Experiencing Blocked Ducts or Mastitis? Our Lactation Physiotherapy services in Katong, Singapore can help.

Sore and engorged breasts are the last thing a new mum needs to deal with and is a common complaint of lactating women, apart from a decreased or insufficient milk supply.

What is Mastitis?
Mastitis is an inflammatory condition of the lactating breast tissue as a result of a milk stasis. It may or may not be associated with infection.

This may be a result of ineffective milk removal through positioning or issues with the baby’s latch, over supply, missed feeds, cracked/damaged nipples or compression of the breast such as from underwire bras.

Timing is of the essence when it comes to blocked ducts and mastitis and as such we will prioritise appointments for patients with conditions of the lactating breast.

Therapeutic ultrasound is a quick and effective non-pharmacological treatment for the inflammatory symptoms of Mastitis as it helps to break down the blockage and prevents ongoing symptoms. It also enhances healing rates, tissue relaxation, local blood flow and tissue healing. These treatments will occur daily, until symptoms have resolved.

We also focus on manual handling techniques such as lymphatic drainage, kinesiotaping, positioning and self-management techniques to ease the pain and also to prevent recurrence.

This can only be determined after assessment of your condition. Some only require 1 session, whereas others may require 4-5 sessions.

I had a great experience at Embrace physiotherapy with Dr Preet. I started my journey the last trimester of my pregnancy to assess my pelvic floor strength and relaxation level. Dr Preet helped me go through until the end of my pregnancy with exercise plan for the pelvic floor, my hips and quads. My delivery went very smoothly and I am lucky to not have tear or abs separation. I went back after delivery to strengthen back my pelvic floor and got discharge with the chance to fully get back to my usual sport practice. Dr Preet has been wonderful. She listens to your needs carefully and take the time to evaluate your body range of movement. It was also nice to feel understood and share experience as a new mother.

I started seeing Preet about 6 weeks ago to try and resolve a niggling back pain. Preet was patient and thorough in her review of what was causing the problem. I found Preet approachable, trustworthy and professional in her approach. She showed me a handful of exercises to do which reduced the pain and made me feel so much better. Her genuine passion for what she does alongside her practical approach makes the service at Embrace unbeatable. Thank you!
