TMJD Focus

30 mins··$60

TMJD also known as pain and compromised movement of the jaw joint and the surrounding muscles.
The temporomandibular joint or TMJ acts like a sliding hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. Dysfunction can lead to pain and discomfort.
This affects more people than most would expect. The jaw clenchers and teeth-grinders of the world are numerous, and you may even be one of them! TMJD is often involved with Neck pain, and it can also be a major factor with headaches, including migraines! Many people with TMJD do not realize that their jaw muscles are a source of their symptoms. And if they do, they do not know that their symptoms can often be treated successfully with specific massage techniques!

Myofascial Release

50 mins··$100

Myofascial Release is a whole body approach to treating your body. There is a web of fascia
(connective tissue) that covers your body from head to toe. This web is constantly moving and
changing. Once there has been trauma introduced into the system restrictions occur. The fluid
around the fascial web solidifies and over time pain and limited range of motion follow. This can
be a car accident, a surgery (minor or major), or trips and falls. Whether you are aware of it or
not your body “remembers” the trauma and stores this in the body tissues.
There are three components to this modality of bodywork. First, there is the structural
component where structural imbalances will be assessed and treated. This is where myofascial
work can become quite intense and deep (more pressure is applied to the restricted areas).
Sometimes this is necessary for the body to respond especially if the trauma is an old injury and
you have been dealing with this for a long period of time. Balancing the pelvis and working with
a frozen shoulder are good examples of this.
The second component is rebounding. Rebounding is rocking the body and creating a rhythm
in the body fluids (our bodies are approximately 70% water). The rocking motion is a great
assessment tool for additional restrictions that may not have been discovered in the initial
assessment (prior to your session is an assessment to determine where treatment will begin) as
well as a follow up to the structural work. The session can also end with rebounding as it can
be relaxing, calming and recommended for anyone highly stressed out and needs a way to be
able to relax. Note: if you suffer from motion sickness please make us aware prior to your
session.
The third and last component of myofascial release is unwinding. Unwinding can occur when
you are completely relaxed and have developed trust with your therapist. It involves being able
to let your body move and as your therapist I hold space for you as you unwind. Your body will
spontaneously move during an unwinding. My role during an unwinding is to keep you safe and
to direct you (if needed) to better enhance your session. From personal experience unwinding
can be very freeing and you will be surprised how light and energized you will feel afterwards.
These three components work together and it is the synergy of all three that promote a positive
response in your session. Clients report that they feel lighter and have more energy after a
myofascial release session.

In Ariel's personal life she lives a very athletic lifestyle investing energy in bodybuilding, kayaking, and hiking. She believes in being an example and is quoted saying, "knowledge is power" on the daily.

Richard is an ultramarathon trail runner, and has had to learn much about the body to train and recover properly so that he can continue doing what he loves with little to no stress on his body.

Had a full body deep tissue massage with Pablo, he really focused on the areas I told him I was having issues. I’m going back in a week to get some more work done. Definitely recommend him, guy knows what he’s doing, asks if he’s doing too much pressure or if you need more. Also a great guy to talk too, I’ve had massage where they just do the massage and your done. Some people might like that but I felt right at home at competitors edge.

Pablo did an amazing job. My injured shoulder feels much better!

My experience with Apache was really interesting and informative. I didn’t know my body would move in so many ways. It was fascinating to experience how the slightest (push back) against my muscles would allow them to stretch so much further. I’m especially looking forward to reading my evaluation and starting some suggested exercises/ stretches for areas I need to give attention to.

Pablo is very knowledgeable and made a tremendous difference with my son. A nagging sports ailment has been increasingly better after just one visit. We’ve already returned for a second visit and learned so much.

Richard is amazing at what he does. He's incredibly knowledgeable and has helped me out so much. He great to chat with as well, and he taught me so much about my own body, what what I can do at home to help my pain in between massage sessions. I will definitely be going back.
