Myofacial Therapy for TMJD Relief

TMJ dysfunction can be very cumbersome to everyday life, causing many to resort to medication to mask the pain. With Myofacial Release Therapy, I go after the tension in the muscular structure of the jaw to provide relief.

Myofacial Release & TMJ Therapy involves releasing tension throughout the face, jaw, scalp, neck and shoulders with light pressure point treatment. It also includes lesser known muscles such as the Masseter, Lateral and Medial Pterygoids, Temporalis, Tongue, and more.

How it Works

Myofacial Therapy for TMJD Relief involves intraoral work where muscles are treated inside the mouth (masseter, pterygoids and tongue). The first time can be a bit awkward and uncomfortable, but most people get use to it after one or two sessions, resulting in relaxation and relief.

Working on these muscles directly is very effective in releasing tension, which aids in pain, stiffness as well as deferred pain to other parts of the body which stems from TMD. The first time might leave the client a bit sore and stiff in the jaw, tongue and neck since these areas are not used to being manipulated manually. However, this does not last long and generally stops after a few treatments.

The neck and shoulders also get released to improve range of motion and head posture. Note that this is not an overnight process, but most people see significant results after a few quick succession treatments. Once or twice a week is optimal in the beginning.

Testimonials

I was in so much pain when I finally looked for help. The tmj massages are so incredibly helpful and have helped my jaw, neck and back pain so much. I recommend to anyone that doesn’t want to live in pain anymore. - Julie

I’ve heard about TMJ but had no idea what it is. I knew it helps with jaw muscles but that’s about it. Been dealing with jaw issues for a long long time and had to seek help when it got really bad. One session and relief was quite noticeable. Ru makes you feel comfortable and awkwardness of the process goes away very quickly. Highly recommend to everyone. - Nina

If I could do this every day I would. Feel like a new person with new face. Thank you SO much for helping me feel better, Ru Martins! - Kate

1st session, but definitely not my last! Very comfortable and relaxed environment. I finally have movement in my shoulders (which typically seem to be perpetually locked), and my tense jaw (from TMJ) has loosened and my headache is gone! Definitely recommend!! - Ariel

Ru Martins is amazing! I’ve been using his services for over a year. He’s helped me with my multiple health disorders including TMJ and Fibromyalgia. He’s even taking classes to further learn how massage therapy can help with my Fibromyalgia. How awesome is that?! I’ve never been so comfortable or confident with any health care provider. I’ve taken advantage of both his home visit service and his mobile option. The pricing he offers is incredibly affordable and much less than your traditional massage, plus he customizes each session to fit your needs. I have recommended Ru to everyone I know and he’s always exceeded their expectations. As long as his hands work, I won’t go to anyone else! - Marki
