How Can Massage Help?
Massage can help heal and release the soft tissue (muscles), relieving the pain and reducing the symptoms caused by problems in and around the jaw joint. This is done by treating the trigger points and muscles around the jaw, neck and shoulders.
What is TMJ?
The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is a hinge joint that connects your mandible (jaw bone) to the temporal bone of your skull, and is located in front of your ear.
The joint, along with it’s associated muscles allows us to move our jaw up and down and from side to side to talk, eat, yawn, laugh etc.
Problems with the joint and it’s muscles are known as TMD (Temporomandibular 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, or simply fatigue from repeatedly grinding or clenching your teeth, regular massage therapy can make a difference.
