Saskatoon Breast Massage & Lactation Support Sessions
Our Highly Trained Registered Massage Therapist worked on Clinical Breast Cancer Research Studies with the University Of Saskatchewan.
At StoonRMT, we offer Breast Massage—a combination of myofascial release, direct breast work, & Lymphatic Drainage Therapy.
Your breasts are living, dynamic tissue. Influenced by hormones, lymph, fascia, blood flow, stress, and the daily mechanics of feeding. Breast massage can be a powerful form of general health care and prevention, and it can also be targeted support during breastfeeding challenges (especially when inflammation and congestion are part of the picture).
Boob Hero–trained, evidence-informed breast massage with a calm, consent-based, body-respecting approach. This work is designed to support comfort, drainage, and tissue resilience, and to help you feel more at home in your body.
Who This Session Is For?
You’d love this session if you:
-
Want breast care as part of your general wellness + prevention routine (especially if you tend toward tight chest/pecs, restricted lymph flow, or high stress patterns).
-
Are pregnant and want to prepare your tissue and nervous system for postpartum changes (without forcing anything).
-
Are breastfeeding and feeling fullness, tenderness, “stuck” areas, or recurring congestion.
-
Have had previous breastfeeding challenges and want a proactive plan.
-
Feel anxious about breast symptoms and want skilled hands + clear education and home support.
Also supportive if you’re navigating:
-
Physiological or pathological engorgement (the “hot balloon” phase many people feel when milk shifts in).
-
“Blocked/clogged ducts” sensations (often better understood as inflammation + ductal narrowing, not a literal milk plug).
-
Blebs / milk blisters (pinpoint pain at the nipple pore, often tied to inflammation behind the scenes).
-
Mastitis-spectrum inflammation support (non-emergency, alongside appropriate medical care when needed).
Breast Massage for General Health & Prevention
Breast massage isn’t only for crises. In a prevention lens, it can support:
-
Lymphatic flow + tissue hydration (especially if you feel puffy, tender, or “dense” in the chest)
-
Fascial mobility through the chest wall, ribs, collarbone region, and underarm
-
Nervous system settling, which matters because stress, pain, and feeling unsafe can disrupt let-down physiology
-
A more connected relationship with your breasts — body literacy is a form of health care
Book With Confidence
This work is especially helpful when paired with good feeding support and a plan that respects your body’s pacing.
If you’re in Saskatoon and want skilled, grounded breast care that blends hands-on support + education, this is for you.
Depending on your needs, your session may include:
-
Intake + symptom mapping (what you’re feeling, where, and when it started)
-
Gentle breast, chest wall, and underarm techniques to support drainage and tissue ease
-
Education on what’s likely happening physiologically (so you can stop spiraling)
-
Simple home support suggestions (comfort measures, pacing, and when to reassess)
Everything is consent-led. You are always in control.
Frequently Asked Questions
Breastfeeding & Lactation
1. Can breast massage help with clogged ducts or engorgement?
Many sensations described as “clogged ducts” are now understood as inflammation and tissue swelling around the milk ducts, not a literal plug. Gentle, lymph-aware breast massage can help reduce pressure, improve fluid movement, and support comfort — without aggressive or painful techniques.
2. Is breast massage safe while breastfeeding?
Yes, when performed gently and with an inflammation-informed approach. Breast massage should never be painful or forceful. The goal is to support circulation, lymphatic drainage, and tissue ease — not to “push milk out.”
3. When should I seek medical care instead of massage?
If you have severe symptoms, rapidly worsening pain, fever that isn’t improving, or a firm, localized area that doesn’t respond to conservative care, medical assessment may be needed. Breast massage can complement care, but some conditions require imaging or medical treatment.
General Breast & Women’s Health
4. Do I need to be breastfeeding to benefit from breast massage?
Not at all. Breast massage can be supportive at any life stage — including PMS, perimenopause, menopause, or simply as preventative care. Breasts are hormonally responsive, lymph-rich tissue that benefit from circulation and gentle movement regardless of where you are in life.
5. Can breast massage help with cyclical breast pain or tenderness?
Yes. Cyclical breast discomfort is often related to hormonal shifts, fluid retention, lymph congestion, and chest wall tension. Gentle breast and chest work may help reduce swelling, improve tissue mobility, and ease discomfort over time.
6. Is breast massage appropriate if I’ve had surgery or medical procedures?
Possibly — but only after appropriate medical clearance. Once healing has progressed, gentle work can support scar mobility, circulation, and lymphatic flow. Sessions are always adapted to your history and comfort level.
