Intra-Oral Massage
Specialized relief for jaw tension & TMJ disorders
Intra-Oral Massage works muscles inside and outside the mouth, as well as the anterior and posterior neck. This treatment is beneficial for clients experiencing TMJ dysfunction due to clenching, grinding, a painful or clicking jaw, excess jaw tension, migraines, whiplash, strains from orthodontia, dental procedure after-effects, headaches, tinnitus, and chronic face and neck pain.
This technique can feel intense, but it is not necessarily painful — the muscles addressed are rarely touched, so they respond well to lighter pressure. Gloves are worn while working inside the mouth to release the muscles and fascia involved in chewing and clenching.
