TMJ Massage

Many people suffer with jaw pain, whether it be from clenching, grinding or Tempomandibular joint disorders. A few minutes of neck work at the beginning or end of a massage isn’t enough to reduce or eliminate the pain and tension of these conditions. In this course you will review the structures impacted by these conditions. Through lecture, discussion, and hands on work you will learn a variety of modalities and treatments that will greatly reduce or eliminate the pain your TMJ clients live with. Finally, you will learn self care techniques, and how to teach them, that will help your clients manage their condition when they leave your office.
