The other day I had a client that seemed to have no particular problems and just wanted a relaxation massage...Near the end of the massage when palpating her masseter muscles she gave a slight grim-us.. I said " Oh your sore there?" She said yes but I dont need to work on them.. I asked her if she had a headache.. She said yes I have a slight headache.. but she doesn't want me digging around and in her mouth She just wants to relax...I said well that digging around in the mouth is old school and in her case probably not necessary..there is a much easier way to do it now. ..I told her that it would only take maybe 20 or 30 seconds.. She said how... I said stick your tongue between your teeth.. she did... Then I took my index finger and pushed up on her jaw for 30 seconds then told her to relax.. re palpated her masseters.. They were no longer sore and her slight headache was gone. lol She was very surprised and happy. Ok, gotta go to work now.
