5 Benefits of Visiting a TMJ Massage Therapist
Sure, you’ve done your research on the internet but how do you know if TMJ massage therapy is best for treating your pain? Here are five benefits for visiting a TMJ massage therapist:
1. You’ll learn the source of pain
The role of a TMJ massage therapists is to discover exactly where your pain is originating and treat it – they’re sort of a TMJ Detective. They will ask you questions about the pain and investigate the muscles around your jaw, face, neck, shoulders, and back. It’s very possible the pain is not located in the jaw, but rather being referred from the jaw to another location.
2. You’ll be set up for success
Our massage therapist will create a comprehensive plan for you to get rid of your pain long term. This plan can include exercises you can do at home or at work, foods to eat during treatment or an extended therapy plan that will treat and reduce your TMJ discomfort.
3. You’ll feel the difference after one visit
While we recommend multiple sessions with our team to truly treat and reduce your TMJ pain, one visit can still make a difference. We’ll identify the root cause and apply specific massage techniques that will have you noticing an improvement and relief from symptoms.
4. You’ll be one with “The Force”
A TMJ massage specialist will use “the force” to help you relax. Together with the massage it will increase the circulation of blood within the body and restore muscular flexibility, helping you feel better immediately.
5. You’ll receive a holistic approach
We recognize the importance of working with other medical specialists to help you get to the bottom of your pain. Collaborating with neurologists, dentists, or physical therapists will help you to find a treatment plan that works for you and set you on the path to a speedy recovery.
