TMJ Massage Calgary

Experiencing jaw muscle tension, facial tightness or discomfort around your temporomandibular joint (TMJ)? At Joy & Vitality Centre, Alberta Allard, Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), provides personalized TMJ-focused massage in Calgary. With 17 years of massage therapy experience and more than 40 years working in healthcare, Alberta offers a gentle, individualized approach to jaw and surrounding muscle tension.

What Is TMJ-Focused Massage?

The temporomandibular joints connect your lower jaw to your skull and help you speak, chew and move your mouth. TMJ-focused massage uses targeted hands-on techniques to address muscular tension around the jaw, face, temples and neck. Depending on your needs, Alberta adjusts the pressure and techniques to maintain your comfort.

Benefits of TMJ Massage

TMJ massage may help ease tightness in the muscles involved in chewing and jaw movement. In addition, gentle work around the face, temples, neck and shoulders may improve muscular comfort. People who experience jaw clenching or tension associated with everyday stress may also appreciate this focused approach. However, persistent jaw pain, locking or significant changes in jaw movement should be assessed by an appropriate healthcare professional.

TMJ Massage in Our Himalayan Salt Cave

Your TMJ-focused massage takes place inside our Himalayan Salt Cave at Joy & Vitality Centre in Calgary SE. During the session, our halogenerator disperses fine dry salt particles into the cave air as part of active halotherapy. Meanwhile, Alberta focuses on your jaw and surrounding muscles in a quiet, relaxing environment.
