Are your hands bothering you? Do you spend too much time at a computer? Try a Do it Yourself Hand Massage. Start by stroking your forearm with the palm of the hand you’re not using. From there, move down to the hand and use your thumb and apply medium to hard pressure to the palm of your hand, flip your hand over and use light to medium pressure to the top of your hand. This process usually sees the most benefit if done for fifteen minutes at a time.

Try these steps for a Do it Yourself Foot Massage! Step 1: Rub the sole of your foot. Use your thumbs to apply pressure, working down to the sole of your foot. It’s recommended that you apply more pressure as you move closer to the sole. Step 2: Massage the toes. Apply a finger to the top of the toe and bottom and work your fingers up and down the toes. Repeat for every toe. Step 3: Apply pressure to your arches. You’ll be able to apply the most pressure by overlapping your thumbs and moving them back and forth over the entire arch. Step 4: Enjoy!

It’s Massage Awareness Week! Did you know massaging helps tremendously for those suffering from TMJ disorders? Releases Muscle Tension in the Jaw and Face
Massage targets the main chewing muscles — masseter, temporalis, and pterygoids — which often become tight or overworked.
By relaxing these muscles:
Jaw movement becomes smoother and less painful
Pressure on the TMJ decreases
Clenching and grinding reduce
Both external (along the jawline and temples) and intraoral (inside the mouth) massage techniques can be used safely by trained therapists.
2. Improves Blood Flow and Reduces Inflammation
Gentle massage increases circulation to the jaw area, bringing oxygen and nutrients that aid healing while flushing out metabolic waste.
This helps reduce inflammation and stiffness in the TMJ capsule and surrounding tissues.
3. Releases Neck and Shoulder Tension
TMJ pain is often linked to tightness in the neck, upper back, and shoulders — particularly the sternocleidomastoid and upper trapezius muscles.
Releasing these related muscles:
Improves head and jaw alignment
Reduces referred pain patterns (e.g., headaches or earaches)
Enhances posture and breathing, decreasing strain on the jaw
4. Calms the Nervous System and Reduces Clenching
TMJ issues are often stress-related. Massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress hormones and helping the jaw “let go.”
Clients frequently notice a decrease in subconscious clenching and better awareness of tension patterns.

5. Supports Long-Term Alignment and Function
Regular massage can:
Improve jaw mobility and range of motion
Decrease recurrence of flare-ups
Complement physiotherapy, dental splints, or posture correction

It’s Massage Awareness Week! Did you know massage is great at combating sleep deprivation?
Massage triggers the parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) response, lowering heart rate and blood pressure while calming the body.
This shift from “fight or flight” to relaxation helps the body enter the ideal physiological state for falling asleep easily and staying asleep longer.
The rhythmic touch of massage stimulates oxytocin, the “bonding” or “feel-good” hormone.
This reduces anxiety and mental chatter — two major causes of insomnia — creating a sense of safety and calm conducive to rest.
Work on your sleep hygiene with a massage!
