About the treatment
A targeted 45 minute session for the temporomandibular joint and surrounding muscles. We address the jaw, temples, cheeks, upper neck, and (with your consent) intraoral trigger points inside the mouth using gloved hands — the most effective way to release the deep jaw musculature responsible for clenching, grinding, and tension headaches. Especially helpful for clients with TMJ dysfunction, bruxism, chronic jaw pain, or referred ear and temple pain.
Benefits
- Eases jaw clenching and grinding
- Reduces tension headaches and temple pain

Contraindications

- Open sores or infection inside the mouth
What to expect
Intraoral work is always optional and only performed with your explicit consent, using fresh gloves. Let your therapist know if you have a diagnosed TMJ condition or dental work in progress.
