Want to help mamas and breastfeeding parents have happier, healthier boobs?
The only online breast health continuing education course for physical therapists, lactation consultants, and healthcare clinicians from Your Two Jugs
Raise your hand if you’ve ever heard one of your breastfeeding patients say this (or something like it):
“My breasts hurt so bad with this mastitis. If something doesn’t change, I’ll have to stop breastfeeding. Please help?!”
Got a hand raised?
Now, raise another hand if you've felt unsure about what to suggest to breastfeeding parents when they come to you with questions about how to alleviate:
- Breast pain
- Intense breast tenderness
- Breast swelling
- Skin redness, discolouration, or irritation
- Lumps or knots in the breast
- Pain or burning sensation while breastfeeding
Two hands in the air?
You're not alone!
Most manual therapists and clinical professionals aren’t taught much about pre- and post-partum breast health at university.
Even lactation consultants are provided very little direction when it comes to the hands-on world of breast tissue treatment.
And we’re willing to bet even if you’ve tried to learn more by taking lactation workshops, brushing up on women’s health online, or reading studies about common breastfeeding conditions…
You probably still aren’t sure how to provide care in the clinic.
Especially when it comes to treating mastitis, blocked ducts, engorgement, and other inflammatory breast tissue conditions, a lot of the available knowledge can be incomplete or contradictory.
Sound familiar?
We know because we’ve been there ourselves!
(You can put your hands down now.)
That’s because boobs (especially lactating ones) are largely left out of the healthcare convo
We can all agree that mamas are amazing. And their boobs are amazing too.
And given the frequency of mastitis and breast inflammatory conditions, you’d think breast health education would be at the forefront of women’s health.
But the reality is most healthcare providers aren’t taught how to assess, treat, or help lactating boobs in need of care.
After a combined 20 years of studying and treating breastfeeding mamas in the clinic, we’ve learned a thing or two about boobs.
So, let’s start busting some of the most common breast healthcare myths, shall we?
Myth #1
Breast problem? Antibiotics are the solution!
While antibiotics can be appropriate under certain circumstances, not all inflammation is caused by bacteria in the breast.
In Reality…
Antibiotics are overprescribed for breastfeeding conditions
When it comes to mastitis, blocked ducts, or engorgement, manual massage and simple stretches can often reduce inflammation without the use of antibiotics.
Myth #2
Lymphatic massage is the only technique you need to know
Most healthcare professionals learn one massage approach to treat breastfeeding conditions. But when it comes to boobs, a one-size fits all approach never works.
In Reality…
Relying on one technique will sell your patients short on recovery given the unique nature of breast tissue
Spoiler: We have over 15 techniques we use in the clinic and recommend for at-home care
Myth #3
Always massage the breast toward the nipple
This advice is the most common recommendation for health care professionals when it comes to treating breast tissue inflammation, but this often doesn’t work.
In Reality…
Massage techniques can be tailored to individual cases
To properly diagnose and treat breast inflammation conditions, we use a combo of ultrasound, lymphatic drainage massage, and hand massage. Every patient is unique.
*Spoiler: We use the “massage toward the nipple” technique the least!
Myth #4
Milk-making glands and connecting ducts are the problem in lactation conditions
Popular opinions tell us glandular and ductal tissue are the culprits when it comes to mastitis, blocked ducts, or engorgement. But this isn’t always so.
In Reality…
Inflammatory conditions can be caused by blood flow, lymphatic drainage, hormones, and other breast tissues
Solely focusing on milk-producing tissue means you risk ignoring the real cause of many inflammatory breast conditions.
Wild stuff, right?
And that’s just the tippy top of the iceberg.
The bottom line:
Healthcare professionals (that’s you!) deserve better tools and education to provide reliable and effective care to breastfeeding patients.
So we can better support mamas and breastfeeding parents—one boob at a time.

“Highly recommend this mastitis treatment. This is my 2nd baby and instead of automatically going on antibiotics which is what the GP would prescribe I was able to manage the onset of mastitis with this treatment instead which was so beneficial for me and my newborn. I recommend this to everyone!”
“I have had ongoing mastitis and engorgement issues since my baby was 1 month old and she is now 18 weeks. The ultrasound therapy really helped to break up the lumpiness and the massage techniques were incredibly helpful too. I’ve continued to use the massage techniques at home as soon as I feel any lumpiness and it helps move the fluid almost straight away. Katie is genuinely invested in helping her clients and investigating why the issues happen to begin with instead of just focusing on fixing it.”
“I suspected I had mastitis in the middle of the night when I began feeling the chills. It took away all anxiety overnight knowing I had that appointment. I just think the service you provide is outstanding. Thank you!”
“I was so fortunate I found out about this service after speaking with my baby's osteo about my symptoms. My GP had led me to believe antibiotics was only treatment. I had tried self help and was doing aggressive massage as per internet. I wish your clinic was known more broadly!! Thank you.”
“ I felt immediately comfortable and had confidence in all three therapists. I only wish I had found your clinic sooner. There must be so many women who are suffering who need your help and not the help of their GP. My GP only offered antibiotics which didn't help anyway.”
“I have recommended you to others and let my GP know to refer patients with mastitis to you as well! Really highly recommended and wouldn’t hesitate to return if needed. You guys saved me when I needed it most, thank you :)”
“Really appreciate the work you're doing and the service you're providing. I was able to avoid antibiotics and keep feeding with minimal pain after the treatment!”
Turns out there are perks to being a total boob nerd…
Book 10 appointments (or less!) and Boob Hero pays for itself
When you can assess and treat inflammatory breast conditions, you’re not only helping mamas in need, you’re adding to your professional skill set. Which means you can solve more problems for your patients.
Our goal? To give you the tools to think holistically and globally about breast health so you can help hundreds (or thousands!) of mamas have happier, healthier boobs.
And after just the first ten appointments you book, your Boob Hero investment will have paid for itself.
That’s what we call a win for you and a win for your future patients.
See you in the course, you big boob hero, you.
—Elise and Katie
