The Oketani Method is based upon practical breastfeeding theory, but is original in its practice. Oketani breast massage improves breastmilk secretion, can prevent and treat problems such as mastitis. In addition, the massage is painless, allowing your body to relax and breathe, something very much appreciated by mothers. The Oketani breast massage consists of massaging and milking the base of the breasts. These delicate glands are massaged as well as protected.
