Breast Health: Massage & Self-care

Breast Massage and Breast Health Sessions
Washington State now allows Licensed Massage Therapists to provide breast massage once we have completed 16 hours of specialized breast massage instruction.  I was fortunate to train under one of the teachers who lobbied extensively to make it legal, and have continued to train with her beyond the minimum requirements.  I see breast massage as an important offering, falling under two main categories: sessions specific to breast health, and breast work as a component of a regular wellness massage. 

Sessions focused on breast health can provide: 
  • treatment for breast tenderness
  • increased circulation/lymph flow for optimal breast health
  • post-surgical scar tissue remediation
  • prenatal preparation for breastfeeding 
  • lactation support to address blocked ducts & supply issues
  • instruction in breast self-massage, breast self-check and lifestyle practices for breast health​

Breast massage incorporated into a wellness massage can provide:
  • a more thorough full-body massage 
  • specific treatment for muscular/myofascial issues related to restrictions in the shoulder, chest and/or rib cage
  • normalization of non-sexual touch
  • facilitation of more integrated & holistic body awareness
