Bring your jaw tension into a guided movement session.

If jaw tension or restricted movement is affecting eating, speaking, or your day, describe that experience to Garrett. The Assessment explores movement with your feedback; it does not diagnose a TMJ disorder or replace dental or medical care.

Explain what you notice.

Tell Garrett when the restriction shows up and what you want to change. You do not need to decide which muscle or joint is responsible before the session.

Follow your response.

You take part in guided movements and positions while Garrett adjusts the setup. The aim is less pain and freer movement, with attention to what you actually experience.

Choose a useful next step.

Experience the work in a private, 50-minute Assessment. You and Garrett can discuss what changed and whether continued guidance would be useful.

I came in for back pain. I didn't expect to sleep better and stop grinding my teeth too.

Before you begin.

What happens in the Assessment?

+

Your first visit is a private, 50-minute session in San Francisco focused on reducing pain and freeing up movement. Your feedback shapes the hands-on guidance. A substantial change can happen in the first session.

Do I need movement experience?

+

No. You do not need flexibility or prior movement experience. The practice begins with how you move today.

Does Amari replace medical care?

+

No. Amari is a movement practice and does not diagnose or treat medical conditions. Ask your clinician about new or worsening symptoms, an acute injury, recent surgery, or a serious diagnosis before booking.

What happens after the first visit?

+

Use what you notice in the Assessment to decide whether to continue. Further sessions build on the work and help you develop more of your own practice. There is no preset outcome or recovery timeline.

Does Amari replace treatment from my dentist or clinician?

+

No. Amari does not diagnose or treat TMJ disorders. Keep dental and medical evaluation with the appropriate professional; the Assessment is a separate guided movement practice focused on pain and restricted movement.

Start with what you want back.
