Massage Therapy for (TMJ) Temporomandibular Joint
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction can cause jaw pain, headaches, neck tension, ear discomfort, and even dizziness. Our TMJ massage is designed to release muscle tightness in the jaw, face, neck, and surrounding structures that often contribute to these symptoms.
TMJ Massage
We frequently see that TMJ issues are connected to lymphatic stagnation. In fact, about 90% of our clients with TMJ concerns also benefit from lymphatic drainage. When fluid movement is restricted, swelling and tension can worsen jaw discomfort. By combining TMJ massage with lymphatic techniques, we can reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and encourage more efficient healing.
Benefits of TMJ Massage

Supports better alignment and function of the temporomandibular joint

What to Expect
Your session focuses on external massage techniques to the jaw, temples, scalp, neck, and shoulders. These areas often hold significant tension that contributes to TMJ pain. If lymphatic involvement is suspected, your therapist may recommend adding lymphatic drainage to maximize results.
