This unique facial and buccal massage session is personally conducted by Anna, ensuring you receive the highest level of expertise and care. Dive into a restorative experience that combines holistic methods with Anna’s specialised techniques.
To maximise benefits, we recommend arriving without makeup. We use high-quality facial oils to enhance the massage experience. Wear attire that allows for easy shoulder exposure.

Facial and Buccal massage delves deeply into the anatomy of your face and jaw, using massage techniques tailored specifically for the face and neck, designed to soften muscles, stimulate blood flow, and promote lymphatic drainage. The session is a meticulous procedure, beginning with activating the lymphatic terminals around the neck and chest. This is followed by in-depth work on critical areas like the chin, cheeks, forehead, ears, and jaw to ensure effective fluid drainage and relaxation of these areas.
The treatment culminates with an intra-oral or ‘buccal’ massage, celebrated for its unparalleled efficacy in relieving tension within and around the jaw, offering profound relief.
The results? A remarkable reduction in facial and neck tension, an invigorated lymphatic system, and a rejuvenated appearance. Cosmetically, one can expect a naturally lifted visage, reduced puffiness, and an enviable youthful glow.
Facial massage is more than just a spa luxury; it’s a therapeutic procedure with tangible aesthetic benefits:
A sluggish lymphatic system can manifest as puffiness, especially around the eyes. This treatment revives this system, reducing puffiness and refining facial contours.
Overworked facial muscles can lead to wrinkles. Our tailored massage techniques ensure these muscles are relaxed, softening lines and offering a refreshed appearance.
By stimulating the vagus nerve, this treatment transcends physical benefits, ushering profound relaxation.
We believe in a holistic approach, educating our clients about their facial anatomy, offering insights, and techniques for self-care and maintenance.

Caroline CarrFacial structures are intricate. Muscles attaching to bones on one side and skin on the other can, when over-contracted, lead to wrinkles. Ligaments and subcutaneous fat, essential for facial structure, can, over time, alter facial contours. Our treatment targets these very concerns, enhancing ligament elasticity, and optimising facial fat placement. Furthermore, with a plethora of lymph nodes in the face and neck, our massage techniques ensure their optimal functioning, crucial for reducing puffiness and achieving a radiant facial glow.
Buccal massage isn’t just another facial treatment; it’s a deep dive into the intricacies of your facial structure. Originating from traditional practices and refined for modern needs, this technique focuses on the muscles nestled inside the mouth, which play pivotal roles in chewing, speaking, and emoting. Over time, stresses, lifestyle habits, or even just the natural aging process can cause these muscles to hold tension, leading to a myriad of issues.

The jaw, being a hub of activity and emotion, often holds onto stress. Buccal massage goes right to the source of this tension, especially around the jaw and inner cheeks, offering relief that can help alleviate broader issues like TMJ disorders, migraines, and bruxism.
Whether it’s from stress-induced clenching or medical conditions, limited jaw mobility can be a real concern. Through buccal massage, we aim to restore the natural range of motion, ensuring you can speak, eat, and express freely.
At Key Osteopaths, we believe in holistic treatments. While buccal massage offers an in-depth focus on the facial muscles, craniofacial osteopathy complements by addressing the broader structures of the head, face, and jaw. This synergy ensures a comprehensive therapeutic experience. When combined, these treatments not only provide relief from muscular tension but also work towards aligning facial structures, enhancing blood flow, and promoting overall facial harmony. The result is a face that feels revitalised, functions optimally, and radiates good health.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), an intricate hinge connecting your jaw to your skull’s temporal bones, is crucial for basic activities like talking, chewing, and yawning. Any dysfunction in this joint can lead to a range of uncomfortable and, at times, debilitating symptoms.
TMJ disorders often manifest as pain in the jaw joint and the muscles controlling jaw movement. Beyond the physical discomfort, it can lead to headaches, earaches, difficulty in opening and closing the mouth, and even a clicking sound when the jaw moves. Such issues can significantly impact daily life, making routine activities a challenge.

Paola LopezA misaligned posture, especially one where the head consistently leans forward, exerts strain on the neck muscles. This strain inevitably impacts the facial muscles, leading to imbalances that can manifest as asymmetry or even contribute to issues like TMJ disorders. Over time, these imbalances can alter facial appearance, with one side appearing more dominant or developed than the other.
