Therapy that aims to support your goals!
WHAT IS OROFACIAL MASSAGE THERAPY?
Orofacial massage therapy is a highly specialized form of therapy that places a strong emphasis on the rehabilitation and comprehensive care of the entire orofacial complex, encompassing the mouth, jaws, face, and neck. This therapy involves the integration of various multispecialty services tailored to address not only weaknesses, tightness, and dysfunctions within the orofacial region but also to enhance overall orofacial health and well-being.
Through the utilization of a diverse range of techniques, including but not limited to manual lymphatic drainage, scar tissue release, and craniosacral therapy, orofacial massage therapy at Allimeden creates personalized treatment plans that are designed to promote strength, improve functionality, and boost the overall health of their patients. By blending these techniques seamlessly and leveraging a profound understanding of orofacial health, the holistic approach offered by orofacial massage therapy ensures that orofacial concerns are effectively addressed, and patients are supported in achieving optimal recovery and well-being.
Orofacial Complex Rehabilitation
Focused therapy is a crucial aspect of the recovery journey for individuals who have undergone oral cancer surgery. These specialized orofacial massage therapy techniques are specifically designed to alleviate pain and enhance mobility in the orofacial region, facilitating a smoother transition to normal daily activities. By targeting these specific areas with precision and care, patients can experience a more comprehensive and effective rehabilitation process, improving their overall quality of life and well-being.
​
Techniques used are intraoral massage, scar tissue release, and lymphatic drainage
Lymphatic Drainage
Gentle, rhythmic techniques, such as manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), are employed to encourage the natural flow of lymphatic fluid within the body. This specialized orofacial massage therapy technique aids in reducing swelling, promoting detoxification, and enhancing overall wellness by supporting the immune system's function.
​
Lymphatic drainage reduces post-surgical edema by aiding in the reduction of swelling after surgical procedures, promotes detoxification by assisting the body in eliminating toxins, and enhances immune function by supporting the body's defense mechanisms against illnesses and infections.
Scar Tissue Release
Targeted orofacial massage therapy techniques are specifically designed to address and break down scar tissue and adhesions within the body. By focusing on these areas, these techniques aim to not only improve flexibility but also help in reducing discomfort and enhancing overall well-being.
​
Beneficial for post-surgical rehabilitation, particularly in the orofacial region, where exercises and therapies can aid in restoring functionality and improving overall recovery outcomes.
Trigger Point Therapy
Involves the practice of applying focused pressure to trigger points within the muscles. This orofacial massage therapy technique targets areas that may cause referred pain, ultimately improving muscle function and effectively alleviating tension within the body. Promoting relaxation and facilitating better circulation, this method aids in enhancing overall well-being and physical comfort.
It is effective for treating various conditions such as chronic pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, and muscular injuries, providing targeted relief for individuals seeking natural and holistic solutions to their discomfort.
Rehabilitative Care for TMJ
Specialized orofacial massage therapy techniques tailored for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders focus on alleviating pain and restoring optimal function, ultimately enhancing the overall quality of life for individuals dealing with such conditions. These techniques encompass a range of approaches such as trigger point therapy, intraoral massage, and myofascial release.
By specifically targeting areas of pain and tension, these methods facilitate muscle relaxation, leading to improved range of motion and enhanced overall well-being for those affected by TMJ disorders.
Intraoral Massage​
Specialized orofacial massage therapy technique designed to alleviate discomfort and improve function in individuals suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. This form of massage targets the muscles inside the mouth, directly addressing the root causes of pain and dysfunction associated with the jaw.
This targeted approach not only provides significant pain relief but also improves jaw mobility, making it easier to open and close the mouth without discomfort. Intraoral massage can also alleviate stress-related behaviors such as teeth grinding and jaw clenching, further enhancing overall jaw function and contributing to better chewing, speaking, and general comfort.
