Headache & TMJ Massage

Description

A headache and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) massage performed by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) typically involves a combination of techniques aimed at relieving tension and pain in the head, neck, and jaw areas. Here’s what it might include: Initial Assessment: The RMT will start by assessing your symptoms, medical history, and any specific areas of discomfort. Relaxation Techniques: Gentle strokes and light pressure are used to relax the muscles and prepare the body for deeper work. Targeted Massage: The therapist will focus on the muscles around the jaw, neck, and head, using techniques like deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release to alleviate tension and improve mobility. TMJ Focus: Special attention is given to the temporomandibular joint, using gentle manipulations and stretches to relieve pain and improve function.
