That’s why we treat the person, not just the breast. ## What is Mastitis? Mastitis is an inflammatory breast condition that can develop during breastfeeding. It often starts with congestion and inflammation, and may become bacterial if left untreated. Common symptoms include: Breast pain, redness, or swelling A firm or hot lump in the breast Fever, body aches or flu-like symptoms Pain during or after feeding Feeling tired or emotionally depleted Recent research has redefined our understanding of mastitis—not just as a blocked duct, but as a **spectrum of inflammation**. Early, gentle treatment is key to avoiding complications and getting you back to feeling like yourself. ## How We Treat Mastitis at All for One Hampton East Our **women’s health physiotherapists** are specially trained in mastitis management. When you book in, here’s what you can expect: **Therapeutic ultrasound** to reduce inflammation and encourage fluid drainage **Lymphatic massage** (gentle, not deep tissue) to support healing A full assessment of your symptoms and feeding pattern Advice on self-care, feeding positions and recovery Referrals to a trusted **local lactation consultant or GP** if needed We’re located conveniently in **Hampton East**, supporting families from **Moorabbin**, **Bentleigh**, **Highett**, **Cheltenham** and surrounding suburbs. ## What is Women’s Health Physiotherapy?
