TMJ / Sinus / Cranial

TMJ Therapy

The TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) acts as a vital connection between your mandible and the temporal bone of your skull, forming your jaw joint.  Problems with the TMJ can be both acute and chronic in nature, are often painful and can be very debilitating for the individual suffering with TMJ dysfunction.  This intricate joint plays a vital part in essential daily activities like breathing, eating, drinking, and speaking. Understanding the complexity and importance of the TMJ can help us appreciate the need for specialised care when addressing any issues related to this crucial joint.

Cranial Therapy

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, non-invasive and hands-on treatment that may provide relief from pain.  It uses gentle pressure on the head, neck, and back to relieve the stress and pain caused by compression. It’s thought that through the gentle manipulation of the bones in the skull, spine, and pelvis, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the central nervous system can be normalized. This removes “blockages” from the normal flow, which enhances the body’s ability to heal.  The body tells the therapist what needs to be done.  A pulse through the fluids proceeds through the entire craniosacral system, like a tidal wave, from the sutures in the skull to the spinal cord.
