Headache, neck & jaw manual therapy

Targeted Manual Therapy for Head, Neck & Jaw Tension

Persistent tension around the neck, shoulders, jaw and head can affect comfort, movement and everyday wellbeing. It may be associated with prolonged sitting, stress, postural strain, muscle overuse, jaw clenching or restricted movement.
Our Headache, Neck & Jaw Manual Therapy session uses a personalized hands-on approach to address muscular tension and mobility restrictions affecting these interconnected areas.
Rather than following a standard massage routine, the session begins by identifying your main areas of tension and movement restriction so the treatment can be adapted to your individual needs.

What we focus on

Treatment may include targeted work around the:

Neck and cervical muscles

Upper back

Upper shoulders and trapezius

Jaw and TMJ-related muscles

Base of the skull and suboccipital muscles

Facial and temporal muscles

Surrounding soft tissues and fascia

Our approach

Assessment

We begin by discussing your symptoms, lifestyle and areas of discomfort, followed by an assessment of relevant movement and muscular tension.

Targeted Manual Therapy

Hands-on techniques are selected according to the findings of your assessment and may include soft-tissue techniques, myofascial release, trigger-point work and gentle joint or mobility techniques when appropriate.

Personalized Treatment

Pressure, techniques and treatment areas are adapted to your comfort and individual needs throughout the session.

Guidance

When appropriate, simple mobility, posture or self-care recommendations may be provided to help manage recurring tension between sessions.

Who may benefit?

A more personalized approach to recovery

The head, jaw, neck and shoulders work closely together. Tension or restricted movement in one area can influence how the surrounding areas feel and function.

That’s why Corpus Wellness takes a connected, whole-area approach rather than focusing only on the location where discomfort is felt.

The goal is to reduce muscular tension, support comfortable movement and help you better understand the factors that may be contributing to recurring physical stress.

After your session

Depending on your individual needs, you may receive simple recommendations to support your progress between appointments.
These may include:

Frequently asked questions

No. This is a personalized manual therapy session based on your symptoms, movement and areas of muscular tension rather than a fixed massage sequence.

When appropriate, treatment may include external manual techniques around the jaw, TMJ and related muscles. The approach is adapted to your comfort and individual presentation.

Some headaches can be associated with muscular tension or structures around the neck and head. Manual therapy may be appropriate for certain tension-related presentations, but headaches can have many different causes and should be medically evaluated when necessary.

This varies from person to person. Your response to the first session, the duration of your symptoms and your individual findings help determine whether additional sessions may be beneficial.

Sessions can be tailored according to your needs and the areas requiring treatment.
