TMJ (Jaw) Massage

What is TMJ Massage?

The TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) is your Jaw joint, and can be a source of pain or dysfunction for many individuals.

TMJ & Headache Massage is a specific treatment focused on reducing pain, tension, and movement dysfunction related to the jaw, head, neck, and shoulders.

This approach uses specialized assessment and treatment techniques to address the muscles involved in jaw movement, including those affected by clenching, grinding, and postural strain. Treatment may include both external and intraoral techniques to support improved function, reduce discomfort, and restore more natural movement patterns.

How Does TMJ Massage Work?

TMJ treatment works by addressing both the local muscles of the jaw and the surrounding areas that influence its function, including the neck and shoulders.

Treatment may be helpful when:

  • Jaw movement feels restricted, painful, or uneven

  • Headaches are linked to muscle tension or jaw activity

  • Clenching or grinding is creating ongoing discomfort

  • There is a need to improve coordination and function of the jaw

Sessions are adapted to your symptoms, contributing factors, and overall movement patterns.

Who may Benefit from TMJ Massage?

TMJ & Headache Massage may be beneficial for:

  • Individuals experiencing jaw pain, stiffness, or clicking

  • Those who clench or grind their teeth (bruxism)

  • People with tension-related headaches or facial pain

  • Individuals with neck and shoulder tension contributing to jaw discomfort

  • Anyone noticing limited or uncomfortable jaw movement

  • People who experience chronic migraines 

*TMJ Massage may not be suitable for everyone. Please ensure all relevant health information is shared during your intake and discussed with your RMT so your treatment can be safely and appropriately tailored to you.*
