Puffiness that lingers past breakfast, a jawline that feels held rather than rested: people often assume this needs something dramatic. It rarely does, and it always needs a proper look first.
Fluid, tension and the way you sleep all play a part, which is why we ask about your mornings before we touch your face.
what we look at first
How your face looks and feels first thing, and by the end of the day.
Whether you clench, grind, or carry your day in your jaw.
What you eat, drink and sleep like, honestly, with no judgement.
what this page will not tell you
Nothing on this page is a diagnosis. Persistent swelling can have causes a massage practitioner is not the right person for, and if we think you should see your GP first, we will say so.
questions
Will one session make a difference?
Some people feel a difference after one hour; others find it builds with a rhythm. Neither is promised. What you can expect is an honest conversation about which is likely for you.
Is there anything I should avoid afterwards?
There is nothing complicated to follow after a massage. We will tell you at your appointment if there is anything specific worth doing, or avoiding, for the rest of the day.
