TMJ release therapy is a targeted massage technique focused on relieving pain and tension in the temporomandibular joint, providing a vital service for individuals in Nazareth, PA experiencing TMJ disorders. At Willomoon Massage & Wellness, our trained therapists use this method to improve jaw function, reduce associated headaches, and support overall well-being, embodying our holistic approach that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit through personalized care.
How It’s Done: Our therapist applies gentle, controlled pressure and stretching techniques to the jaw muscles, including the masseter, temporalis, and surrounding areas, with each session lasting approximately 30, 60 or 90 minutes. This process involves identifying and releasing trigger points, enhancing circulation, and restoring proper jaw alignment. The treatment is fully customized to your comfort level and specific tension areas, ensuring a therapeutic experience that addresses both immediate relief and long-term jaw health.
Benefits: TMJ release therapy offers substantial relief from jaw pain, decreases the frequency of tension headaches, and enhances jaw mobility, making daily activities more comfortable. A 2018 study in the Journal of Oral Rehabilitation showed that massage therapy significantly reduced pain and improved function in patients with TMJ disorders. It also aids in stress reduction by relaxing the facial and neck muscles, contributing to overall mental health.
Supporting Research: The Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies provides further evidence, noting that regular TMJ massage sessions improved jaw mobility and reduced discomfort.
