We help people with persistent pain and stress feel better in their bodies. We often treat stress-related issues, TMJD, headaches, low back pain, soft tissue injuries, whiplash, and posture-related issues. Treatments blend appropriate techniques into a personalized treatment approach.

Massage Techniques:

• Intraoral massage and self-massage education (TMJD related care)
  - relief for those with jaw tension, clenching, grinding, headaches, and persistent upper body and neck tension. gentle techniques are applied inside the mouth to the muscles of the jaw with a gloved hand, and home-care self-massage may be instructed.

• Active Release Technique (ART) - effective tension relief through guided muscle activation with resistance. also called contract-release techniques.

• Myofascial Release (MFR) - slow, unwinding techniques for tension, pain and posture-related relief.

• Craniosacral Therapy (CST) - soothing, decompressive treatment applied over the sheet and to the head and face, can be used as an focussed treatment or incorporated with other techniques.

• Shiatsu - combines rocking, joint mobilization, stretching, compression and acupressure to stimulate relaxation and shifts of tension and ease throughout the body. client’s feel both energized and relaxed after.

• Cupping Therapy - silicone cupping (moving and static) is used to support a feeling of decompression, increase body awareness and improve local circulation.

• Gua Sha - improves local circulation, often used at the beginning of treatment to warm up an area and relax the body. may feel like a “whole body back scratch.”
