TMJ Relief Massage
What is TMJ Relief Massage?
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, leading to discomfort, pain, and restricted movement. TMJ relief massage focuses on easing muscle tension in the jaw, neck, and shoulders to improve function and reduce pain.
If you struggle with this kind of pain, we’ve got good news-we offer massage therapy that can help! Our patients often report improvements relating to:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw
- Difficulty chewing or opening the mouth fully
- Headaches and ear pain
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
How TMJ Relief Massage Helps
TMJ relief massage targets the muscles surrounding the jaw, helping to release tightness and improve movement. This massage also improves blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and relieves stress that may contribute to jaw clenching and teeth grinding.
During your massage session, you can expect:
- Before the massage: Your therapist will ask about your TMJ symptoms, any pain levels, and your medical history.
- During the massage: The therapist will use gentle but firm techniques on the jaw, temples, neck, and shoulders. Some techniques may involve working inside the mouth with gloves to release tension in the deeper jaw muscles.
- After the massage: You may feel immediate relief or notice improvements over the next few days. Your therapist may also provide self-care tips, such as jaw stretches and relaxation techniques.
