TMJ Massage

Service Description

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a hinge joint that connects your mandible (jaw bone) to the temporal bone of your skull, it is located in front of your ear. Problems with the joint and it’s muscles are known as TMD (Temporomandibula joint disorder) and can manifest as severe pain in the jaw itself or along the face, restricted jaw movements and noises such as clicking and popping from the TMJ during jaw movement. Massage can help address the cause of TMJ disorders, whether the pain comes from a jaw injury, simply fatigue or from repeatedly grinding or clenching your teeth, regular massage therapy can make a difference. During this treatment we will work the muscle in and around the jaw and the connecting neck and shoulder muscle that are often contributing to the tension.
