellness including mastitis, engorgement, blocked ducts, cracked or damaged nipples, blebs and vasospasm.

Emma is a highly trained and experienced practitioner with further post-graduate education in breast care and women’s health. As a mother of two children she brings both clinical skill and lived experience.

Treatment may include one or more of the following: Therapeutic Ultrasound using The Intelect Transport 2 ULTRASOUND device, lymphatic and drainage techniques, hands‑on osteopathic techniques, home stretches, education, and self‑management strategies.

You may be asked to expose the breast area so that the necessary hands-on techniques and ultrasound therapy can be applied. Your comfort, dignity and privacy are always our priority.

Osteopathy- Lactation and Breast Care can benefit:

Reduced breast discomfort or pain associated with inflammatory conditions such as mastitis, blocked ducts, or engorgement.
Support for improved breast drainage, which may help reduce swelling, firmness, or areas of congestion.
Assistance with mobility and comfort of surrounding muscles and tissues, including the chest wall, ribs, and upper back.
Therapeutic ultrasound may support tissue healing responses and may help soften firm or inflamed areas.

Education and practical strategies to help manage flare-ups, prevent recurrence, and support breastfeeding goals.
Personalised self-management plan including stretches, positioning tips, warm/cold therapy guidance, and home routines.
Earlier recognition of when medical review is required, supporting safe and timely escalation of care.
A supportive and safe space to discuss symptoms, concerns, feeding challenges, and recovery needs with a trained practitioner.
