Orthopedic Massage Therapy is a specific treatment and multidisciplinary approach to relieve pain caused by dysfunctional joints and injuries. It focuses on the soft tissue surrounding the joints that create movement or limit its range. It is more specific than other massage therapies as it involves advanced and more effective techniques.

Silvia will start by releasing the muscles in the upper back and shoulders with heat and cupping. She will also work through your collar bone, chest, and neck to help relax all of the areas surrounding and connected to the temporomandibular joint.

There are two main methods to a TMJ massage, the first being extra-orally, or outside of the mouth. When working outside, Silvia will focus on your chewing muscles around the face.

The second method is intra-orally, or in the mouth. Prior to beginning intra-oral massage, Silvia will put on a pair of gloves.
Treatments are usually weekly for 4 weeks then regular maintenance.
