TEMPORALIS MUSCLE WORK AT ALLCHRISTIE MASSAGE SANDY UTAH

TEMPORALIS MUSCLE WORK AT ALLCHRISTIE MASSAGE SANDY UTAH

The Temporalis is located near the temple of your forehead and continues backwards towards the Occipital bone. The Temporalis is a large, scallop shaped muscle covering the side of the head, just above and behind the ear ranging almost to the eye socket. It is a common cause of headaches. Getting rid of headaches is a specialty of the Allchristie Massage Spa.

The Temporalis attaches to the mandible (jaw bone) and can cause problems with pain in the jaw due to it being too tight or stressed. Clients have suggested I hear the ‘click’ of the bone attachment by forcing their jaw sideways. Due to the Temporalis position surrounding several areas, its tightness may relate to molar teeth, eye brow pain, and check discomfort.

To work this muscle, the client lies supine (face up) on the table. Using cross-fiber stroking with the thumbs, from top to bottom, will release the pain in the Temporalis muscle. By moving the thumbs over the whole muscle, starting near the eye socket above the eyebrows, and continuing towards the back of the head a release is forthcoming. Note: This press and sliding apart action, depending on the size of the head, usually about one-to-two inches vertically, begins the muscle relaxation. Allchristie Massage works to relieve your uncomfortable pressure.

The therapist will continue the friction over the entire muscle until it is completely worked. A slight firm pressure also relieves the tightness. Check with the client to obtain the correct amount of pressure to prevent further pain. Even though the muscle is rather small, it will take time to relax it. Due to its location, the Temporalis muscle gets a lot of work, including talking, chewing, yawning, and even smiling. Allchristie Massage desires to keep you smiling without pain.

Aroma therapy can also be used to relax the client, while working on the Temporalis muscle. Adding soft relaxing music is also a benefit. Always ask the client, “What kind of music would you like to hear while you are on the table?” Allchristie Massage Spa has a variety of relaxing mood music available.

NECK PAIN - STERNOCLEIDOMASTOID

NECK PAIN - STERNOCLEIDOMASTOID

Neck pain can affect your every mood. At Allchristie Massage in Sandy Utah, the therapist listens to you and seeks therapy that will relieve or remove your pain. You may be having pain over the eye, on the top of your head or forehead, behind the ear, or along the neck or shoulder. This muscle stabilizes turning and flexing of the head and neck and maintains posture. Trigger Points (a future Post) are commonly found in this area and may be the cause of headache pain. One head (or part of this muscle) attaches to the clavicle - which lies in the front of your body (below your neck) while the other end attaches to the nuchal line (mastoid process) advancing to the occipital area.

At Allchristie Massage in Sandy, Utah the therapist will palpate the SCM (Sternodleidomastoid) by turning the head from side to side, assessing any tightness or trigger points. The therapist will lift the head slightly while striping (pressing on the muscle) as you have your head turned sideways, all the while checking with you as to how high your level of pain is, during the therapy.

If this sounds painful, remember the therapist is trained and licensed to assist in relieving your pain in this and others areas of the body. At Allchristie Massage in Sandy, Utah the therapist works cautiously for your relief. Allchristie wants you to feel no pain after the therapy and to return back for additional massages often. A great relaxing massage monthly will help the body not to tighten up from stress that causes many painful muscles. Of course your own injuries are handled professionally different and may require additional appointments.

MIGRAINE RELIEF

My client yesterday evening had a bad Migraine headache. He had resigned himself to bed. Of course, his wife made the appointment. I've had great success with Migraine headache release. I found his shoulders were as hard as rock, his face was grimacing in pain, and the light blinded his eyes. I started work on his shoulders, spine, trapezius, head and neck. The knots seemed reluctant to disappear. About half-way through the session he began to relax. I worked 4 meridians, 7 nerve areas, the occipitals, scalenes, rhomboids, SCM, applied trigger-points, and massaged his scalp and head. Treatment of these various areas brought relief.His face showed a smile again, his painful headache disappeared.
