Treating acute and chronic pain is not a quick fix, it is a process.  I am not just a massage therapist, I also a body worker.  A body worker does not just treat the pain with deep tissue therapy.  They also look at and treat the whole body.  I spent time with the patient and ask a lot of questions to get a what the cause of the pain problem is.  Many times it has a lot to do with egonomics.  How you sleep.  Do you sleep on your back, side or stomach (the worst).  Do you wake up with headaches or your hands numb?  Do you carry a billfold in your back pocket (big no no).  Do you walk around bare foot at home?  What kind of shoes do you wear?  Do you have long leg/short leg?  
With TMJ and Bruxism it has a lot to do with egonomics.  Do you chew on one side of you mouth?  Have you worn braces?  Are you grinding your teeth at nigh?  Do you use a nite guard?  Had any head trauma or car accidents?  
Methodogy is also a key factor.  My deep tissue therapy and myofascial release word is the best there is.  I have over 20 years of experience.  5 years of EMS as a volunteer fire fighter/ EMT and many years of Hospice have taught me the finer points of patient care.  I do this work because I have a passion for helping people and helping people get out of pain.  I can't fix anyone.  I facilitate a process!  I find the pain locked in the  muscle and reteach you how to release it.  Through deep breathing and relaxing there by releasing the muscle tension.  In younger people its not as difficult, just takes several sessions.  Most times in 4 to 6 sessions.  In older people 40 and up it takes long, but not always.  I get results the first session on almost all patients.  Muscle memory comes back and muscles go back to doing what they were doing before.  Just like riding a bike or walking.  Muscles do what they remember.  So it is important to get work done every week for 4 to 6 weeks.  To re-teach the muscles to relax and let go.  And for you to understand what the cause of the problem may be.  Many time its not just one thing, its a combination of little things that create a big thing.
I am very good at what I do!  I am the first and only massage therapist in Houston advertising to do this work.  I work on and with many doctors and professionals in the medical field and they all find this work very effective and fascinated with the results.  If you suffer for chronic headaches.  Neck and shoulder pain that just will not go away you owe it to yourself to come to me and let me help you with your pain problems.  You will be completely satisfied with the results!
