A productive and successful morning helping two clients with jaw and neck pain.

My first client arrived with a migraine, which had significantly reduced by the end of the treatment. I worked on her shoulders, neck, scalp and face using massage, trigger point therapy and acupressure - finishing with myofascial release of the jaw using intra-oral techniques.

Both ice and heat have their place in TMJ management. Alternating between them can help prevent the development of chronic TMJ disorders and promote quicker recovery.

❄️ICE THERAPY

● Reduces inflammation - Constricts blood vessels, slows circulation, and decreases swelling.

● Limits joint fluid - Lowers synovial fluid production, easing pressure, and pain.

● Numbs pain - Dulls nerve activity, interrupting pain signals sent to the brain.

♡ Apply ice to the affected area surrounding the jaw for 15-20 minutes, up to six times a day for 24-48 hours following the injury/flare up.

🔥HEAT THERAPY

● Increases circulation - Heat dilates blood vessels delivering oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells to the area.

● Clears metabolic waste - Heat supports the removal of accumulated waste, reducing muscle pain and spasms.

● Encourages lymphatic drainage, sending waste out into the lymphatic system.

● pain relief and Improved flexibility - Helps relax tight jaw muscles and improves range of movement.

♡ Apply heat for 15-20 minutes, 1-3 times a day for muscle relaxation when swelling has minimised.

When used correctly, ice and heat help reduce pain, calm muscle and tissue irritation, and support a return to normal jaw function.

Ever feel like you want to scream?!

Where do all our emotions go when we are unable to express them?

Feelings from unresolved issues such as unmet needs, unspoken words, and previous traumas all get stored in the jaw, manifesting as physical tension.

Our jaw tightens when we suppress emotions and refrain from saying what we want to say. This happens because it is controlled by the trigeminal nerve, which acts as a sensory gateway to our survival responses. The nervous system responds to our emotional state based on previous experiences, and when it is activated by emotional stress, it can lead to tension around the jaw.

As our jaws are connected to our hips, our pelvic area is also associated with suppressed emotions. These two points have been referred to as the garbage points of the body, for it is where feelings such as fear, sadness, and anger hide away.

So if you've ever found yourself tearful after receiving a TMJ treatment and wondered why; it is a sign that the body is releasing held emotions.

I just me a client of mine in the street. She asked me what happened to my hair? I told her I've just had my head squeezed. 'That's what you do to us' She said.

Today, it's my turn. I was lost in my dreams last night and must have been clenching hard as today I have a tension headache. I've just been for a head and face massage which really helped relieve the tension surrounding the TMJ. Now, I'm finishing it off with some intra-oral techniques to release the muscles inside of the jaw. SOOOO satisfying!

Feeling better already 😌

Facial Massage is one of my favourite treatments for all the amazing benefits it has to make you look and feel good!

I combined techniques from trainings in Indian Head Massage, Facial Rejuvenation/Natural FaceLift, Facegym and TMJ Dysfunction to offer bespoke treatments for YOU.

My treatments are tailored to suit individual needs and include Japanese and Indian massage techniques, acupressure, lymphatic drainage, and myofascial release of the jaw. Designed to stimulate, sculpt, tone, and lift the facial muscles, my treatments are also guaranteed to melt and release tension in the scalp, neck, and top of shoulders, encouraging further relaxation.

You can find me at Healing Space Hackney on Chatsworth Road E5 on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Here I am after receiving a Qi energy treatment at the warm and welcoming Sun Kyeong Centre near Oxford Circus. I was in need of a battery recharge and I left feeling light, clear-headed, and grounded.

September is always a busy month for most, and if it has left you in need of some rejuvenation (like I was today!) I can recommend the Energy and Wellbeing Workshop in CHISLEHURST this Saturday 12 Oct 3-6pm

Our busy lives often deplete our Qi Energy (our universal source energy) and create energy blockages in our system. These energy blockages can often be the source of our mental and physical problems.

As part of this workshop theee will be a talk and Q&A with Qi Practitioner, Claudia Dumos, and a Qi Energy Movement class and sound meditation so we can directly experience the powerful vibration of Qi (Universal Vibration).

Learn what blocks our energy flow and how to recharge and get it moving again.

*Receiving Qi Energy can help*:
- Alleviate pain and tension
- Increase your energy levels and bring balance within
- Release stress, anxiety and negative emotions
- Create clarity and calm

3-6pm at Deva Yoga Chislehurst, Belmont Parade, 12 Green Ln, Chislehurst BR7 6AN

Cost: £20 (£10 off with Claire Sands)
