TMJ (temporomandibular joint) release to relieve jaw pain and discomfort
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull, playing a critical role in activities like speaking, chewing, and yawning. TMJ disorders can result in pain, jaw dysfunction, and even contribute to neck and shoulder tension.
If you experience discomfort related to TMJ disorders, our TMJ release therapy offers a targeted and effective solution. This approach focuses on relieving tension in the jaw and surrounding muscles, addressing root causes such as teeth grinding (bruxism), poor posture, or stress-induced clenching. TMJ release therapy involves gentle manipulation and massage techniques to restore proper alignment, improve jaw mobility, and ease muscle tension.
Clients often report additional benefits beyond jaw pain relief. By releasing tight muscles, this therapy can alleviate associated headaches, neck stiffness, and even reduce snoring. Enhanced jaw alignment and muscle relaxation can also contribute to better posture and overall comfort.
We understand that each case is unique. Our sessions are designed to address your specific symptoms, ensuring a personalised treatment plan that works for you.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Targeting chronic pain and muscle tension
For clients dealing with chronic aches, pains, or areas of intense tension, our deep tissue massage is an effective solution. This technique focuses on the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue, often used to address stiff necks, lower back pain, and sore shoulders.
Deep tissue massage is particularly beneficial for those suffering from long-term tension or injuries. By breaking down adhesions and working through layers of muscle tissue, this massage promotes healing, enhances mobility, and relieves discomfort. Our therapist at Align Osteopaths takes care to tailor each deep tissue session to ensure it targets your specific areas of concern.
Relieving tension in the connective tissues
Our myofascial release technique is designed to relieve tension in the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds and supports your muscles. When fascia becomes tight, it can lead to pain, reduced mobility, and even postural issues. Myofascial release focuses on gently manipulating this tissue to restore balance and flexibility throughout the body.
This technique is particularly effective for clients experiencing chronic pain or limited mobility. By targeting the fascia, we help improve overall function, relieve tension, and enhance your body’s ability to move freely and comfortably.

TRIGGER POINT THERAPY
Relieving pain at its source
Trigger point therapy focuses on releasing tight knots in the muscle, known as trigger points, which can cause localised discomfort or referred pain to other areas of the body.
This targeted approach is ideal for clients experiencing chronic pain, tension headaches, or stiffness from overuse or injury.By applying focused pressure to these points, our therapist at Align Osteopaths helps to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve muscle function, tailoring each session to meet your individual needs.
Enhancing movement and restoring balance
Functional massage focuses on improving mobility, addressing muscle imbalances, and relieving pain caused by dysfunction or overuse. By combining techniques like deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and assisted stretching, this approach targets both the source of discomfort and its underlying causes.
This form of massage takes a clinical approach to tension, and our therapists will tailor each session to help you move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free.
Optimising performance and recovery
For athletes and active individuals, our sports massage service is designed to improve performance, prevent injuries, and aid in recovery. Whether you're preparing for an event or recovering from a workout, sports massage targets the muscles and areas most affected by physical activity.
This massage helps to improve circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and enhance flexibility, allowing you to perform at your best. At Align Osteopaths, we understand the unique demands of an active lifestyle, and we’re here to support your physical health with tailored sports massage treatments.
