A focused maintenance session targeting your primary areas of tension. Ideal for ongoing care after your initial assessment, this session concentrates on the jaw, neck, and key contributing muscles based on your current presentation. Treatment is efficient and targeted to maintain progress, reduce flare-ups, and support jaw mobility and relaxation. Best for clients with stable symptoms or those maintaining results between longer sessions.

A balanced follow-up session that allows time for both assessment updates and hands-on treatment. We reassess current symptoms, jaw function, and contributing tension patterns before focusing treatment on the temporomandibular joint, neck, and surrounding musculature. This session supports gradual change while still allowing depth and adjustment based on how your body is responding. Ideal for most returning TMJD clients.

A deeper follow-up session for clients needing extended work or experiencing fluctuating symptoms. This appointment allows more time for reassessment and layered treatment of the jaw, neck, face, and related postural patterns. It’s ideal when symptoms are more complex, when flare-ups occur, or when you benefit from slower, more integrated work. Best for ongoing or moderate-to-complex TMJD presentations.

An in-depth maintenance session for complex or chronic TMJD cases. This extended treatment allows for a full reassessment and comprehensive hands-on work addressing the jaw, cervical spine, facial tension, and contributing postural patterns. It supports deeper nervous system down-regulation and more sustained relief for clients with persistent or multi-layered symptoms. Ideal for chronic TMJD, high tension patterns, or clients who respond best to longer, more integrative sessions.

A focused introduction to TMJD care designed to assess your jaw, neck, and surrounding musculature while beginning targeted treatment. This session includes a detailed intake specific to jaw dysfunction, posture, and symptom patterns (such as clenching, headaches, facial tension, and neck discomfort). We explore contributing factors and assess range of motion, tension patterns, and structural imbalances. Treatment includes hands-on manual therapy for the jaw (TMJ), head, neck, and upper shoulders, with techniques tailored to your presentation. You may also receive gentle intraoral work if appropriate and consented to, along with at-home recommendations to support progress. Ideal for new clients experiencing jaw pain, clenching/grinding, tension headaches, or facial tightness.

A comprehensive initial session for clients with more complex or chronic TMJD symptoms. This extended appointment allows for a deeper assessment of jaw function, posture, and contributing patterns throughout the neck, shoulders, and upper body. We take time to understand your symptom history, triggers, and daily habits that may be influencing your jaw tension. Treatment includes detailed manual therapy focused on the temporomandibular joint, cervical spine, facial musculature, and related tension chains. This session allows for a slower, more thorough approach and may include intraoral techniques if appropriate and consented to. Best suited for chronic TMJD, long-standing tension patterns, or clients who want a more in- depth first session with extra treatment time.
