CAUSES of Breast Pain

Mastalgia or breast pain is a common part of most women's lives and can range from mild to severe.  Breast tissue goes through numerous shifts and changes over time and most of what is felt is a normal part of the body’s rhythms and cycles.  Most women are surprised to hear that there are ways to naturally relieve the symptoms that they feel from common breast conditions.  In fact breast tissue responds very quickly to treatment and clients can often feel a significant difference after only one session. 

Although 'breast health' is often associated with 'cancer', 90% of cases brought to medical attention are benign.

3 Aggravating Factors

While there are numerous conditions that trigger discomfort, most of the pain that is  experienced is usually caused by 3 aggravating factors:

• Congestion
• Restriction
• Compromised circulation

These can show up as mild to severe discomfort, tenderness, soreness, sensitivity, swelling, or pain.
