Cranial TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Therapeutic Massage
As some of you know I worked as a holistic facialist for many years; I have a deep love for this work and have wanted to bridge this into therapeutic massage. After much request, I am pleased to be offering a more focused treatment for structures of the cranium, including the neck, face, cranial fascia in it’s synergy with the temporomandibular joint. The jaw commonly stores stress and plays an important role in relationship to myo-mechanical functions of the upper thoracic, cervical spine, cranium and the pelvis. Benefits include improved joint function, increased blood flow, reduced pain, and reduced muscular and fascial restrictions.
This treatment is also restorative and deeply settles the nervous system. Treatment may also include the precise and integral work of addressing the musculature inside the mouth; this is a gentle yet therapeutic process. Included in the treatment is the use of hot and cold therapy, and Gua Sha where indicated. No facial products are used, with the exception of a minimal amount of organic coconut oil for glide.
Bookings are available on our online Apple Tree Orchard booking platform. All massage treatments that I offer are tailored individually, cranial or TMJ treatments can be requested at any time, however focused treatments offer an extended benefit.
