INTRAORAL/EXTRAORAL MASSAGE

Intraoral/extraoral massage refers to massage inside or outside the mouth/jaw related to jaw pain and headaches. TMJ or temporomandibular joint dysfunction is a common condition treated using this therapy. When treating inside the mouth, the therapist will always wear dental gloves. If you suffer from bruxism (grinding of the teeth) or jaw clenching resulting in pain or chronic headaches please ask your therapist about this treatment.
