Self-Therapy for the TMJ and Jaw
TMJ Dysfunction affects more people than most therapists would expect. The jaw clenchers and teeth-grinders of the world are numerous, and you may even be one of them! In addition, TMJD is often involved with Neck pain, and it can be a major factor in headaches, including migraines!

Many people with TMJD do not realize that their jaw muscles are the source of their symptoms. And if they do, they don’t know that their symptoms can often be treated successfully with effective massage techniques. In between DIT for TMJ and Neck sessions, clients can help themselves maintain relief and keep the Jaw structures from excess tightening and stressing.
The focus of this class is to provide a TMJD home program that you can use for yourself and teach your clients to do for themselves between massage sessions. Relieving chronically tight jaw muscles a little bit every day helps to reprogram them to a more relaxed ‘normal’. Clients receive dramatic relief from the therapist, they can help maintain that relief, and they refer lots of other people to get similar relief from chronic pain. It’s a win-win!
TMJ Self-Therapy helps you and your clients to build more body awareness, so that you know when you’re clenching your jaw. Doing the home program at night before bed also helps lessen the tendency toward clenching and teeth grinding while sleeping. The result is that you feel more refreshed when you wake up. And the tendency toward headaches is lessened or eliminated, too.
In this class, you will learn a specific combination of myofascial, neuromuscular, and cranial-sacral techniques for relieving tight TMJ and Jaw muscles and fascia – a blend of deep and gentle techniques that are very effective when used together.
“The instructions were easy to follow and interesting. I have had 2 previous TMJ workshops, but this was the best and most beneficial.” ~ Brenda
