Massage Therapy with TMJ focus

Tension in the jaw can affect more than just your bite—it can contribute to headaches, facial discomfort, difficulty opening the mouth, and overall stress and fatigue. Many clients seek treatment after struggling for months (or years) with symptoms related to TMJ dysfunction (temporomandibular joint issues), including pain while chewing, clicking, or jaw locking.

At Common Ground Health & Wellness, our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) are trained in intra-oral TMJ massage therapy, a specialized technique that allows for direct treatment of the muscles inside the mouth—alongside external work on the jaw, neck, shoulders, and face. When appropriate and with your full informed consent, this approach may help reduce muscular tension, support jaw mobility, and ease related symptoms such as tension headaches.

Clients often tell us they finally feel understood—and experience meaningful relief—after trying other treatments that didn’t quite address the root cause. This is slow, precise, and compassionate work that meets you where you’re at. We’re here to support your comfort, your boundaries, and your goals every step of the way.

A signed intra-oral consent form is required prior to this treatment. Covered by most extended health insurance plans.
