This facial and buccal massage includes intra-oral (buccal) massage techniques and is designed for individuals experiencing temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD), teeth grinding/clenching, facial tension, or tension-related headaches.
Techniques are applied to the muscles and connective tissues of the face, jaw, neck, and scalp, with addition focus on key muscles such as the sternocleidomastoid (SCM), masseter, and temporalis. Buccal (intra-oral) massage is incorporated to access deeper muscles of the cheeks and jaw, providing additional relief from chronic tension and TMJ-related discomfort.
Therapeutic facial massage techniques are combined with hot towels, high-quality facial oil, and instrument-assisted massage tools.
Treatment includes a health history review, assessment, and individualized treatment plan.
Most of the hour is spent on the table while the therapist works through the areas youâve agreed to focus on â pressure, pace and techniques shifting as they go â with a brief check-in before and after so you leave knowing what was worked on.
