Meet Your Massage Therapist

About Jennine Amato, MA LMT

Jennine "J9" Amato MA LMT is an intraoral and TMJ-focused manual therapist in Longmont CO.

I’ve spent 20+ years building an extensive treatment toolbox—not to mention a respectable collection of costumes—and plenty of life experience has shaped the way I show up with clients. I bring humor, curiosity, persistence, and empathy into the treatment room, along with a healthy respect for how frustrating it can be when the answers aren’t obvious.

My background draws from medical massage, TMJ-focused and intraoral manual therapies, myofunctional therapy, psychology, fitness training, behavior change, craniosacral therapy, and hands-on and movement-based approaches. That broad foundation allows me to look at the bigger picture, choose from a wide range of treatment options, and help you get the results you’re after.

Jennine J9 Amato is a pain, posture, and TMJ specialist in Longmont.

My Approach to Treatment

I provide solution-oriented manual therapy for lasting results in treating chronic and acute tension, postural strain, and muscular dysfunction. Treatment is customized to what you are experiencing, with the goal of creating meaningful relief, better movement, and lasting progress.

When you walk in the door, all you need to know is that you don’t feel the way you want—not what kind of treatment you need. That’s my job.

My own long history with complex health challenges has shaped the curiosity, persistence, empathy, and bigger-picture thinking I bring to my work. I know what it feels like to keep searching when the answers aren’t obvious—and that experience has made me especially attentive to clients who feel like something is being missed.

Treatment may involve hands-on manual therapy, individualized exercises and stretches, movement or postural strategies, practical self-care, and a focus on the underlying factors driving your struggles. My role is to bring experience, expertise, an extensive knowledge base, and a comprehensive treatment toolbox to support you both on and off the table and help you get the results you’re after.
