Massage Therapy and TMJ
As practicing massage therapists we have had outstanding success using massage therapy to treat clients suffering from TMJ. When treating for TMJ we first focus on the back, shoulders and pectoral muscles utilizing deep tissue massage and stretching to help correct postural imbalances. Next a considerable amount of deep work is done on the neck including soft tissue release, stretching and muscle stripping.
Certain muscles of the face are addressed such as masseter, temporalis and digastric to help relax the jaw. Lastly if needed oral massage is given. With a gloved hand we work to remove trigger points from the masseter, buccinators and tension from the temporomandibular joint itself. This type of massage can be very gratifying for the client. They are able to feel effects instantly. Massage therapy works wonders for people suffering from TMJ and is enhanced when coupled with other therapies such as acupuncture and relaxation techniques.
