Releasing Jaw Tension: How RMT TMJ Therapy Can Help

TMJ Massage Therapy in North York, Toronto. Find Relief with RMT Treatments

Our TMJ therapy is part of Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) and is often covered by extended health insurance.

If you’re struggling with jaw pain, tension headaches, or clicking when you open your mouth, you may be experiencing TMJ dysfunction. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most active joints in the body, and when it’s out of balance, it can impact much more than just your jaw.

What Is TMJ Massage Therapy?

TMJ massage therapy is provided by Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) who specialize in treating jaw pain and dysfunction. By applying gentle, targeted techniques to the jaw, neck, and shoulders, RMTs can release muscle tension, restore proper movement, and reduce discomfort.

In many cases, treatment also includes safe and precise intraoral massage techniques (performed with gloves), which target deeper muscles such as the masseter and pterygoids, common culprits of TMJ pain.

Symptoms TMJ Massage Can Relieve

• Jaw pain, stiffness, or tightness

• Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw joint

• Difficulty chewing or speaking comfortably

• Tension headaches and migraines

• Neck and shoulder tension

• Ear ringing or pressure

  
  

Why Choose an RMT for TMJ Therapy?

Because TMJ therapy is offered under RMT services, it may be eligible for coverage under your extended health benefits plan. This makes it both an effective and affordable option for long-term relief.

Registered Massage Therapists are trained not only to address immediate discomfort but also to identify related muscle imbalances and postural issues that may be contributing to TMJ dysfunction.

What to Expect from a TMJ Massage Session

Your session will begin with an assessment of your jaw movement and surrounding muscles. Treatment may include:

• External massage around the jaw, temples, and neck

• Gentle intraoral massage techniques

• Relaxation of shoulder and upper back muscles to support jaw alignment

Many clients feel noticeable relief after the first session, with deeper, lasting results achieved through a series of treatments.

The Benefits Go Beyond Jaw Pain. By addressing tension at the TMJ, clients often experience improvements beyond the jaw itself:

• Reduced headaches and migraines

• Better posture and alignment

• Improved sleep quality

• A greater sense of overall relaxation
