Physiotherapy for lactation and torticollis focuses on helping both parents and babies feel more comfortable and confident during feeding. For parents, this may include management of mastitis, guidance on breastfeeding positions, and strategies to reduce pain or tension. For babies, care may include assessment and treatment of torticollis, restricted neck movement, or other issues that can impact feeding and overall comfort.
Appointments are individualized, combining hands-on treatment, education, and practical strategies to optimize feeding, support your body, and promote healthy movement for your baby. Our goal is to make each visit informative, empowering, and responsive to your family’s unique needs.
Your appointment is designed to support both you and your baby, with plenty of time to ask questions, talk through feeding concerns, and understand what’s happening in your body and your baby’s movement.
We begin with a thorough history, including feeding patterns, discomfort or pain, baby positioning, and any concerns around movement, head shape, or settling. For parents, this may include discussion of breast or chest symptoms such as tenderness, blocked ducts, or mastitis, as well as education around feeding mechanics and positioning.
Your baby’s assessment focuses on gentle observation and hands-on evaluation of posture, head shape, neck movement, and overall body tension. If torticollis or movement asymmetries are present, treatment may include gentle techniques to support mobility, comfort, and more efficient feeding. Guidance is also provided around positioning, handling, and home strategies to support progress between visits.
Treatment is always adapted to your comfort level and your baby’s cues. Sessions are collaborative and flexible, with the goal of supporting feeding, easing discomfort, and helping both you and your baby feel more at ease.
