@iri.spa8: Why Buccal Massage Works for TMJ Relief TMJ pain is often caused by tightness in the masseter and pterygoid muscles — the strongest chewing muscles, located inside the mouth. Most external treatments (like face massage, jaw stretches, or even Botox) only work on the outside, which means the real source of tension often goes untouched. Buccal massage targets the root of TMJ discomfort by working intraorally — directly on the muscles responsible for clenching, grinding, and jaw locking. By manually releasing these internal muscles, we can: Reduce jaw tension and clicking Improve bite alignment and mobility Relieve headaches and ear pressure caused by TMJ dysfunction Train the nervous system to stop over-clenching It’s not just relaxation — it’s targeted muscular correction from the inside out. #tmj#buccalmassage #lymphatic drainage
