TMJ Massage
Description
The sensation can be quite intense/uncomfortable as we use these muscles regularly but do not often receive or self-administer massage there. TMJ massage starts with treatment of the upper back/shoulders, Collar bone, Chest & Neck. There are 2 main methods, the first being extra-orally, or outside of the mouth. When working outside, your therapist will focus on your chewing muscles around the face. The second method is intra-orally, or in the mouth. Prior to beginning intra-oral massage, your practitioner will put on a pair of gloves. Then will treat in between the cheek & teeth, with the muscles at the back of the mouth, outside of the teeth and on the area under the tongue.
