TMJ (Jaw Release)

What Is TMJ Jaw Release Massage?

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) jaw release massage is a specialised treatment designed to ease tension and pain in the jaw, face, head, and neck. This type of massage focuses on the muscles around the jaw joint that often tighten from stress, teeth grinding, clenching, or injury. By releasing these muscles, TMJ massage can reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and ease symptoms like headaches and jaw clicking.

Treatment Times & Focus Areas

• 30 minutes – Focused work on the jaw, face, and neck to relieve tension.

• 45 minutes – Extended treatment, perfect if you have ongoing TMJ issues or related tension headaches.

• Combination Option – TMJ massage can be integrated into a longer remedial massage session for a more holistic treatment.
