This treatment is aimed at relieving chronic tension that accumulates in the jaw, facial, cervical, and cranial areas due to bruxism, emotional stress, or overuse of the masticatory muscles.

It is a deep, specific, and careful massage that combines pressure techniques, myofascial release, circular movements, and unlocking maneuvers in areas such as the jaw, base of the skull, face, neck, and nape.

The goal is to release the muscles involved in chewing and facial expression, decompress structures connected to the central nervous system, and restore mobility, softness, and relief to areas that are often under constant, even unconscious, tension.

The cranial and bruxism treatments do not exceed 30 minutes and are performed in combination with a full-body massage.

Therapeutic benefits

• Reduces pain associated with bruxism by decreasing jaw stiffness, easing pressure on the TMJ (temporomandibular joint), and improving sleep quality.

• Relieves tension headaches and cervical contractures caused by rigid postures, emotional stress, or nighttime habits.

• Stimulates lymphatic and venous circulation in the face, helping reduce swelling, improve tissue oxygenation, and promote local deflammation.

• Reduces symptoms of anxiety, nervousness, or mental fatigue by acting directly on areas connected to the central nervous system.

• Brings calm, clarity, and a deep sense of relief on both physical and emotional levels.

• Note: This therapy must be combined with a full-body massage. The treatment should not exceed 30 minutes (+ full-body massage).

Who is it for?

This treatment is especially recommended for:

• People who suffer from bruxism (clenching or grinding of the teeth, especially at night).

• Those who experience tension headaches, jaw pain, neck or cranial discomfort.

• People with high emotional stress or anxiety, who express symptoms through facial or jaw muscle tension.

• Clients with sleep disorders related to nervous tension or cervical overload.

• People undergoing dental or psychological treatment who need complementary bodywork support.

What makes Lotus Masajes different

At Lotus Masajes, we approach this treatment with an integrative perspective that combines anatomical precision with emotional support. We understand that bruxism and craniofacial tension are not merely muscular issues, but expressions of an overwhelmed nervous system — a body trying to hold onto what it can’t process in other ways.

That’s why we work from a sensitive, attentive, and respectful place, adjusting each technique to the person’s threshold and level of physical or emotional tension. It’s a treatment that soothes the body, calms the mind, and helps release what no longer needs to be held.
