TMJD (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction)
CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Massage Therapy for TMJ
The Jaw Joint is technically referred to as the Temporomandibular Joint. It is situated in front of the ear and attaches the lower jaw to the skull. The joint is tasked with helping you open and close your mouth, chew, and speak. Improper functioning can be very painful and lead to headaches, followed by restricted mandibular movement and even noises from the temporomandibular joint movement.
The Good News is that Massage Can Help!
At Optimal Wellness, Our team of experts will perform Massage therapy for TMJ to alleviate the symptoms and causes of TMJ. This is often done by restoring balance in the muscles in the face, neck, and jaw. A crooked pelvis that is in close proximity to the spine is often where tight muscles begin.

What is TMJD?
Think of the TMJ as a sliding hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. Improper functioning of this very important joint will always lead to pain and discomfort. Jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and clicking and locking of the jaw joint are some of the symptoms.
Lifestyle habits and stress are known contributors to tight muscles, and the case is no different for TMJD. If you suffer from excessive stress or grind your teeth, your tight muscles can become even tighter.
Chewing gum, poor posture, reading in bed, cradling a phone between your ear, sitting at a desk are just a few other activities that contribute to TMJD by straining your neck and shoulders.
Here is how our therapies can alleviate TMJD symptoms:
- Relaxing the muscles in the face
- Restoring balance in the muscles in the neck & jaw
- Restore healthy tissue quality in both muscle and fascia around the affected area
