TMJ Massage

Available in:

  • 45 minutes - TMJ Massage

  • 60 minutes - TMJ Massage

The TMJ (temporomandibular joint) is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. Tension or dysfunction involving the jaw and surrounding muscles can contribute to pain, headaches, facial tension and changes in how comfortably the jaw moves.

TMJ Massage is a focused treatment that addresses muscular tension and fascial restrictions throughout the jaw, face, head, neck and shoulders. Rather than focusing only on the jaw itself, treatment considers the surrounding muscles and tissues that may be influencing how the jaw feels and functions.

Treatment includes external techniques to the jaw and surrounding structures, with optional intraoral massage to access deeper muscles that can be difficult to reach externally. This can be particularly helpful for tension associated with clenching, grinding and repetitive jaw activity.

Each session is tailored to your individual symptoms, assessment and treatment goals.

TMJ Massage may help:

  • Reduce tension and discomfort in the jaw, face, neck and shoulders

  • Improve jaw mobility and make opening and closing the mouth more comfortable

  • Address muscular tension associated with clenching and grinding

  • Reduce tension that may contribute to headaches

  • Reduce facial pain and feelings of tightness

  • Address clicking or popping associated with muscular or movement dysfunction

  • Promote relaxation and reduce stress-related muscle tension

  • Help relieve muscular tension that may contribute to feelings of facial or sinus pressure

Who May Benefit From TMJ Massage?

TMJ Massage may be beneficial for individuals experiencing jaw pain or stiffness, clenching or grinding, facial tension, clicking or popping, restricted or uncomfortable jaw movement, tension-related headaches, or neck and shoulder tension that may be contributing to jaw discomfort.

It may also be helpful for those who experience headaches or migraines where jaw and muscular tension are contributing factors.

Intraoral treatment is always optional and is only incorporated with your consent.
