Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy is a targeted massage technique that focuses on identifying and releasing “trigger points” — hyperirritable spots in tight bands of muscle fibers that can cause local pain or refer pain to other areas of the body. These points often develop from overuse, injury, stress, or poor posture and can contribute to chronic pain, tension, and restricted movement.
During a trigger point therapy session, direct pressure is applied to these sensitive areas to help release muscle knots, improve circulation, and restore normal muscle function. This technique may produce a deep, achy sensation or temporary discomfort, but it typically leads to noticeable relief and improved range of motion. Trigger point therapy is especially effective for tension headaches, neck and shoulder pain, lower back discomfort, and repetitive strain injuries.
Medical Massage
Medical Massage is a results-focused therapeutic approach designed to address specific health conditions, injuries, or areas of dysfunction diagnosed by a healthcare provider. Unlike a general relaxation massage, medical massage uses targeted techniques—such as deep tissue work, myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, and stretching—to support the body’s healing process, reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function.
Each session is customized based on the client’s condition, such as sciatica, post-surgical recovery, whiplash, repetitive strain injuries, or chronic muscular pain. It often complements other medical treatments and may be part of a broader recovery or rehabilitation plan. Medical massage is goal-oriented and typically focuses on one or two specific areas per session, with consistent progress tracked over time.
TMJ (Temporal Mandibular Joint Dysfunction)
TMJ Massage is a specialized form of bodywork focused on relieving tension and dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)—the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. This joint plays a vital role in speaking, chewing, and facial movement, and dysfunction can lead to symptoms such as jaw pain, clicking or popping, headaches, neck tension, earaches, and even limited jaw movement.
TMJ massage involves gentle, precise techniques applied to the muscles around the jaw, neck, and head. In some cases, intraoral work (performed with a gloved hand inside the mouth) may be used to access deeper jaw muscles like the pterygoids. The goal is to release muscle tightness, improve joint alignment, reduce inflammation, and restore natural movement. TMJ massage is particularly helpful for those with jaw clenching or grinding (bruxism), stress-related tension, or a history of dental or jaw trauma.
Lymphatic Facilitation
A targeted manual therapy that supports the function of the lymphatic system, which is responsible for fluid balance, immune function, and waste removal. Through gentle, precise movements, this technique encourages lymph flow, reduces localized swelling (edema), and assists in the body’s natural detoxification processes. Often recommended following injury, surgery, or periods of illness to promote optimal recovery.
