TMJ (& facial massage)
Specialised treatments designed to ease TMJ discomfort, release facial tension, and restore harmony between body and mind.
What is TMJ?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull, allowing you to speak, chew, and yawn. When this joint or the surrounding muscles become strained or imbalanced, it can lead to temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
Common symptoms include:
Jaw pain or tenderness
Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
Headaches or migraines
Neck and shoulder tension
Teeth grinding or clenching (often linked to stress)
Why does TMJ happen?
TMJ issues are often linked to a combination of factors, including:
Chronic stress and tension (especially in the jaw and face)
Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
Poor posture (especially neck and shoulders)
Injury or overuse of the jaw
Emotional holding patterns in the face
How Can Massage Help?
Holistic facial and jaw massage focuses on releasing tension at its source, rather than just treating symptoms.
Massage therapy for TMJ can:
Reduce pain and muscle tightness
Improve jaw movement and range of motion
Relax overworked muscles (like the masseter and temporalis)
Break the cycle of tension and discomfort
Treatments with Gamze
Facial Cupping, TMJ & Wood Myofascial
A dual-technique treatment combining facial cupping with wood tool myofascial release. Cupping lifts and stimulates the skin to boost circulation and encourage lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and brightening the complexion, while the wooden tools work more deeply into the fascia of the face, jaw, and neck to release long-held tension patterns at their root. The TMJ element is carried out using external technique only.
The Jawsome Facial
A longer, more thorough facial treatment combining external massage with intraoral buccal technique, working the muscles of the face and jaw, from both outside and within the mouth. This dual approach reaches tension that facial massage alone can’t access, easing the effects of stress, clenching, and grinding while encouraging natural lift and a more relaxed, refreshed appearance.
The Jawsome Full Body Reset
An extended full-body holistic massage combined with intraoral and extraoral jaw release. This longer session allows time to work through both general body tension and the specific patterns that so often begin at, or radiate from, the jaw — leaving you completely reset, from head to toe.
The Jawsome Massage
A treatment focused on relieving jaw tension, clenching, and TMJ discomfort, using a combination of extraoral (external) and intraoral (inside the mouth) technique. Depending on individual needs and comfort, one or both approaches may be used during the session to release the muscles responsible for jaw pain, tightness, and restricted movement.
