Massage Therapy Testimonials

"I have sent my TMJ patients to Jennifer Rockwell since 2022. I trust her with my patients as they all have had positive results and praise for Jennifer. She is very knowledgeable and knows how to approach and treat painful TV dysfunctions. I love that she educates the patients on how to do self-care to maintain the gains from treatment. Anyone who is lucky enough to have had a treatment from her, understands how much of a healer she is."

"I came to see Jennifer at the recommendation of Dr. Jennifer Buchanan's office, a Marin County dentist specializing in TMJ disorder. Jennifer's work inside of the mouth, combined with reducing the tension in my neck, has eliminated my headaches and reduced the tension in my jaw. I'm a repeat customer and can't recommend her more highly."

"Jennifer Rockwell is a true healer. I have been suffering from neck, shoulder and jaw pain for years. After various orthopedic treatments including steroid shots, nerve blocks, physical therapy, neck traction, chiropractic care and acupuncture, my pain kept coming back. A friend recommended I work with Jennifer to explore how TMJ might be contributing to my pain. From the first session, my pain and body transformed. Jen unlocked impingements in places in my mouth, jaw, neck and shoulder I did not know existed. She has innate intuition as a massage therapist but combined with her technical knowledge of the skull and spine, she is one of the most talented and unique practitioners I have ever worked with. After just 8 sessions I am living nearly pain free in my neck and the numbness in my arm and fingers has disappeared. She is also a true empath with humor to get you through to the other side. Jennifer is a miracle worker, and I am so grateful to have her in my life."

"To say that Jennifer Rockwell is a miracle worker would be a credit to miracle workers. Prior to working with Jen, I had chronic headaches, jaw and ear pain, extreme tightness in my jaw, and pain and stiffness in my neck. I was a wreck!

I have had TMJ since before I was a teenager. I wore braces for the first time in my late 20's, which began a massive realignment of my teeth and jaw. I consistently wore my oral appliance until it cracked when I was in my late 40's. The TMJ in my jaw (popping and pain) had also returned around that same time and I was referred to Jennifer Buchanan, DDS. Dr. Buchanan created a new oral appliance for me. The appliance helped significantly, but the muscles in my jaw had also become incredibly tight and locked up, so even though my jaw was no longer popping, I had chronic headaches, ear, and neck pain. Dr. Buchanan referred me for physical therapy - the person he referred me to was Jennifer Rockwell.

I have worked with various massage and physical therapy providers in the past, all with limited and short-term success. I was resigned to living with chronic pain with no hope that permanent relief could be possible. From the first appointment with Jennifer Rockwell, it was clear that she was highly knowledgeable about body mechanics and incredibly intuitive about how best to release the tension. Not only did Jen bring about immediate relief, but her technique has been very successful at peeling away layers of stuck muscle patterns. Most satisfying is that I have since, on occasion, gone several weeks between treatments - without a major backslide! And I continue to improve with ongoing treatments from Jen. Living a life free from pain is possible!

Jennifer Rockwell is an incredibly talented and gifted healer. I am grateful every day to be her client."

"I was referred to Jennifer by Dr. Jennifer Buchanan, an Asst. Clinical Professor in the Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at UCSF, who I had seen for persistent jaw pain. Jennifer is fantastic and has really helped to alleviate my pain. She taught me exercises I could do at home to help supplement her TMJ massage, and she has worked with me to figure out how often I should see her depending on my pain and tightness I feel in my jaw. My jaw and neck/head/shoulders feel so much better and I'm still seeing her for maintenance so it doesn't go back to being so constant. I highly recommend her!"

"Jennifer has helped me find relief from my TMJ issues. I was having a lot of jaw tension and pressure headaches but she was able to help release and pinpoint trouble areas. Jennifer is strong but also very knowledgeable about how to specifically treat jaw issues. After each treatment, I feel a huge sense of relief and noticeably less tension in my cranial area."

"I began seeing Jennifer Rockwell in April 2024 upon the recommendation of Suzanne White, PT. My primary reasons for seeking treatment were TMJD, and related symptoms such as jaw tension and pain, chronic headaches, neck pain, and hyperacusis.

Jennifer is welcoming, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in her approach. She takes the time to ensure that I feel comfortable and well-informed about the treatment process. During sessions, she checks regularly to confirm that the pressure and techniques she uses are suitable for me. Her work is precise and effective, utilizing intraoral massage, trigger point therapy, and fascia release to target areas of muscle tension.

Over several months of treatment, I have noticed a lot of improvement. Jennifer's techniques have helped release the extreme tension in my jaw, neck, and head. This has reduced not only physical discomfort but also some of the ear pain associated with my hyperacusis, a result that I was pleasantly surprised to experience.

Jennifer also provides helpful exercises that I can do at home to complement her sessions. In addition, she communicates clearly and kindly. She is professional yet approachable, always demonstrating genuine care.

For anyone managing TMJD, I would confidently recommend Jennifer Rockwell. Her thoughtful, thorough approach makes a noticeable difference over time and provides tools for ongoing improvement beyond the treatment room."
