Massage Therapy fo TMJ Disorder, Tension Headaches & Anxiety
​
​Facial tension, headaches, neck/shoulder pain and clicking in your jaw are all signs of possible TMJ disorder. Melissa Zubel, RMT is trained to help alleviate your symptoms and leave your treatment feeling lighter; more grounded and with decreased pain.
The TMJ treatment focuses on the head, neck, chest and face. Thermotherapy is introduced with hot and cold stones to relax muscles and decrease inflammation, cupping on the face/chest for lymphatic drainage and to help decrease fascial restrictions. Acupressure points on the face are released and an intra-oral massage (with gloved hand) can be introduced to significantly decrease trigger points and pain in jaw muscles. If you are uncomfortable with an intra-oral massage, Melissa can teach you the techniques so you can perform them on yourself as homecare.  As with all massages, this treatment will be tailored to your specific needs so you can enjoy the benefits of decreased pain and tension.
Warm Bamboo Massage
​
This is a beautiful combination of various sized heated bamboo tools incorporated with deep tissue massage. In this unique treatment, your Registered Massage Therapist uses warm bamboo/rattan canes that are gently rolled, kneaded and glided over the body in a rhythmic motion, melting away muscular tension, increasing circulation and aiding in lymphatic drainage. The bamboo provides a balancing and harmonizing effect, leaving you in an extreme state of relaxation. This massage can be tailored to your needs, providing either a relaxation or therapeutic application or combine the two for an ultimate experience.
