Neck and Jaw Pain and Fascial Counterstrain in Melbourne

I work with people who have had neck or jaw pain for a long time and have tried several treatments without a clear answer. I use Fascial Counterstrain (FCS), a gentle hands-on method, to assess which system may be involved and then treat it with light, precise technique.

Why neck and jaw pain can be hard to pin down

The neck, jaw, head and shoulders share a lot of tissue and are closely connected. Pain in one place can be linked to another, so treating only the sore spot does not always change things. I do not diagnose jaw or neck conditions. My job is to assess what may be contributing and to treat that gently.

How I approach it

I start with your history and what you have already tried. Then I assess the area and the tissue around it, rather than only the point that hurts. Treatment is gentle. I use light touch and positioning, not deep pressure or forceful movements.

Your first session

  • One hour, so there is time to listen properly.
  • I go through your history and what you’ve already tried.
  • I assess, treat, and talk through a plan with you.
  • Initial consultation is $130.

When to see a doctor first

Please seek medical care straight away if you have a sudden severe headache, chest pain, weakness in your face or arm, difficulty speaking, or neck pain after a significant injury. If pain comes with fever and a stiff neck, get checked urgently.

Questions

How many sessions will I need?

It varies from person to person. After your first session I’ll talk through what I’d suggest, and nothing is promised in advance.

Is the treatment painful?

I use gentle, light-pressure techniques. Tell me if anything is uncomfortable and I’ll adjust.
