Experience Renewal and Relaxation with our Treatments

Therapeutic massage therapy involves manipulating the body's soft tissues to enhance health and well-being, targeting specific musculoskeletal conditions like chronic pain, restricted mobility, and post-injury recovery. This approach utilizes a combination of gentle and firmer pressure techniques.

Relaxation massage is a gentle and soothing form of massage therapy designed primarily to promote relaxation and stress relief, encouraging a sense of overall well-being. The focus is on providing a calming experience rather than addressing specific musculoskeletal issues, utilizing lighter to medium pressure techniques. 

Deep tissue massage concentrates on reaching the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues within the body. Its primary objective is to alleviate chronic tension, muscle stiffness, and the formation of adhesions (painful, rigid tissue bands) caused by factors like overuse, injury, or poor posture. This form of massage applies firmer pressure and more focused techniques.

At Natural Elements Massage & Wellness, we recommend speaking to your massage therapist prior to each treatment to determine the most appropriate type of massage to attain personalized and desired results. 

TMJ massage focuses on relieving tension and pain in the jaw, face, and neck areas. Here are some common goals and techniques:

   1. Relaxing Jaw Muscles: The massage therapist uses gentle, targeted techniques (both inside and outside of the mouth) to relax the muscles around the jaw, reducing tension and promoting better jaw function.

   2. Releasing Trigger Points: Trigger points or knots in the muscles of the jaw and neck can contribute to TMJ pain. Massage therapists work to release these points to alleviate discomfort and headaches.

   3.Enhancing Range of Motion: By working on the jaw's mobility, TMJ massage can help improve the ability to open and close the mouth comfortably making chewing, talking and yawning easier. 

If you are experiencing chronic or severe TMJ issues, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a dentist who specializes in TMJ disorders for a comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan. TMJ massage can be a complementary therapy to other treatments prescribed by healthcare providers to manage TMJ-related pain and discomfort. 

During a myofascial cupping massage session, silicone cups are used to create a suction that separates fascial layers (fascia is the connective tissue that wraps around and supports all organs, nerve fibers, bones, and muscles in the body). Cupping increasing blood flow to the area being treated. The therapist may use the cups in a static position to target specific muscle groups and joints, or incorporate more dynamic movements and gliding strokes to release tension and increase mobility.

It's important to note that myofascial cupping may not be suitable for everyone. It's always best to talk to your massage therapist beforehand to determine if this treatment is right for you.
