Lymphatic Breast Massage assists in promoting healthy breast tissue. Breast Massage helps to reduce fibroids and cysts and relieves the pain and discomfort associated with PMS or compression from bras. Breast Massage helps to alleviate pain and tension from stress in the chest muscles and assists in healthy tissue regeneration and scar reduction following surgery.

Women often seek breast massage for relief from pain and tenderness or for treatment of various medical conditions. Some women are interested in proactive preventative breast health care or feel that breasts are a natural part of their body that should not be ignored. Breast Massage is a logical choice for healthy breast care.

 All-Natural Breast Health & Wellness Care That Works!

 

Lymphatic Breast Massage Assists in Promoting Healthy Breast Tissue.

 

Lymphatic Breast Massage Is Amazing! Breast Massage helps to reduce fibroids and cysts and relieves the pain and discomfort associated with PMS or compression from bras. This work helps to relieve pain and tension from stress in the muscles of the chest wall and assists in healthy tissue regeneration and scar reduction following surgery. According to Medical News Today, "Breast massage may help detect breast cancer, support lymphatic drainage, and relieve pain from breastfeeding."

While some women seek breast massage for relief from pain and tenderness or for treatment of a variety of medical conditions, others are interested in proactive, preventative breast health care. Many women feel that breasts are a natural part of their body that should not be ignored.

My Journey To Learn, Perform and Teach Lymphatic Breast Massage 

Alan Jordan, LMT, NCTMB

by Alan Jordan

In addition to offering Lymphatic Breast Massage in my private massage therapy practice, I have taught Lymphatic Breast Massage at continuing education (CE) seminars, at massage therapy conferences, and in massage therapy schools for over 20 years.

I first learned of Lymphatic Breast Massage while attending an American Massage Therapy Association Council of Schools(AMTA) (COS) annual conference in 1999. Then COS president Debra Curties, RMT, led a presentation about why breast massage should be included in massage therapy school curriculums. In addition to being the COS President,  Debra was Executive Director of the Sutherland-Chan School of Massage in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and had recently authored the book Breast Massage. Debra's presentation was enlightening.  I learned about the significant health benefits of Breast Massage.  I learned about how teaching breast massage to students not only equipped them with a valuable modality for their practice but also significantly increased their palpatory skills, ethical boundaries, and confidence.  Debra's presentation sparked a thirst in me and other conference attendees from my school to learn more. 

Shortly after attending the COS conference, the decision was made to include Lymphatic Breast Massage in our school's curriculum. I was asked to develop and co-teach the program. My teaching partner and I began studying breast anatomy, physiology, pathology, wellness care, breast massage, and more. In addition to avid independent study, we traveled to Canada to learn with Debra Curties. In Columbus, Ohio, we studied Lymphatic Breast Care with Dr. Bruno Chickley, MD, and then I studied Massage for Breast Health with Susanrachel Condon at the Swedish Institute of Massage in New York City. We developed the Lymphatic Breast Massage curriculum and began teaching the course at our school, Tennessee Institute of Healing Arts in Chattanooga, TN. The program was immediately successful and achieved all the objectives for which we had hoped.

Breast Massage Draping

When working with breast tissue, you have the options of being undraped, undraping one breast at a time, or full draping. No draping is generally the best option as it allows for a full visual inspection of breast variances that may need to be addressed, allows for more complete work, and avoids possible nipple chafing as breasts move under the sheet.
 
Most women who were concerned about awkwardness before having an undraped breast massage, report that any reservations disappeared when the treatment began. However, you always are welcome to choose partial or complete draping if you wish. As with any massage procedure, you may change your mind at any time!
