TMJ Release

Understanding TMJ & Jaw Pain:

Your temporomandibular joints are small but complex — connecting your jawbone to your skull and working every time you talk, chew, or yawn. When these joints or the surrounding muscles become tense, inflamed, or misaligned, it can lead to:

- Jaw pain or stiffness

- Clicking or popping sounds

- Headaches and migraines

- Ear pain or ringing

- Neck and shoulder tension

- Facial muscle tightness

Many clients find that stress, posture, teeth clenching, or previous injury are contributing factors.

Benefits of TMJ Massage Therapy:

Clients often experience profound improvements after a series of sessions, including:

Reduced jaw pain and tightness

Fewer headaches and facial tension

Improved jaw movement and function

Greater relaxation and stress relief

Better posture and body awareness

Enhanced overall sense of well-being

Holistic TMJ massage treatments are designed to release tension, improve alignment, and bring calm to the entire nervous system. Each session is tailored to your unique needs and may include:

- Targeted massage therapy for the jaw, neck, shoulders, and face

- Intraoral massage (if appropriate) to address deeper muscle tightness

- Myofascial release and trigger point therapy

- Postural and breathing awareness

- Relaxation techniques to calm the stress response

- Self-care guidance for home support

We take time to listen to your symptoms, assess contributing factors, and work with your body at a comfortable pace. 

Because we look at the whole person — not just the jaw —  treatments often help relieve tension patterns throughout the neck, shoulders, and upper back as well.
