What is Breast Mapping?
- A 1 hour Wholistic Therapy Session which includes: Gentle massage and lymphatic drainage techniques to the breast tissue using special draping of the breast, and a specifically designed examination aid to insure prudence and privacy.
- Deliberate attention is focused on palpation of the Breast-tissue. The intention is to acknowledge both the natural geography of the breast such as fibro-cystic tissue ect.., as well-as any unusual formations or sensations (even formations as small s a grain of rice or barley may be detected); and a Mapping (the preparing of a written diagram of the assessment) which will be kept on record, and a personal copy to be compared in future sessions or for self-care.
- Palpation is used by various therapists such as doctors, chiropractors, osteopaths, physical therapists, and massage therapist to assess the texture of a patient's tissue (such as swelling or muscle tone), to locate the spatial coordinates of particular anatomical landmarks (e.g., to assess range and quality of joint motion), and assess tenderness through tissue deformation (e.g. provoking pain with pressure or stretching). In summary, palpation might be used either to determine painful areas and to qualify pain felt by patients, or to locate three-dimensional coordinates of anatomical landmarks to quantify some aspects of the palpated subject. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palpation
- Gynecologist generally perform a breast exam fairly briefly, and most women themselves are for some reason not performing this important procedure on themselves. Our partners are also not the likely ones to realize any changes, as their breast palpation has a much different focus. I know because I am one of the many women who would rather have someone else do it for me. (I guess it is a mental block to feeling something).
- This will be the most relaxing & re-assure wholistic/medical care you will receive. With comforting & soothing music, you will be encouraged to relax, and should we discover anything you many be concerned about, you will have a mapping and re-assuring comfort as I can provide. Breast-care should not be a dreaded experience, but rather a liberating one. I believe that no one should know more about you, than you know about yourself. I will help you gain that knowledge, and take the worry out of this important practice.
- Breast Mapping is not intended to Diagnosis any conditions, but rather to be used as a tool for self-awareness, prevention, introduction to complimentary health care, and to bridge a communication gap existing between some patients and their Primary Physician/GYN, un-intentional as it may be. Knowledge is power!
