Therapeutic massage for pain and stress release, via deep specific myofascial and orthopedic techniques.

In stark contrast to “spa” massages, at Temple Mend we create lasting relief from pain and stress via therapeutic techniques that change how you feel, breathe, and move.

We begin by assessing and addressing joint function and mobility, using special testing and positional release techniques. Then we progress to soft tissue work: re-ordering the fascial and muscle tissues using slow, sustained pressure sometimes affectionately dubbed “muscle melting” or “forced relaxation.”

_{Most commonly treated conditions: back pain, neck pain, shoulder and arm range of motion and neuropathy, TMJ, abdominal pain, sciatica, plantar fascitis, headaches, migraines, scar tissue, impeded mobility, stress and sleep issues, anxiety, digestive issues, post-operative pain.}

We let your nervous system settle deeply and progressive fascial layers of connective tissue release old patterns of tension and de-hydration. Consequently, when a muscle releases, the 3D matrix of fascial connective tissue is ready to retain the benefit of the new holding pattern, rather than snapping back immediately as it can with rapid treatments.

When we re-structure soft tissues this way, we see relief from chronic pain, increased mobility, better sleep and stress resilience, and an ability to breathe, eat, and move better.

There are brain-training aspects to re-training the way our muscle and fascial tissues are functioning and supporting us. So that requires practice and presence with our bodies in bodywork, as well as in our daily movement patterns to feel our best.
