MYOFASCIAL RELEASE FOR JAW (TMJ) & UPPER BODY
Jaw tension and discomfort can arise from muscle overuse, clenching, teeth grinding (bruxism), or postural habits, and may contribute to a range of symptoms such as:
- Headaches/migraines
- Sinus issues
- Facial muscle pain
- Ear problems
- Tension or pain in the neck, shoulder and upper to lower back
- Stress-induced tension
- Limited mouth opening
- Chronic jaw pain
- Clicking and/or popping of the jaw
- Toothaches from constant clenching
This targeted treatment incorporates a combination of remedial massage techniques such as Myofascial Release, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Neuromuscular Therapy (MET), and Intraoral Myofascial Release. It focuses on relieving soft tissue tension in the jaw, face, head, and upper body, with the aim of promoting balance, mobility, and relaxation.
Intraoral Buccal Myofascial Release
As part of this approach, gentle, gloved work May be performed inside the mouth to address tension in deeper jaw and vacial muscles. This technique supports soft tissue release, encourages lymphatic flow in the face and neck, and may contribute to a sense of lift, balance, and improved facial tone. Many clients also report a feeling of deep relaxation and spaciousness and ease following treatment.
This part of the treatment is entirely optional and can be excluded if preferred.
Clients may experience benefits such as:
- Improved sleep quality
- A feeling of spaciousness and ease in the underlying structures
- Reduced puffiness in the face and neck
- A greater sense of freedom and mobility in the jaw
- Eased sinus pressure and congestion
- Enhanced overall relaxation
- Increased blood flow to facial and jaw muscles
- Relief from tension and discomfort commonly associated with jaw clenching and muscle overuse
For optimal results, please attend your session without makeup.
