The TMJ is a hinge joint connecting the lower jaw and the temporal bones located on each side of your head, directly in front of the ears. When healthy, the TMJ is flexible, allowing the jaw to move freely up and down, and side to side. In turn, this allows for easy chewing, speaking and yawning. When a person has TMJ disorder, the joint is stiff and any movement can be extremely painful. The disorder can also cause pain in the neck and headaches. A TMJ Massage will help to relieve the painful symptoms of TMJ disorders and get your jaw back to functioning as normal, eliminating pain, restoring jaw motion, and decreasing stress and tension.
