Experience relief through a TMJ massage
TMJ massage focuses on relieving tension and pain in the jaw, neck, and shoulders caused by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. This specialized massage helps alleviate jaw pain, headaches, and stiffness, improving jaw mobility and promoting overall relaxation. Ideal for those suffering from teeth grinding or jaw clenching.
What to Expect During a TMJ Massage
During a TMJ massage, your therapist will focus on the muscles around the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders. Techniques may include gentle pressure on the jaw muscles, both externally and internally, to release tension and improve alignment. You can expect to feel a gradual reduction in pain and tension as the massage progresses.
Benefits of TMJ Massage
Relief from Jaw Pain: TMJ massage targets the muscles surrounding the jaw, easing tension and reducing pain caused by TMJ disorder or teeth grinding (bruxism).
Reduced Headaches: Tension in the jaw can often lead to headaches. TMJ massage helps alleviate this tension, providing relief from chronic headaches or migraines linked to jaw clenching.
Improved Jaw Mobility: Tightness in the jaw muscles can restrict movement, making it difficult to open or close the mouth. Regular TMJ massage improves mobility and flexibility in the jaw, reducing stiffness.
Neck and Shoulder Pain Relief: TMJ dysfunction can lead to muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. TMJ massage extends beyond the jaw to release tightness in these areas, offering overall relaxation and pain relief.
Stress Relief: Jaw tension is often a result of stress, and TMJ massage provides a calming effect that helps to relax the muscles, reduce stress, and promote a sense of well-being.
