Understanding Breast Massage
To Understand Why Breast Massage Is Important And How It Works, We Need To Know A Little
About Breast Anatomy & Physiology…
Intuitive Bodywork Massage Therapy 2014
Breast Anatomy
Intuitive Bodywork Massage Therapy 2014
The breast is a specialized gland that
grows as an appendage of the skin.
It sits on top of the Retromammary Space which sits directly on top of the Pectroralis
Major Muscle.
Intuitive Bodywork Massage Therapy 2014
Between the Lobes and filling out the breast contour is Fat, which is
the major component of the breast.
Individual breast size and shape is somewhat dependent on the amount of fat in the breast.
Intuitive Bodywork Massage Therapy 2014
The functional unit of the breast is a glandular
system of 15 – 20 Lobes that produce and deliver
milk to the nursing infant.
Each Lobe contains 20 – 40 clusters of milk producing
cells called Lobules.

• The lymphatic system bathes every cell in our body, filtering and destroying toxins.
• In the breast, lymph flows from superficial to deep and most lymph exits the breast through the Retromammary Space at the rear of the breast.
The Lymphatic System
Intuitive Bodywork Massage Therapy 2014
Lymph Flow Can Be Restricted Due To:
Engorgement and Swelling
Scar Tissue From Accidents
or Surgeries
Tight Muscles Poor Posture
Intuitive Bodywork Massage Therapy 2014
More Factors That Can Restrict Lymph Flow
Emotional Holding
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and Other Medical
Conditions
Sedentary Lifestyles
Social Mores That Inhibit Breast
Movement
Restrictive Clothing Such As Poorly Fitted Bras Worn for Extended
Periods That Impede Lymph Flow Through the Retromammary Space!
Intuitive Bodywork Massage Therapy 2014
About 75% of lymph drains to the axillary (underarm) nodes. These nodes filter lymph and destroy
undesirable substances.
Most breast cancer cancers occur in the
upper outer quadrant of the breast, the
portion nearest the axilla.
All breast cancer originates in the lining of the milk
ducts.
Intuitive Bodywork Massage Therapy 2014
Lymph movement through the body is largely dependent on muscle contraction and body movement.
Movement of Lymph
Intuitive Bodywork Massage Therapy 2014
Unlike the rest of the body, there is very little muscle
tissue in the breasts, further restricting the flow of lymph.
The natural rebounding action of breasts is the main method of
drainage for breast tissue.
Lymph can become stagnant
in the breast, retaining toxins and inhibiting
proper nutrition to breast tissues.
When lymph cannot move easily, breast
health is compromised.
Intuitive Bodywork Massage Therapy 2014
Lymph Drainage Through The Retromammary Space
Breast Massage is designed to move lymph out the of the breast through the Retrommamary Space
(loose connective tissue that allows the breast to move freely on
the chest) and other channels.
Breast Massage also aids in venous drainage and in bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the
tissues.
