TMJ / Jaw Pain Relief
In Kennett Square, PA
Myofascial Release Therapy for Jaw Pain,
Headaches & TMJ Dysfunction
If you are experiencing jaw pain, clicking, headaches, facial tension, or limited mouth opening, you may be dealing with TMJ disorder.
At Touch of Light Health, I provide specialized Myofascial Release therapy for TMJ treatment in Kennett Square, PA, serving clients throughout the surrounding communities including Wilmington, DE, Chadds Ford, and West Chester.
TMJ dysfunction can be frustrating, persistent, and often misunderstood.
My approach focuses on addressing the underlying fascial restrictions that contribute to chronic jaw tension and pain.
Relief is possible.
What Is TMJ Disorder?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull. It allows you to chew, speak, yawn, and move your mouth comfortably.
When the joint and surrounding muscles become restricted or inflamed, symptoms may include:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking or popping sounds
- Difficulty opening the mouth fully
- Headaches or migraines
- Ear pain or pressure
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Facial tightness
- Teeth grinding or clenching
Many people try night guards, medication, or dental procedures but continue to experience recurring symptoms.
Often, the deeper fascial system has not been addressed.
Why TMJ Pain Often Persists
TMJ dysfunction is rarely just a joint issue.
The jaw is connected through the body’s fascial system —
a web of connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, nerves, and organs.
Causing restrictions in the:
- Neck
- Shoulders
- Upper back
- Chest
- Cranial structures
These restrictions can contribute to jaw pain and dysfunction.
Stress, trauma, and long-term clenching patterns also create unconscious muscular guarding.
Unless these deeper patterns are released, symptoms often return.
How Myofascial Release Helps TMJ
Using the John F. Barnes Method of Myofascial Release, I apply sustained, gentle pressure to release fascial restrictions in the jaw, head, neck, and upper body.
This therapy:
- Reduces jaw tension
- Improves range of motion
- Decreases headache frequency
- Relieves facial and neck pain
- Supports long-term structural balance
Unlike quick or superficial techniques, Myofascial Release works at a deeper level
to create lasting change rather than temporary relief.
Many clients report noticeable improvement within just a few sessions.
A Whole-Body Approach to Jaw Pain
Because the jaw does not function in isolation, TMJ treatment at Touch of Light Health often includes:
- Myofascial Release for the neck and shoulders
- Cranial and fascial work
- Postural evaluation
- Stress reduction support
- When appropriate, NLP or hypnosis to help reduce chronic clenching patterns
- Addressing both physical and stress-related contributors allows the body to reset more fully.
