What a session may include
Your therapist chooses techniques based on your symptoms, history, healing stage, and comfort.

When appropriate, treatment may also include shoulder and chest mobility work or simple individualized self-care suggestions for use between visits.

Common questions
Breast health massage therapy FAQ
What is breast health massage therapy?
It is specialized massage focused on breast and chest-area comfort, surrounding tissue mobility, post-surgical changes, and related upper-body tension. It is not a clinical breast examination, cancer screening, or diagnostic service.
What symptoms or concerns may it support?
Clients may seek support for breast or chest tenderness, heaviness, swelling, post-surgical tightness, scar-related sensitivity or restriction, limited shoulder or chest mobility, and tension related to guarded posture. New or changing symptoms should be medically evaluated first.
Can I receive massage after mastectomy, lumpectomy, or reconstruction?
Possibly, once the area has healed sufficiently and your medical team agrees that massage is appropriate. Timing varies by procedure and individual recovery. We may request medical clearance.
What techniques may be used?
Depending on your needs, a session may include gentle breast or chest-area massage, surrounding muscle and connective-tissue work, light directional techniques to support fluid movement, mobility work or individualized self-care guidance.
Do I need medical clearance?
It depends on your surgery, treatment history, healing stage, symptoms, and medical restrictions. We may request clearance from your surgeon or treating clinician before scheduling hands-on care.
Does insurance cover this service?
Coverage depends on your plan, eligibility, medical necessity, and documentation requirements. Verification is not a guarantee of payment. Please review our Insurance Benefits page and call before scheduling.

Breast Health Massage Therapy is $75 for a 30-minute session. Call or text our office to arrange your appointment.
