Yes, I've send some moms to a physiotherapist to do this and got positive feedback re the plug. I refer moms for this treatment when they have plugs that seem to snug in tightly and harden.

I have a client who is experiencing recurring plugged ducts. She sent me
this info and I'd love to know if any of you wonderful and knowledgable
ladies out there have any experience with this.
Ultrasound: If a blocked duct has not settled within 48 hours
(unusual), therapeutic ultrasound often works. This can be arranged at
a neighbourhood physiotherapy office or sports medicine clinic. Many
ultrasound therapists are not aware of this use for ultrasound. If
two treatments on two consecutive days have not worked, there is no
point in continuing with ultrasound. Get the blocked duct re-evaluated
at the clinic or by your own physician. Usually, however, if
ultrasound is going to work, one treatment is all that is needed.
Ultrasound also seems to prevent recurrent blocked ducts that always
occur in the same part of the breast.
The dose is: 2 watts/cm², continuous, for five minutes to the affected
area, once daily for up to two doses.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
