If you’re wondering “Why are my boobs sore?”, this post will help you learn about the common causes & ways to get relief.

Fact~

If you talk to the women in your life you’ll quickly discover that you are not alone when it comes to sore or tender breasts. Most of us have experienced breast pain at some point or another.

Some have regular tenderness while for others it comes and goes at different times. And for those lucky few who have never experienced soreness in this area, there may come a time when this becomes an issue for you too.

Mastalgia or breast pain shows up as mild discomfort, tenderness, soreness, sensitivity, or swelling, and is a very common part of most women’s lives. Our breasts go through numerous shifts and changes during our lifetime and most of what we feel is a normal part of our body’s rhythms and cycles. While there are numerous conditions that trigger discomfort, most of the pain we experience is usually caused by 3 aggravating factors:

• Congestion

• Restriction

• Compromised circulation
  

Quality of life~

Speaking about our breasts is still quite taboo in our culture and most women believe that sore breasts are just part of being a female like having menstrual cramps. We take notice of it and get on with our lives even though we feel uncomfortable whenever they are touched or we are in motion.

In the shower, when we exercise, during sex, while getting dressed, and during the myriad of other activities we enjoy doing, breast pain can reduce our quality of life and for some women the discomfort can be quite severe.

Additionally, when our breasts are surgically treated for cosmetic, diagnostic, or medical purposes we often don’t know how to manage the symptoms post-surgically. Women can have numerous issues in this region as they recover and integrate the physical changes they have gone through.

As a Massage Therapist who specializes in breast health issues, I have treated a wide spectrum of conditions over the years. Regardless of the breast condition, when the tissue is treated and circulation improves, pain either reduces or is completely eliminated.

Most of the women that I work with are initially surprised to hear that there are ways to relieve this discomfort naturally. In fact breast tissue responds very quickly to some simple basic TLC that can be done at home on a regular basis.
