Course Description
This course is the second installment in the Face & Scalp Massage Series and builds
upon the foundational principles and techniques introduced in Part One. Part Two
provides an in-depth exploration of targeted, evidence-informed facial and scalp
massage techniques designed to address specific concerns within the massage therapy
scope of practice. Emphasis is placed on working with temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
dysfunction, Bell’s palsy considerations, and common tension patterns affecting the

and apply appropriate techniques to support relaxation, reduce holding patterns, and
enhance client comfort.
