What the session includes
In a 45-minute session the therapist combines targeted TMJ work with professional facial lymphatic drainage. Treatment concentrates on the masseter and nearby jaw muscles to ease tightness from grinding, while gentle lymphatic techniques move fluid away from under-eye and cheek areas. The approach balances pressure and light rhythmic strokes to release tension without overstimulating sensitive facial tissues.
Before starting the therapist will ask about your jaw history, teeth clenching, and current sensitivity to tailor pressure. The treatment is presented as a 45 MINUTES session and priced at $95. Clients lie comfortably while the therapist alternates focused jaw work and light lymphatic strokes, checking pressure and comfort throughout to prevent soreness.
How it relieves tension
Targeted pressure on the masseter and surrounding muscles can release built-up tightness from grinding and daily clenching. Combined lymphatic work helps reduce facial puffiness, improving the feel of the jaw and cheeks without invasive procedures. Fair Oaks clients often seek this work before May events or during November–December holiday stress when cold weather and late-year tension increase jaw discomfort.
Many clients notice softer tension and reduced puffiness after a session; some report easier sleep when jaw pain eases. Results vary and are not guaranteed. Mild transient tenderness or increased awareness of muscle release can occur for 24–48 hours. Therapists adjust pressure to each client's feedback to minimize discomfort and maximize immediate comfort.
When to schedule treatments
Book ahead during our busiest months—May, November and December—when clients prepare for weddings or battle holiday jaw clenching and puffiness. Fair Oaks location near Sunrise Blvd and Highway 50 makes early-morning weekday or weekend appointments convenient for commuters, families, and retirees. Appointments fill quickly around local events like the Fair Oaks Village Farmers Market and seasonal festivals.
A single 45 MINUTES session can provide immediate relief and cosmetic depuffing; follow-up frequency depends on symptoms and lifestyle. Therapists will recommend timing after an initial visit—often a short series for chronic clenching or as occasional maintenance around busy months. We accommodate last-minute bookings when possible.
