Lactation massage is a specialized massage technique that focuses on supporting breastfeeding individuals in their breastfeeding journey. It involves gentle and targeted massage techniques on the breasts and surrounding areas to help promote milk production, alleviate breast engorgement, and address any discomfort or issues related to breastfeeding. During a lactation massage session, the therapist uses gentle strokes, circular motions, and compression techniques to stimulate milk flow, reduce swelling, and relieve tension or pain in the breasts. The massage may also involve lymphatic‑drainage methods to encourage proper fluid circulation and help prevent or alleviate blocked milk ducts. Lactation massage offers a range of benefits, including increased milk supply, relief from breast pain or inflammation, improved let‑down reflex, and overall relaxation. It can also provide emotional support and a sense of well‑being during the breastfeeding journey.
