TMJ Massage Therapy
Jaw pain, clicking, headaches, and facial tension can make everyday activities like eating, talking, and even sleeping uncomfortable. TMJ Massage Therapy focuses on the muscles of the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders that commonly contribute to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. At Brantford Therapeutic Massage, every treatment begins with a thorough discussion of your symptoms and goals. Your Registered Massage Therapist will create an individualized treatment plan using gentle, effective techniques to help reduce muscle tension, improve jaw movement, and relieve pain. Where clinically appropriate and with your informed consent, intraoral massage
techniques may also be used.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you perform intraoral massage?
Do you perform intraoral massage?
Yes, when it is clinically appropriate and you provide informed consent. Intraoral techniques allow the therapist to access muscles inside the mouth that cannot be reached externally and can be very effective for certain TMJ conditions. Your comfort and privacy are always respected, and this technique is never required.

Can massage therapy help with jaw clicking and clenching?

This massage clinic is very nice. It is calm, quiet, and soothing. The staff are friendly and professional. The massage therapist I regularly see is very skilled and comes across as passionate about her chosen profession. I have been helped immensely by the treatments I've received. The location is easy to find. The parking lot is a decent size, I've never had a challenge finding a spot.
I had a fantastic massage, my therapist really focused on the area of concern, was very attentive and understanding of what I was after with a massage. Would highly recommend.
I had my first massage here today and it was the best massage clinic I’ve been to! The inside is so fancy and fresh looking. The atmosphere is very clean and professional, and my massager, Natalie, was so kind and amazing! She is a lovely person and is really good at her job. I highly recommend!
Laura is one of a kind! I’ve been seeing her for lymphatic drainage for the past two years, and she has been an absolute blessing in my wellness journey. From the very first session, she made me feel so comfortable with her warm energy and kind soul...I couldn’t be more grateful for her care. If you’re considering lymphatic drainage, I can’t recommend Laura enough—she is truly an angel!!
It's always a great experience at Brantford Therapeutic! Karen is an excellent massage therapist—she's incredibly knowledgeable and did an amazing job relieving my lower back tension. I left feeling much better, with noticeably improved mobility. Highly recommend!
"LOVE BTM!!!! I started with them in 2018 when I was pregnant with my first child and have never left. The quality of care they provide is top notch, the clinic atmosphere is one of a kind and everyone is so great at what they do. I would highly recommend them"
"Courtney is fabulous! She is friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Her massages are always lovely."
"I had severe shoulder and neck pain for over a week when I booked my massage with Natalie, and I’m so glad I did. I was able to get an appointment within a couple of days, and Natalie was amazing from start to finish. She quickly understood exactly where the pain and tension were and focused on those areas as we discussed. I felt noticeably lighter right after the session, and just a few days later, the pain is almost completely gone. The place itself was very clean and cozy, and I really liked the calm, relaxing ambiance. Highly recommend!"
"After dealing with a chronic lower back injury for over 30 years, massage therapy has become an essential part of my healthcare routine. I recently started seeing Michael Kissner at BTM, and it has been a game-changer. Michael incorporates range-of-motion techniques that I’ve never experienced in decades of treatment. This unique approach has made a profound difference in my pain management and overall well-being—both physically and mentally. I cannot recommend him highly enough!"
