Clinical Reputation

Shakila is respected for her strong anatomical knowledge, rehabilitation background, and ability to manage both straightforward and complex cases. Her decade of experience allows her to confidently treat:

  • TMJ dysfunction

✨ Treatment Approach

Shakila’s philosophy is rooted in whole-body integration. She understands that pain rarely exists in isolation.

Her treatments combine:

  • Osteoarticulation

  • Craniosacral therapy

  • Visceral manipulation

  • Myofascial remodeling

  • Advanced therapeutic massage techniques

She evaluates how the musculoskeletal, nervous, and visceral systems interact — then creates a customized plan to address the root cause of dysfunction.

Patients often describe her care as:

  • Thorough

  • Calm and reassuring

  • Technically precise

  • Deeply therapeutic

Her goal is not temporary relief — but restoring balance so the body can heal naturally.

    Shakila is known for her expertise in TMJ massage therapy, addressing jaw pain, clicking, headaches, facial tension, and bite imbalance. Her treatments target the muscles, fascia, cranial structures, and nervous system involvement contributing to TMJ dysfunction. Patients appreciate her precise, gentle, and highly effective approach to restoring jaw comfort and mobility.

    ✨ Visceral Massage & Visceral Manipulation
    A recognized strength of her practice is visceral therapy, where she works with the internal organs and surrounding fascial connections to improve digestive function, reduce abdominal tension, support pelvic health, and restore internal mobility. This specialized work is especially beneficial for clients experiencing bloating, digestive disturbances, stress-related tension, and chronic discomfort.

    ✨ Chronic Pain & Complex Conditions
    With a five-year physical therapy education in India and extensive rehabilitation experience, Shakila has treated complex neurological injuries, severe physical disabilities, women’s pelvic health conditions, and long-standing musculoskeletal pain.
