Massage
BILLABLE TO YOU INSURANCE TMJ massage is a treatment that helps to alleviate tension and pain resulting from TMD (temporomandibular dysfunction). This treatment addresses the muscles acting directly upon the TMJ joint as well as the muscles of the neck which can aggravate this pathology. In conjunction with other modalities, such as dental appliances and physiotherapy, massage can help to improve mandibular range of motion as well as reduce clicking in the TMJ. This treatment can be performed inter-orally with non-latex gloves, or external depending on patient comfort level.
Lymphatic Drainage
BILLABLE TO YOU INSURANCE Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialized massage technique designed to stimulate the body's lymphatic system and encourage the natural movement of excess fluid. Using slow, rhythmic, feather-light pressure, this treatment helps reduce swelling (edema), improve circulation of lymphatic fluid, and support the body's natural detoxification processes. Despite its light touch, MLD is highly effective and many clients notice a visible reduction in swelling and a feeling of lightness after just one session. This 60-minute treatment is ideal for individuals experiencing fluid retention, swelling caused by heat or prolonged standing, post-surgical edema (with medical clearance), or anyone looking to support their overall wellness. Many clients describe sensations of gentle tingling as lymphatic flow improves, leaving them feeling refreshed, lighter, and deeply relaxed. Manual Lymphatic Drainage is both therapeutic and restorative, making it an excellent addition to your self-care routine.
