INSPIRATION & EDUCATION

In my practice, I treat women with headaches, migraines, ear pain, eye pain, jaw pain, throat tension, dizziness, and a variety of pain patterns in the face, neck, and head. For some women, even at that very first appointment, when they learn about trigger points, the mystery of the anatomy, how the breath affects their necks, and what else creates the symptoms that they have, they find relief. Most of these women have undergone many types of appointments, tests, and even MRI

In my practice, I have seen this manifest in many ways. For instance, I treated a woman who was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. She had intense face and ear pain (see ear below) and had been to the emergency room many times. She could not drive because of the medication. She was working with her naturopath, chiropractor, ENT, and others. She had taken rounds of antibiotics. What was missing was soft tissue manipulation of the neck muscles—so simple!

Soft tissue imbalances of the jaw are extremely common. And whereas the solutions to jaw symptoms are often not that complicated, in the current culture, finding the solutions is often quite hard. Manual massage therapy of the jaw and neck eases conditions such as TMJ pain, clicking and popping, grinding, ear pain and ear fullness, headaches, migraines, pain under the chin and on the anterior neck, cervical dysfunction, and a loss of range of motion of the jaw and neck.
