TMJD (Intra-Oral) Buccal Massage

TMJD (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) Intra-Oral Buccal Massage is a targeted treatment for people experiencing tension, discomfort, or dysfunction in the jaw, face, head, and neck.

This massage works both externally (on the face) and intra-orally (inside the mouth)—using gloved hands to treat the muscles that can’t be reached from the outside alone.

30 mins - $65.00
45 mins - $90.00
60 mins - $110.00

TMJD massage can be booked as a standalone 30-, 45-, 60-minute session, or combined with a full body therapeutic massage.

For chronic TMJ issues, a series of sessions is often recommended—your therapist can guide you on frequency based on your needs.

This treatment is ideal for people experiencing:

- Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
- Jaw pain or soreness, especially while chewing or talking
- Frequent tension headaches or migraines
- Facial pain or tightness
- Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
- Neck tension related to jaw dysfunction
- Post-dental procedure recovery (after braces, implants, etc.)

Your therapist will work on a combination of external and internal muscles involved in jaw function, including:

Masseter – located on the side of the jaw, often the source of clenching pain

Temporalis – a broad muscle on the side of the head involved in chewing

Pterygoids (internal muscles) – accessible only through intra-oral work; they play a major role in jaw movement and are often tight in TMJD

Neck & shoulder muscles – often compensating for jaw dysfunction and tension

A brief intake to understand your symptoms and medical history

A professional, sanitary environment—gloves are worn for all intra-oral work

Slow, specific massage techniques applied to both outside and inside the cheek/jaw

Gentle stretches and releases to improve jaw alignment and relieve tension

Clear communication throughout the session to ensure your comfort

This is a non-invasive, highly effective therapy that often brings noticeable relief after just one session, especially when done as part of a treatment plan.

“I had no idea how much tension I was holding in my jaw until I had this massage. It made a huge difference in my headaches and how I sleep.”
