Physiotherapy Support for Breastfeeding and Mastitis In Perth

Gentle, evidence-informed care for new mums.

Breastfeeding is a special time that can also bring physical challenges. Postural changes, muscle tension, or inflammation can cause discomfort, and some women may experience conditions such as mastitis or blocked milk ducts. Our physiotherapists provide supportive care and education to help you manage these changes safely and effectively.
