Intra-oral massage
Deep relaxation, lifted cheeks and cheekbones
Presentation
This specialised treatment works directly on deep-seated muscular tension in the face, particularly in the jaw, cheeks, and area around the mouth. The massage is performed intraorally, using gloves, with complete respect for your comfort and pace.
It is particularly effective for releasing chronic tension related to stress, bruxism, emotional fatigue, or restricted facial movement. The deep relaxation frequently extends downwards into the shoulders and chest.
While not a substitute for medical care, it can be an excellent complementary treatment for persistent facial tension or widespread muscular discomfort.
🔹 Indications
- Bruxism, clenched jaw muscles, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort
- Deep muscular tension in cheeks, lips, and mouth area
- Facial tightness following emotional stress or trauma
- Facial fatigue or limited facial expression
- Desire for deep muscular relaxation of the face
✨ Benefits include
- A lasting feeling of deep relaxation
- Freer facial expression and greater ease of movement
- Relaxation extending into shoulders and upper chest
- Reduced headache pains
- Helps lift the volumes of the contour and of the cheekbones area
🔬 Scientific background
Studies demonstrate that manual intra-oral therapy significantly reduces TMJ pain, enhances mandibular mobility, and alleviates myofascial tension (Wijer et al., 1996). Slow, structured manual touch also activates the body’s neurohormonal relaxation responses (Field, 2014).
