TMJ Therapy
Jaw pain, tension, headaches, or difficulty chewing can disrupt your day-to-day life—but relief is possible. Our skilled therapists offer targeted TMJ Therapy to release tension, improve jaw mobility, and restore comfort. These gentle, hands-on treatments help you feel more relaxed, functional, and in control of your body.
TMJ Health: Align Your Jaw, Ease Your Body
-
At Maliya, we recognize that no two experiences with TMJ dysfunction are the same.
We offer both biomechanics-focused and nervous system-focused approaches to care.
Depending on your symptoms, goals, and history, treatment may focus on improving jaw mechanics and movement patterns, addressing muscle tensions and postural influences, and/or supporting nervous system regulation.
-
• Reduces jaw pain, tension, and discomfort
• Relieves headaches and facial pain caused by TMJ dysfunction

• Supports proper bite and alignment
• Eases muscle tightness in the neck, shoulders, and face
• Promotes relaxation and reduces stress-related jaw clenching
• Helps prevent further strain or dysfunction in the jaw and surrounding muscles
• Enhances overall comfort and quality of life
Which TMJ Therapy would be the best fit?
-
Regulation of the nervous system and addressing underlying patterns contributing to tension and pain
Focuses on nervous system regulation and fascial tension patterns
Regulation and whole-body approaches
Addresses stress and protective patters
Ideal for chronic tension and stress-related symptoms
-
This specialized treatment takes a whole-body approach to jaw tension and mobility, recognizing that tension in the jaw can be connected to patterns throughout the body.
The protocol begins with hands-on work through the legs and hips, then progresses through the back, neck, shoulders and face, releasing areas of tension and restriction along the way.
The treatment concludes with intra-oral techniques. Using gloved hands, the therapist gently works the muscles inside the mouth to release deeper tension, improve jaw mobility and enhance the overall results of the treatment.
By addressing the body as a connected system rather than focusing solely on the jaw, their hands-on approach helps target underlying patterns of tension, leaving you feeling more relaxed, balanced and mobile.
