Bodywork That Works
Effective TMJ Release & Re-Align Massage
About Me:
Offering a unique bodywork approach alleviating chronic pain has been my passion since 2008. I developed ‘The Tech Neck Method’, to target postural tensions signaled by tmj pain, headaches, back/neck/shoulder issues. stresses causing chronic pain.
I trained with the venerable Bob Harris, an Angelino and healer/bodyworker for over 40 years, who trained me and encouraged me to take his wisdom to the next level. My clients are high-functioning individuals interested in on-going pain-free movement - athletes, business people, celebrities, parents, students and those actively participating in their optimal health.
I offer The Sterkenburg Effect in Los Angeles, Santa Monica, NYC, SF, & San Diego, currently. I am a teacher and trainer of this work and aim to provide access to this profoundly healing work around theworld.
Now Offering the Tech Neck -Method workshop
You’ve seen the video. Jaw release is the lynchpin of effective neck, back and shoulder relief. Over 18 years I’ve offered Jaw release as part of my massage and honed it into a sought-after niche bodywork method. There’s an ever-increasing demand for jaw-release work and too few therapists skilled at providing it!
Be one who changes that.
In this 2-day workshop I’ll demonstrate intra-oral release — determining acuteness of TMJ disorder; locating and manipulating release-points in the jaw, SCM & TMJ. You’ll learn how to connect the release points in the occiput, trapezii and corresponding pectoral points. Each person will work on a TMJ model from start to finish, with opportunities to practice on each other.
I’m passionate to help other therapists learn this technique; to provide effective pain relief and grow their practice. I was taught intra-oral work in 2007 by my mentor Bob Harris (now retired) “Mr. Miyagi of Massage” and he made me promise I would teach others, as he taught me. I’ve taken this skill into the treatment rooms of 5-star hotels, The Peninsula Beverly Hills and Hotel Bel Air. Now in my own practice, my skills are invaluable to a number of high profile clientele - actors, musicians, producers, Over the 18 years I’ve honed this skill; what I’ve learned is virtually everyone needs this release work. With the exception of a handful of dentists and chiropractors and therapists, there are very few effective intra-oral therapists out there. Now is the time to gain an edge in your massage practice and offer this transformative work to your TMJ-suffering clients!
