My experience with Marzena has been miraculous! I came in after trying what felt like everything to reduce my tmj pain and tension. I had gotten a night guard, done two rounds of physical therapy, saw a chiropractor, did dry needling, and got botox. Within my first session, where we mostly discussed the issue and did about 10 minutes of hands on work, I could tell a difference which allowed my jaw to relax a little bit and open wider. It was amazing! I have continued and after 3 hands-on sessions the tension in my neck has disappeared and my jaw tension is relaxing with results lasting a few days. I am excited to continue working with Marzena to have long lasting results! Less

Marzena has been a huge support in my journey around managing my chronic TMJ pain. She is kind, attentive, and will do everything in her power to help manage your pain. She understands chronic pain more than most doctors, and knows the TMJ joint very well. She is a God send. I highly, highly recommend her Less

Marzena is seriously a miracle worker. I've been dealing with terrible TMJ pain for over a year, and she thoughtfully set a practice for us that each time we have a session, has decreased my pain and tension incredibly. She's so good at what she does, if you experience any kind of muscle pain see her you'll be so grateful you did! Less

It all began with a string of unfortunate events resulting from shoddy orthodontic work, which left me grappling with excruciating TMJ pain and persistent jaw popping. The pain became so bad, I would eat only once in the evening right before bed and avoided social situations that required talking. I saw a few physical therapists, but none provided relief. Desperate for a solution, I turned to Yelp, That's when I stumbled upon Back to Touch massage and Marzena, whom I call The Jaw Whisperer. In our first session, Marzena immediately displayed a profound understanding of my physical and emotional struggles. She let me cry as I explained how and why my jaw and teeth became out of alignment, and she used that information to customize my treatment. To my surprise, the jaw popping subsided after just three sessions - going from multiple times per day to once or twice per week. After five sessions, the jaw popping was completely gone. Marzena also took the time to teach me simple exercises I could practice at home, empowering me to take charge of my own healing journey. Thanks to Marzena's continuing care and support, I am learning to manage my pain and gradually trying to return to a normal life. Less

I have been working with Marzena for several months now to treat severe TMJ pain and migraines. I was having 4-5 migraines a week. After our first session, I had some relief, but truly after session #2 i really saw a difference. I am down to 1 migraine a week on average and my TMJ has decreased dramatically. This progress requires ongoing treatment, but the frequency of our sessions is decreasing over time. Marzena is truly passionate about helping her clients find pain relief. I cannot recommend her enough! Less

Marzena is wonderful. At the first appointment, she did a thorough evaluation and assessed my goals prior to starting. Based on this, we established a treatment plan. After even the first session, I saw improvement in pain and stiffness, which continues to improve with each session. I never write google reviews, but recommend Marzena to anyone who struggles with TMJ issues. Less

I've had a really great experience with Marzena for TMJ pain! After the first few sessions, my pain and inflammation did increase for a few days, but after the third session and beyond, I have seen durable, improving, and lasting results. Marzena has also helped me reframe how I think about pain, and she is responsive to my needs. Marzena is exceptional at massage but also is a caring person who invites you to share a little more about yourself and she does the same. She is a joy to work with and I'm grateful that I found her! Less

Marzena is wonderful. My TMJ has significantly decreased from the work she is doing. I have had many massages for this issue and non of them have been this effective Less

I came here as a one-time treat to myself during a particularly bad bout of jaw and neck pain, and now I can’t imagine not going back! In just 2 sessions, Marzena has helped my pain considerably. After my massage today, my back teeth are touching for the first time (something my orthodontist couldn’t fix in 4 years). Looking forward to my next session already. Thank you Marzena! Less

Marzena is a fantastic massage therapist. I highly recommend coming to her if you have any related TMJ pain. She treats me for my TMJ pain which extends into my back and neck feeling tight. I have been going to appointments with her for many months now and am so much better day to day. I no longer have such terrible headaches on a constant basis, my neck and back feel better as well as understanding how often and easy it is to tense up - now with skills that she has taught and the treatment she gives I know more to stop the involuntary tensing as well as exercises I am able to do at home to keep the improvement strong. I am always excited for my next appointment although with my improvements they are luckily now fewer and far between. Thanks Marzena!! Less

This is the place to go if you're looking for relief from TMJ pain. I've been dealing with clicking and popping in my jaw for several years, but in the last 6 months or so it's progressed into fairly severe pain and discomfort while chewing, yawning, and even just talking. I've now had two visits with Marzena and the improvement is remarkable. The tightness and misaligned feeling in my jaw is almost completely gone and the pain has subsided when I chew. She does a wonderful job of explaining her technique and answering questions. I really can't recommend her enough. If you're on the fence about whether this might work for you, take this as your sign to give it a try. I'm very glad that I did. Less

I visited Back to Touch after experiencing stress-induced TMJ pain for 2-3 months. My jaw was extremely stiff and ached when I ate, talked, and even when I tried to sleep… The discomfort was constant. During my first hour-long appointment, Marzena was very straightforward about the expected results. She assessed the problems with my jaw, asked me what my goals were, and planned out an approach that could be adjusted based on how my body responded to the treatment. She did not promise any miracles but clearly had a lot of experience to build the treatment on. Following the massage, I felt immediate relief, though I was still stiff and sore as Marzena had warned. A few days after my appointment, my pain had disappeared entirely. Everyone’s bodies respond differently, and this may not be a miracle cure after a single appointment for all, but it was for me and I am so grateful for the relief that it has provided. Marzena works in very honest and transparent way which made me very comfortable, and she is clearly very skilled and passionate about what she does which is reflected in the relief that her patients experience. I will be coming back for maintenance appointments to prevent flare ups and recommending her to anyone I know who is experiencing the same. Thank you, Marzena!! Less

I came in with severe TMJ pain. Daily headaches, clicking, popping, limited movement, neck/shoulder/back/face/head pain. Truly unbearable. Marzena sat down with me, listened to all my complaints, and then showed me specific exercises I can do at home to help with the pain. She then massaged all the tense areas, from my back to my face, while being gentle enough to not cause more pain. She even massaged inside my mouth, which sounds a little weird, but was incredibly helpful for the facial muscles. I didn’t get this kind of help at the dental spa or physical therapist I saw. The day after my massages, there is no headache and my mouth/jaw is able to move more freely with less pain. She checks in with me after my appointments to make sure I’m doing okay. She is also open late & has weekend appointments, which makes the process so much easier as I don’t have to take time off work just to take care of this medical need. Her prices are also very reasonable. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone suffering from TMJ pain. It is a game changer and will give you hope again! Less

If you’re feeling hopeless with your TMJ and jaw pain, look no further. I found Marzena after seeing multiple chiropractors with no success to improve my TMJ. With just one session, I experienced life changing results that have kept me coming back for more. She is completely professional and listens to your specific needs! Less

Marzena is a great massage therapist. I only wish I knew about her sooner! I was experiencing neck pain and as soon as my first session, she was able reduce my pain exponentially. Less

You should come here! Marzena is the best! I had been looking through different places to go for a deep tissue massage and I am so grateful I came here. She is patient and listens to what you need help with. My lower back hurt so much and after just one session I feel so much better. Less

I have been seeing Marzena for a couple months now. I came to her with a lot of pain in my jaw as well as tightness in my neck and shoulders that I couldn’t alleviate by stretching or self massage. When I came in for my first appointment Marzena did a thorough check in with me about my needs and what I wanted to accomplish with massage therapy. During my first session I could already see results, my jaw could unclench for the first time in a long time! She also gave me plenty of tips on how to maintain looseness and relaxation in my jaw neck and shoulders on a daily basis. Now I come in as often as I can to continue my progress, which is gradual but very noticeable. I look forward to our sessions every week! Thank you Marzena! Less

I've has chronic pain in my body for years. Zero Point Balancing therapy helped, acupuncture helped a lot, but I still couldn't get rid of the re-occuring pain. After two visits with Marzena, my pain subsided for the longest its ever been (as far as I can tell - its been three weeks since my last appointment). She noticed that my body was recovered physically but my nervous system was still operating in response to the trauma I had endured. I feel so much better! I didn't know it was possible to be without pain again. Thank you Marzena! Less

I have both TMJ/neck/back pain and random flare-ups all on the left side, and have gone through a variety of treatments (including... botox! which didn't work at all for me). The number of flare-ups had increased, and I wanted to keep trying new things to combat the pain, or at least manage it better. Treatment here has helped so much! I started out once a week, now once every other week. One of the most important things I took from the treatment was that I wanted to make sure I kept up with stretching/movement/etc in between appointments to prevent pain as much as possible which has helped a ton in decreasing the pain/flare-ups overall. I'm so glad I came here, because my pain is so much better and more manageable! This has been a very effective method for me to better manage/help eliminate pain. If you have any kind of pain, highly recommend giving this a try! Less

A few weeks ago I woke up with horrendous jaw pain on my left side, which I never felt before. By chance, I had a dentist appointment that same day. As soon as I walked in, the Dentist noticed that my jaw was swollen, they could not even perform a teeth cleaning until I took Advil. The Dentist immediately diagnosed me with TMJ and fit me for a night guard (I haven't gotten to pick it up yet). In the days after, the jaw pain got worse. I was unable to chew, had awful headaches every day by 3 pm (to the point where i was nauseous) and was having difficulty staying asleep. I saw reviews for Back to Touch, and immediately booked an appointment for a few days later. Marenza spent a long time understanding my complete medical history and background. She also made it very clear to me that massage should be therapeutic, not torture. She wanted me to trust her, particularly b/c part of the treatment for TMJ includes massage inside the mouth (which went along with what the Dentist said). She is clearly very knowledgeable about her craft, and studies hard to make sure she is an expert on treatment. She let me know I might be sore, which I was slightly for the next two days. The third day after my massage, I was 80% better, with literally no headaches. A week after the massage, I was 85% better. Most of my jaw pain today only happens when I first open my mouth in the morning. She also checked in on me a couple days after the massage which really made me feel like she cares about helping her patients. Finally, Marenza did a lot of work on my back and neck, which also feel better, when going to a chiropractor did not really help. I highly suggest if you suffer from TMJ pain (or any other pain) to try Back to Touch Massage. It is a holistic approach that effectively treats pain. Less

Marzena is amazing. Since I've started weekly sessions with her, the chronic pain in my back and neck has massively decreased. She's very knowledgeable about which muscles are causing pain in a particular area and how to work on them to relieve pain. She's also a warm and friendly person who gets to know her clients and will adjust her treatment based on your stress level and state of mind. In response to COVID-19, Marzena is doing a great job of maintaining a safe, sanitary environment. She is taking extra time between appointments to make sure all of the surfaces and materials she uses are sanitized, to protect herself as well as her clients. Less

Marzena is tremendous. She really helped me with my TMJ, massaging the inside of my mouth under the cheek during our first session. Sounds bizarre but for the first time in months, I am pain free. Amazing! Her style is empathetic. Now I just get a regular massage, which is anything but regular. It’s deep but not too deep. Relaxing. I feel great after, never sore. She’s an A plus and also really sweet. Less

This was the best massage I've ever had! Marzena is incredible! I had a TMJ massage. I've had TMJ for 3 years now and I went to a doctor specializing in TMJ who showed me some self massaging techniques, and how to massage inside my mouth. Marzena's TMJ massage includes inside the mouth massage. Her inner mouth techniques were the same as what I learned from the TMJ specialist and were what I've found to be most helpful in my experience. She definitely knows what she's doing! She obviously cares about her customer's experience and does not want you to be in discomfort. She took the time to talk to me before the massage about my history and her techniques, and this talk removed any hesitation I might have had about speaking up during the massage about discomfort or asking questions. However, the massage was so relaxing that I ended up getting too sleepy to say much. Less

Marzena is a wonderful massage therapist who listens to your needs and addresses them with patience, kindness and a healing touch. Her explanation of pain and how both the mind and body react to it is really helpful in understanding and addressing symptoms. She takes the fear out of pain and her massage techniques helped me be rid of back pain that had been a real problem for a long time and nothing else up to then helped like she did. If you’re in pain, go see her! Less

Marzena is a great therapist. I had no idea there could be such relief. This visit Marzena surprised me by knowing how to relieve tension as a result of teeth grinding. Thank you. Less

Marzena is great. She listens to what’s tight and bothering me and always provides relief. I’ve been coming consistently for over 6 months and have had a wonderful experience. Less

Marzena really knows her stuff! She has helped both my back and neck pain as well as my TMJ symptoms drastically. For the TMJ, she actually gloves up and massages the inside of your mouth (sounds weird but the relief is instant). She is warm, kind, and very thorough. She cares deeply about her clients well being. Marzena consistently delivers the best massages, each time I leave I think "that was the best massage I have ever had". She keeps topping herself! Try the hot stone massage too, absolutely incredible. Less

This was the best massage I've ever had! Not only did I feel relaxed afterward, but I felt genuinely stretched out and relieved. Marzena was amazing! She's so kind, thorough, and genuinely funny! This was the first massage I've ever had where I felt like the masseuse explained everything to me, asked where I was holding stress, provided tips that I can do at home, and then specifically addressed the stressful areas in the massage. It was a fantastic experience. This is more than just a "relaxing" massage, it is truly bodywork. And while it's deep tissue - it doesn't hurt at all! It's just relieving. Honestly - go book Marzena right now - you won't regret it! Less

I scheduled an appointment due to a flare up with my TMJ. Marzena was able to reduce the pain drastically after a few appointments. Her consultative approach to understanding where and why I was in pain showed me that she was really dedicated to helping her clients. Would definitely recommend to friends and family! Less

I had an awful migraine the first time I went in for a massage. Marzena actually made it go away completely. Never had a massage that effective before. She also takes the time to ask about pain etc. to ensure she addresses important areas, and she got rid of the knee pain I had for a week. Highly recommended. Less
