What Is Remedial Face Massage?
A therapeutic approach to facial tension, balance, and well-being
Facial care is often associated with beauty treatments, creams, and glowing skin. But underneath the surface, the face is home to a complex network of muscles, fascia, lymphatic vessels, and nerves that play a vital role in our overall well-being. If you experience jaw tension, headaches, facial puffiness, or even emotional stress, you may be holding more tension in your face than you realise.
That’s where Remedial Face Massage comes in—a powerful, hands-on treatment that focuses on deep muscular release, structural balance, and restoring natural facial harmony.
What Is Remedial Face Massage?
Remedial Face Massage is a targeted, deep massage therapy that works on the muscles of the face, jaw, neck, and upper shoulders. Unlike cosmetic facials that focus on surface-level results, this treatment is designed to address underlying muscular tension, restricted movement, and lymphatic blockages.
By combining techniques such as:
-
Myofascial release
-
Trigger point therapy
-
Lymphatic drainage
-
Stretching and joint mobilisation
… the therapist aims to restore balance, release deeply held tension, and improve the function of facial and jaw muscles.
What Happens During a Session?
Your remedial face massage begins with a consultation to understand your concerns—whether you’re experiencing TMJ dysfunction, stress-related jaw clenching, or general tightness around the temples, forehead, or neck.
The treatment may include:
-
Gentle to firm pressure on specific facial and jaw muscles to release knots and adhesions
-
Stretching techniques to improve mobility in the neck, scalp, and facial muscles
-
Intra-oral massage (if appropriate and consented), particularly effective for TMJ issues
-
Gentle lymphatic drainage to support detoxification and reduce puffiness
-
Soothing strokes around sinus and temple areas to ease headaches or eye strain
Clients often feel a sense of deep release, improved facial mobility, and mental clarity after just one session.
