Specialized Manual and Myofascial TMJ, Facial and Nasal Dysfuctions
My Mission
I believe that the human body functions as an interconnected system. Tension in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), teeth clenching, and tension headaches rarely occur in isolation. At my studio, Terra Care Masáže in Prievidza, I specialize in targeted, non-invasive work with soft tissues, myofascial chains, and the masticatory system. I help clients achieve long-lasting pain relief, restore natural jaw mobility, and bring overall balance back to the body.
Professional Education and Quality Assurance
Continuous education and a deep understanding of human anatomy and biomechanics are the core foundations of my practice. I hold a state-accredited certification, and I continuously advance my specialization through renowned professional training programs.
Specialization in TMJ and Nasal Dysfunctions: Intensive post-graduate training focused on the temporomandibular joint, masticatory muscles, and airways under the supervision of osteopath Dr. Mohamad Achi, D.O.
Certified Wellness Specialist: Accredited education in massage services and recovery recognized by the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic.
Integrating Breathing and Biomechanics: Specialized myofascial techniques aimed at releasing the nasal airways, cervical spine, and intraoral trigger points.
My Approach: Connecting TMJ and Breathing
TMJ issues (clicking, popping, or pain while chewing) and bruxism (nighttime teeth grinding) are often closely linked to mouth breathing and improper tongue posture.
In my practice, I combine:
1. Myofascial Facial and Neck Release: Targeted manual work on the m. masseter, m. temporalis, m. pterygoideus, and the sternocleidomastoid muscle (m. sternocleidomastoideus).
2. Breathing Pattern Correction: Manual tissue release in the nasal and cheekbone regions to support natural nasal breathing.
3. Synergy with Dentistry: My therapies serve as an ideal complementary addition to bite splint therapy, orthodontic treatment (braces), and dental prosthetic reconstructions.
