Relieve Jaw Tension & Headaches with Targeted Jaw Massage

 

Do you wake up with a sore jaw, tension headaches, or neck pain? Do you clench or grind your teeth, especially during times of stress or while you sleep? You may be experiencing symptoms of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJD) — a condition that affects the joint that connects the temporal and mandible bones of the skull.

 

Try specialized jaw massage therapy — to address the external muscles of the head and neck, as well as internal muscles of the mouth, with intraoral jaw massage techniques!

 

 

What Is Jaw Massage?

 

Jaw massage involves focused therapeutic techniques that address the muscles involved in chewing, speaking, and making facial expression — including the masseter, temporalis, and pterygoid muscles.  It includes…

 

External Jaw Massage: Gentle, precise work on the outside of the face, neck, and head to relieve tension and improve circulation.

Intraoral Jaw Massage: Using a gloved hand to access and release tight muscles inside the mouth that can’t be reached externally — especially effective for chronic TMJD and jaw clenching.

 

 

Benefits of Jaw Massage for TMJD and Tension Headaches

 

 Relieves Jaw Pain and Tension

 Reduces Headaches and Facial Pain

 Improves Jaw Mobility and Function

 Eases Neck and Shoulder Tension

 Supports Dental and Orthodontic Health

By targeting the muscles involved in clenching, grinding, or poor jaw alignment, massage can help interrupt the pain cycle and support long-term relief.

 

 

Who Can Benefit from This Work?

• People with diagnosed TMJD

• Chronic headache or migraine sufferers

• Anyone who clenches or grinds their teeth (bruxism)

• Clients under high stress or with postural imbalances

• Individuals recovering from dental work or orthodontics

 

 

Is Intraoral Massage Safe?

 

Yes — intraoral massage is a safe and effective technique performed by a therapist trained and certified in this modality.

 

A gloved hand is used, and your comfort and consent are our top priority. This method allows us to reach deeper muscle layers that often contribute to chronic TMJ dysfunction and tension.
