Adirondack Salt Cave — Attraction in City of Glens Falls

This review is specifically for TMJ massage, and even more specifically for TMJ massage performed by Jodee.

I've had TMJ disorder since high school and, as I've aged, the flare-ups have gotten much worse—and way more frequent. My dentists over the years haven't been incredibly helpful; the only thing they really offer is a nightguard, which I basically wear until I gnaw holes through it. Rinse, repeat. Looking for more proactive solutions, I tried Botox—it offered relief, but not lasting relief. And it was EXPENSIVE.

I've always loved massage, and I'd heard rumors of the slightly scary-sounding "intraoral" TMJ massages. I was shocked that no one local offers TMJ massage (or at least, don't advertise it). After expanding my search, I finally found the Salt Cave, 55 minutes away. Figuring it couldn't hurt to try, I emailed the Salt Cave and Jodee responded right away.

I would travel to the ends of the earth for the relief that Jodee has given me. I haven't had a real TMJ flare-up since I've started seeing her, and I've been seeing her for about four months now. The miracles she has worked on my jaw are seriously ... well, miraculous. I'm no longer constantly massaging a swollen, painful cheek, or feeling that pop when I open my mouth too wide. Even after the first visit I noticed a seriously impressive difference. I'm more cognizant of my posture, my stress levels, and my face in general.

Not only is Jodee amazing at TMJ massages, and not only is the pricing very reasonable for the amount of relief she provides. Jodee just also happens to be a darn sweetheart. These may not be the supremely relaxing spa massages we're used to falling asleep in, you may have to participate, and you even get homework, but I leave Jodee each time feeling energized, invigorated, and physically stronger than when I walked in. Jodee makes fun chitchat, checks in with you on comfort levels, and above all listens to you and your body.

An example: one visit, I had recently suffered the worst migraine of my life, brought about by changing medications, high humidity, and PMS. I let Jodee know that I would likely have more jaw tension because of this ... and she went to town on my neck, working the specific muscles that were still screaming, while still not neglecting my jaw. She even educated me on the areas I can massage myself, and loaned me a neck-training device to see if it would help. She gets no money from that; I wouldn't be buying such a device from her. She's just that caring and kind, and genuinely wants to help people feel the best that they can.

Jodee's a healer. And I didn't know that TMJ was something that could be healed or even improved, until I met her. Grateful for her every single day, and can't wait to...

Robin Dygert is top notch. I've been receiving facials for 20 years. Robin delivers the most thorough facial I've ever received. Robin knows and understands skin well. She is an expert with product and regimens to protect, nourish and enhance your skin. He service is thorough with cleaning, massage, exfoliation, and facial masks-just to mention a few. Her service last well beyond an hour with upper chest, shoulder, scalp and arm massage. These massage processes occur while facial steps are processing and/or the steaming process. Her eyebrow technique is exceptional. She provides numerous waxing services as well. You leave after Robin's services feeling relaxed and peaceful. Robin's time and dedication spent with each client, cannot be found anywhere else. I highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for an...

The salt cave is an oasis. As soon as you walk in, you receive a warm welcome from the team at the desk. Masks are still required as of October 2021, which I appreciate. I received one of the best massages I’ve ever gotten, and was immediately hooked.This is not the ‘I just want to relax’ massage, mind you. I’m not sure if other therapists offer a Swedish style (they may, and I advise you to call and find out) but what I received was a combination of shiatsu/Thai yoga in which my therapist is really seeking to map my body and target deeply seated ailments, which requires digging deep into pressure points and isn’t always relaxing, but oh so rewarding. I am now a regular, seeking treatment every 3 weeks to help keep my body happy. Thank you...
