Jaw tension can extend beyond the jaw itself. The muscles involved in chewing and facial movement connect with surrounding areas of the head, neck, and shoulders. Stress, clenching, grinding, posture, and everyday muscle tension may contribute to discomfort in these areas.

TMJ & Upper Body Therapeutic Massage focuses on the jaw, face, neck, shoulders, and upper back. Your therapist uses gentle, targeted techniques based on your comfort level and the areas that are bothering you.

This massage may be a good fit if you are experiencing:

• Jaw tightness or muscle fatigue
• Facial or jaw muscle discomfort
• Frequent tension headaches
• Tightness in the temples
• Neck and shoulder tension
• Stress-related jaw clenching

The Jaw Ball Method uses specialized massage balls and targeted techniques to work with areas of muscular tension around the jaw and face. The approach may also include the neck, shoulders, and upper back, where people commonly hold additional tension.

By focusing on these connected areas, massage may help relax tight muscles, promote circulation, and support more comfortable jaw movement.

If you frequently catch yourself clenching your jaw, wake up with jaw tension, or notice that stress seems to increase your symptoms, this focused massage may provide a relaxing way to address muscular tension.

Massage therapy is not intended to diagnose or treat TMJ disorders. Persistent, severe, or worsening jaw pain should be evaluated by an appropriate dental or medical professional.
