Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)
People with TMJ pain often suffer from teeth grinding, which can further aggravate their jaw and facial pain. Bruxism can cause tooth damage, jaw muscle fatigue, and increased tension in the temporomandibular joint.
Sleep Problems
TMJ pain can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to frequent awakenings, discomfort during the night, and morning jaw soreness. Sleep problems can contribute to fatigue, mood disturbances, and decreased overall well-being.
Neck and Shoulder Tension
TMJ pain can radiate to the neck and shoulders, causing muscle tension and stiffness in these areas. Chronic neck and shoulder pain can impact mobility and contribute to discomfort throughout the day.
Stress and Anxiety
TMJ pain and the associated limitations can lead to increased stress and anxiety levels. The frustration of living with chronic pain and the impact on daily activities can take a toll on mental well-being.
PDTR is a specialized technique that focuses on stimulating specific proprioceptive receptors to restore proper proprioception and re-optimize muscle function. By activating deep tendon reflexes, this technique helps re-establish the communication between the nervous system and muscles, promoting stability, reducing pain, and aiding in the recovery of typical overuse injuries such as TMJ Pain.

NKT is a cutting-edge technique that identifies and corrects faulty movement patterns by addressing muscle imbalances and dysfunctional movement compensations. By using manual muscle testing and precise corrective exercises, NKT aims to reprogram the neuro-muscular system, promoting pain relief, improved stability, and enhanced athletic performance through strengthening exercises for individuals with a torn labrum.
Our specialized sports massage therapy combines various manual therapy techniques, including deep tissue massage and Swedish massage, to target muscle imbalances, reduce tension, and enhance recovery. By addressing the specific needs of athletes and active individuals, this comprehensive approach promotes optimal healing, restores functionality, and boosts your jaw’s resilience against repetitive use.

As an RMT, I will continue to offer high-quality therapeutic massage therapy treatments. In addition, with my additional education and training in functional neurology, I can offer patients an integrative approach that often has many longer-lasting benefits. Using a functional neurology-based therapy like P-DTR, we identify the movements that cause your symptoms, perform a specific treatment, retest the same movement after treatment, then provide you with the appropriate exercises for “homework” to solidify our results. Rest assured, I am also Certified and Licensed by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario.
I often hear from my patients that they have tried nearly everything to resolve their issues or meet their fitness goals. Since every case is unique, this is why I have an initial assessment appointment for first timer visitors. It allows me to understand the problem better, ask the proper questions, and recommend the best treatment for your needs.
TMJ massage is a specialized technique that focuses on relieving tension and dysfunction in the jaw, neck, and surrounding muscles. It can reduce pain, improve jaw mobility, and alleviate symptoms associated with TMJ disorders.
TMJ massage is performed by skilled therapists, like Tim, who use gentle and targeted techniques to alleviate pain and discomfort. While you may experience some tenderness during the session, the overall goal is to provide relief without causing further pain.
A TMJ massage session usually lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the severity of the condition and individual needs. Your therapist will assess your specific situation and recommend an appropriate duration.
The number of TMJ massage sessions needed varies depending on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. Some individuals experience relief after a few sessions, while others may require ongoing maintenance sessions for long-term management.

Absolutely. In fact, integrating TMJ massage with other complementary treatments or therapies can often yield even more comprehensive results.
