TMJ Pain Massage in Parkville

Find Relief for Jaw Tension

If you live with jaw tightness, clicking, or headaches connected to your TMJ (temporomandibular joint), you know how disruptive it can be. At Relief Massage Method in Parkville, we specialize in massage treatments that target the muscles and fascia around the jaw, face, and neck to bring comfort and restore balance.

What is TMJ Pain and Why Does it Happen?

TMJ pain comes from dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint, the small but powerful hinge that connects your jawbone to your skull. When the muscles or ligaments in this area become tense, inflamed, or misaligned, you may experience:

  • Jaw tightness or soreness

  • Clicking or popping when opening the mouth

  • Headaches or earaches

  • Difficulty chewing or speaking

  • Facial tension and clenching

Stress, posture, nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism), and injury are all common contributors to TMJ discomfort.

How Massage Helps with TMJ Dysfunction

Massage therapy is a gentle, non-invasive way to relieve TMJ pain. By reducing muscle tension, increasing circulation, and calming the nervous system, TMJ-focused massage can:

  • Ease jaw stiffness

  • Improve mobility and comfort

  • Reduce headache frequency and intensity

  • Relieve neck and shoulder tension linked to jaw pain

  • Support long-term stress reduction

At Relief Massage Method, each treatment is customized to your needs.

SomaFace℠ Techniques for Jaw and Facial Relief

Our approach integrates the SomaFace℠ Method, a specialized facial massage that addresses both external and intraoral structures. These techniques are designed to release tension in deep jaw muscles, encourage symmetry, and support relaxation across the face.

Unlike a standard massage, SomaFace℠ works precisely with the muscles responsible for clenching and grinding. This targeted care can make a profound difference for clients struggling with chronic TMJ discomfort.
