Using specialized techniques, we gently work through:
• The jaw and facial muscles to ease tightness and reduce clenching or grinding
• Neck and shoulder muscles that often contribute to jaw tension
• The front of the chest, helping improve posture and alignment that can impact jaw function
• The skull and base of the head to release deep-seated tension and promote relaxation throughout the nervous system

Cupping Treatment (Add -on)
Cupping is a powerful technique that enhances the benefits of both therapeutic and relaxation massage. By gently creating suction on the skin, cupping helps lift and separate the superficial and deep fascial layers of the body. This allows for better access to deeper tissues, making it an excellent complement to deep tissue and sports massage treatments.
Cupping also supports the release of fascial tension, improves blood circulation, and encourages lymphatic flow, helping the body relax, recover, and restore its natural balance.
