TMJ Treatment
Specialized treatment for temporomandibular joint disorders using intraoral massage and Fascial Counterstrain techniques. Addresses muscle tension, nerve irritation, and joint disc issues contributing to jaw pain. Combines neck and shoulder treatment to resolve interconnected dysfunction while preventing future symptoms through patient education.
Fascial Counterstrain
Advanced technique targeting deep connective tissues to normalize muscle tone and release protective spasms. Uses gentle positioning to mechanically unload injured structures, reducing pain signals transmitted through reflex arcs. Effective for chronic conditions where tissue strain has caused persistent discomfort and restricted mobility.
Sports Injury Recovery
Customized treatment plans for sports-related musculoskeletal injuries. Focuses on restoring range of motion, reducing inflammation, and accelerating healing through targeted soft tissue manipulation. Addresses both acute injuries and chronic overuse conditions like tendonitis to improve athletic performance and prevent recurring issues.
