Targeted Jaw & TMJ Care
When these areas need more attention.
You might notice clenching through the day, a tired jaw when you wake up, or tension that reaches into your neck and shoulders. This session makes time to explore those areas together, with pressure and pacing shaped around your responses.
Focused attention
Time for detailed work around the jaw and face, alongside the neck and shoulders where helpful.
A collaborative pace
We check in, adjust, and make room for breaks. You can ask for a change or stop at any point.
More than one approach
External soft-tissue work, gentle movement, and optional intraoral work may be considered according to your needs.
Your first session
A clear conversation.
Thoughtful hands-on care.
We begin with what is bringing you in, what feels comfortable, and the areas you would like included. Your session can stay focused on the jaw or include more time for the neck, shoulders, and upper body.
The aim is to support comfort and ease of movement. There is no need to push through painful pressure, and no requirement to receive a particular technique.

A few questions.
Do I have to receive intraoral work?
No. We can work entirely outside the mouth. Intraoral work is an additional option with specific consent, and you can change your mind at any time.
Do I need a TMJ diagnosis?
No diagnosis is required to ask about massage for jaw tension. We will discuss what you are experiencing and whether bodywork is an appropriate starting point. Massage does not diagnose the cause of jaw symptoms.
Can we include my neck and shoulders?
Yes. This session considers those areas together, and we will agree on where to spend the time.
