Our TMJ Intra oral massage combined with myofascial release is designed to help relieve symptoms from TMJ disorders by reducing muscle tension in areas surrounding and connected to the TMJ such as:
• Facial muscles • Neck • Scalp • Upper back • Shoulders • Collar bone
This specialized massage will then focus on the muscles of mastication (masseter, temporalis, lateral pterygoid, medial pterygoid). Some of the above listed muscles are located inside the mouth, therefore the therapist (in most cases) will continue the session with an intra oral massage (wearing medical exam gloves) by slowly & gently massaging those specific muscles to alleviate tension and achieve enhanced outcomes in alleviating symptoms of TMJD.
We aim to optimize relief and promote overall well-being. Our tailored massage services and expertise in intra oral massage therapy are designed to address symptoms of TMJ disorders comprehensively, ensuring a holistic and effective approach.
What is TMJ?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) acts like a sliding hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull and sits just in front of the ears. This joint can move by opening and closing the mouth and a gliding motion back and forth and side to side. It is the most used joint in the body and plays a major role in our ability to talk, eat & swallow. Any disorder of this joint can be excruciating & lead to severe joint and muscle pain as well as other problems which can affect our daily lives.
What are Symptoms of TMJ dysfunction?
- Pain & tension in the jaw muscles
- Clicking, popping, locking or deviation of the jaw
- Difficulty closing the jaw
- Headaches and migraines
- Pain in the neck & shoulders
- Ear pain, dizziness, fullness, pressure, ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- A bite that feels “off ”
- Pain when chewing, yawning or biting
You can highly benefit from a TMJ massage therapy if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above or simply after a long dental procedure.
What are the common causes TMJ Dysfunction (TMJD)?
- Clenching the teeth or grinding (bruxism)
- Trauma from a sport or an accident
- Poor posture
- Damage to teeth causing tooth loss or misalignment of the bite
- Overuse such as with gum chewing & biting nails
- People who are required to talk a lot for work or singers.
- Various types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
One of the contributing factors to TMJ disorders is a high- stress & anxiety level. When you’re feeling stressed, you might clench or grind your teeth both during the day and when you’re asleep… As a result your muscles of mastication can become over tense from being contracted for long periods of time.
Our approach to TMJ disorders
TMJ (Intra oral) release massage therapy combined with myofascial release.
At WELLNESS PRIVÉ, we adhere to the philosophy that the body functions as a unified entity. Consequently, when addressing temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD), we adopt an integrative approach that encompasses both the mind and body aspects. This ensures a comprehensive and holistic method in managing TMJD for our clients.
We start by gathering information about your health & symptoms to ensure that we tailor a TMJ (intra oral) release massage session that can respond to your specific needs. We then make an assessment and have you do different movements in order to evaluate your range of motion & limitations.
The massage treatment starts by releasing muscle tension in areas surrounding and connected to the TMJ such as: Facial muscles, neck, scalp, upper back, shoulders & collar bone.
This specialized massage will then focus on the muscles of mastication (masseter, temporalis, lateral pterygoid, medial pterygoid). Some of the above listed muscles are located inside the mouth, therefore the therapist (in most cases) will continue the session with an intra oral massage (wearing medical exam gloves) by slowly & gently massaging those specific muscles to alleviate tension and achieve enhanced outcomes in alleviating symptoms of TMJD.

I am not usually one who can lie still for a long period of time, but in this case time flies as I feel better with each minute that passes.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.chana devorah Grunwald2024-08-21Ness was amazing. The session was informative, empowering, relaxing and super helpful. My child, whose jaw had been locked and painful for months walked out with an ability to open their mouth fully without pain. It was wondrous.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Angelica Merivia2024-08-11Amazing massage received today by Ness! Feel like a new person.

Ness and Vanessa at Wellness Privé were (dare I say) basically perfect. It was my first time getting a massage after 9 years, so I wasn't used to the process and was a bit apprehensive. I saw Ness (who was referred to me by my doctor) for a TMJ disorder massage because of severe headaches and a clicking in my jaw. I made that first appointment out of necessity, but I'll book again for my soul: birthday gift, new year's reset... I think I'm hooked.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.juan camilo jaimes santamaria2024-07-29Pretty good the massage, Joelle was really amazing!

Son expertise et son attention aux détails ont vraiment fait une différence. Bien que certains moments aient été douloureux (c'est exactement ce dont j'avais besoin pour relâcher mes tensions), la séance en soi a été relaxante et j’ai ressenti une nette amélioration de mes tensions musculaires et un grand soulagement après la séance. C'était ma deuxième séance avec Joelle, et je suis de nouveau impressionnée par son professionnalisme, ses mains magiques et sa grande gentillesse. Je n'hésiterai pas à revenir pour d'autres séances et à recommander ses services à mes amis et ma famille. Encore merci pour tout!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.sandra soussana2024-07-18Première fois que je me fais masser depuis très très très longtemps! J’ai adoré! Pendant ce moment de détente, j’ai relaxé et complètement lâché prise. Toutes mes tensions ont disparu. Joelle est attentionnée, douce, ferme, à l’écoute de tous mes maux et besoins et a pris le temps de répondre à toutes mes questions. Elle m’a mise à l’aise dès les premières minutes. Je vous la recommande fortement, c’est clair que je retourne la voir! Merci encore Joelle pour tout, je suis bien contente de t’avoir rencontrée!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 187 reviews
