Stretch*d offers restorative massage services not just for the body but above the neck too. Face*ssage is a rejuvenating facial technique by bodywork experts for our clients in Encinitas, California.

With a mix of acupressure and deep-tissue methods, the approach delivers several benefits. A facial massage can help with TMJ (temporomandibular joint dysfunction), teeth grinding, and other issues with the jaw. Regular sessions might also relieve pain or tightness in the head and neck, as well as symptoms of tension headaches. Face*ssage brings relief down to connecting muscles by targeting the neck, shoulders, and upper back.

Our effective yet non-invasive facial massage techniques can also stimulate circulation and support lymphatic flow, helping fluids drain to reduce puffiness in the face and create a more sculpted look. With a series of Face*ssage sessions, you can expect a more contoured appearance with defined features and a radiant complexion.

Beyond all these benefits, facial massage is just plain relaxing. The luxurious experience can help you unwind, lower your stress levels, and give your mental well-being a boost.

Stretch*d Encinitas offers a range of enhancements to upgrade your facial massage session and elevate your results. We’re talking gua sha for contouring and tension relief, the buccal technique for lymphatic drainage, magnesium cream or arnica cooling gel to alleviate soreness and inflammation, Celluma red light therapy for collagen production, percussive massage therapy, or a personalized stretching experience.

Choose from a variety of moisturizing facial oils that nourish without irritating sensitive or acne-prone skin on the face, neck, and shoulders. You can have peace of mind knowing all our topical products are formulated with clean, natural, safe ingredients, without any harsh preservatives or synthetic fragrances.

For upper-body and jaw relief with massage therapy and lymphatic drainage techniques, Stretch*d has you covered. Book a Face*ssage appointment in Encinitas today.

Prior to each session, our bodywork experts will assess your needs and goals, then create a personalized facial massage experience. During Face*ssage, we target acupressure points on the face and smaller muscles throughout the neck, upper back, and shoulders to release tension. You’ll leave your session looking more sculpted and feeling more relaxed.

Our approach to facial massage alleviates tension in the face, neck, and shoulders while promoting a feeling of lightness and supporting lymphatic drainage to lift, tone, and reduce puffiness. There’s no downtime with Face*ssage, so you won’t have to allot time to recover, and you can do it often as you’d like. We suggest at least one session a month to optimize the benefits and achieve consistent results.

Yes. Each Face*ssage starts with an assessment of your unique needs, tension areas, and goals, helping us tailor the experience to you. Whether you’re hoping to boost circulation, improve skin elasticity, reduce tension in your jaw, or just relax and unwind, you can bet the experience will be entirely customized.

Buccal massage is a specialized facial technique designed to relieve tension in the jaw, promote circulation, and enhance overall facial relaxation. Traditionally, this method involves working both the inside and outside of the cheeks to release muscle tightness. At Stretch*d, our Face* sessions focus on external facial manipulation—using expert techniques to lift, tone, and relieve tension in the face and jaw without the need for intraoral work. This means you still get all the benefits of a deep facial release, minus any fingers in the mouth. Experience the Stretch*d way of facial recovery: expert, effective, and always on your terms.

Our TMJ massage in Encinitas is a specialized massage technique that aims to reduce tension and ease discomfort in the jaw and surrounding muscles. It’s designed to offer relief for symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, like tightness, clenching the jaw, or grinding teeth.

Stretch*d is open Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 8 PM, Friday and Saturday from 8 AM to 7 PM, and Sunday from 9 AM to 6 PM.

We do accept walk-ins at our Encinitas studio but can’t guarantee we’ll have availability. Making an appointment ahead of time is the best way to secure a Face*ssage, Stretch*ssage, or assisted stretching session.
