Find healing within the walls of an inclusive wellness spa, Auroraflow (919-229-9555) in Durham, NC. The value-driven business offers various healing services to all people, with a focus on the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities.
Across all cultures, the first light of every day is considered healing and beautiful. The dawn, or aurora, as it's known in some cultures, signifies the beginning of a new way of living—an embrace of a new hope.
Within Durham, a spa is built to bring light to all those who’ve been in the dark for so long. Auroraflow is a new wellness spa that welcomes everyone to begin their healing journeys inside their inclusive center. It is the dawn that touches on the flow of life, gently offering sanctuary to every star child of each color and orientation.
And if you don’t know where to get started, Auroraflow announces its featured treatment for this month: the TMJ massage. The LGBTQ+-friendly wellness spa's massage therapists gently manipulate the muscles surrounding the jaw and throat to alleviate pain and tension.
The spa recommends its TMJ massage for busy individuals looking for some relief from their joint disorder. Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes, but you have the option to add on a 60-minute Ashiatsu massage for full-body relaxation.
For April, the TMJ massage is only $50 instead of $75!

Auroraflow explains that despite its prevalence in the country, many Americans still do not understand how temporomandibular joint disorder manifests or how to effectively and naturally treat it.
A spokesperson for the center wrote, "TMJ massage focuses on relieving tension and pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) which connects the jawbone to the skull and is responsible for the movement of the jaw. When the TMJ is stressed or injured, it can cause discomfort, pain, and difficulty in eating, speaking, and even breathing."
TMJ disorder is typically treated with some over-the-counter medications, ranging from NSAIDs to antidepressants. However, despite their effectiveness in minimizing general pain, these medicines do not resolve other symptoms associated with TMJ, including limited movement or locking of the jaw.
For these manifestations, a TMJ massage may offer therapeutic benefits. Through gentle manipulation, a therapist can relieve the tension from the face and neck, which may improve jaw flexibility. The massage may also have the added benefit of promoting relaxation and reducing the feeling of pain.
Auroraflow explains that this specialized massage treatment is ideal for adults who continuously experience stiffness in the muscles of their jaws. With regular sessions, you may experience alleviated pressure around the neck and have a higher quality of life.
Before any massage, please take note that the center may ask you about your medical history or possible contraindications. During the TMJ massage, you may feel some discomfort around the jaw area, but this is completely normal.
