You May Be Clenching Your Jaw Without Realising

Many of us hold tension in our jaw — especially during times of stress, anxiety, or intense focus. This can lead to unconscious clenching or teeth grinding, often resulting in TMJ dysfunction.

Common symptoms include:

  • Clicking or popping when opening the mouth

  • Jaw pain or tightness

  • Headaches or neck tension

  • Pain when chewing or yawning


How TMJ Massage Helps

Our remedial massage therapist Rae offers intra-oral TMJ and buccal release techniques to relieve deep jaw tension. This hands-on treatment can:

  • Improve jaw mobility

  • Ease headaches and facial tightness

  • Reduce clenching and grinding at night

Clients often report feeling immediate relief and long-term benefits.
