Massage of the
masticatory muscles

Relief for jaw pain, tension, and masticatory dysfunction.

Do you suffer from grinding, jaw pain, or tightness when biting?

Nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism) and unconscious jaw clenching during the day are the most common causes of strain on the masticatory muscles. If prolonged, this strain can cause jaw pain, headaches, tension in the face and temples, and symptoms in the neck and shoulder area.

The masticatory muscles and jaw joints form a complex system whose functioning is closely linked to stress, strain, and physical recovery. When muscle tension persists for a long time, symptoms may develop gradually and easily go unnoticed.

Massage of the masticatory muscles focuses on reducing muscle tension, calming the jaw and bite, and supporting normal, pain-free movement.

  • relief of muscle tension and pain
