TMJ-focused massage addresses muscles of the jaw, face, neck and surrounding areas. Buccal massage involves gloved intraoral techniques that allow the RMT to work with muscles from inside the mouth. Intraoral work may be incorporated into both treatments when appropriate and with your consent.
No. Intraoral massage is completely optional. Your RMT will discuss the technique with you beforehand, and treatment can be performed using external techniques only if you prefer.
Massage therapy may help reduce tension in overworked jaw and facial muscles associated with clenching and grinding (bruxism). Treatment may also include the neck, shoulders, scalp and surrounding areas depending on your symptoms.
When treatment is provided by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), it may be eligible for coverage under your extended health plan. Coverage varies, so we recommend checking your individual plan.
