TMJD & Jaw Relief
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.
