Intraoral Work

Intraoral work involves addressing the muscles and soft tissues of the jaw and air sinuses. These structures play a crucial role in achieving balance within the neck and head.

A typical treatment includes various techniques for the neck, throat, outer jaw, cranium, and within the mouth. The primary objective of this work is to enhance pain-free mobility, relieve sinus congestion, alleviate emotional or muscular tension, and optimize the alignment of the jaw, neck, and head.

This treatment is especially beneficial for people of all ages undergoing significant dental procedures, suffering from chronic headaches, sinus issues, whiplash, or digestive issues.

To create a more integrative approach to healing, I often incorporate Soma Structural Integration, myofascial balancing, and other modalities alongside the intraoral work.
