Book for a 60 min massage visit if you have been to the clinic before for an initial massage

Book for your first visit to the clinic for massage. Includes health history, assessment and treatment. *Note that hands-on treatment may end up shorter on this first visit depending on how long it takes to move through health history and assessment. Massage therapy can be used for preventative care, postural dysfunction and acute/chronic pain issues. Massage can help facilitate healing of injured tissue. Benefits include: decreasing pain and restriction, lowering stress, enhancing function, increasing circulation and overall mobility, facilitating an increase in lymphatic drainage.

45 minute initial massage for a child 0-16 years old. Includes health history and massage. Paediatric massage is typically slightly shorter than adult treatment. Therapy is geared toward the reason for treatment as well as what the child can manage and is open to. This may mean ending an appointment early if that's what is in the best interests of the child/their muscle tissue.

Book this appointment if you have already had your TMJ assessed by your massage therapist and are returning for a follow-up treatment.
