Massage
External and intraoral massage is an effective treatment for clients who suffer from TMJ dysfunction, trigger point-related headaches or excess jaw tension. During this massage, your therapist will utilize breathwork to start, then will focus on releasing tension in the muscles of the upper back and shoulders, then in the areas of the collarbone, chest and neck to relax all of the areas surrounding and connected to the temporomandibular joint. Latex-free gloves are worn while working inside the mouth to release the muscles and fascia involved in mastication and jaw clenching. This massage specifically addresses the masseter and temporalis muscles, along with the medial and lateral pterygoids, digastric, and the superficial and deep fascia of the anterior neck. If you would like a longer massage and cupping to the shoulders and face as well, please book our 75 Minute TMJ Massage or any 90 MINUTE MASSAGE and our intraoral and buccal massage techniques can be included.
Osteopathy
A dynamic and highly specialised therapy that works with the body’s interconnected systems. Using advanced manual techniques, Karin releases deep restrictions in muscles and fascia to restore alignment, using osteoarticulations, muscle energy techniques, cranio sacral techniques, myofascial release and lymphatic drainage. This treatment is ideal for complex or chronic conditions — addressing not just pain, but the underlying dysfunction that limits your vitality.
