An intra-oral massage is a specialized manual technique that addresses tension and pain by focusing on the muscles inside and outside the mouth.
Intraoral massage is a therapeutic approach that targets the muscles located both within and surrounding the mouth area. These specific muscles, often subject to significant use and stress, can become sensitive, tight, or overworked.
Key Aspects of Intra-Oral Massage:
- Manual Technique: It is performed using hands, often with gentle, intentional pressure and specific movements.
- Targeted Muscles: It specifically focuses on the muscles inside the mouth (intra-oral) and those outside surrounding the jaw and face.
- Addressing Muscle State: The technique acknowledges that these muscles are often sensitive, tight, and overworked due to activities like talking, chewing, and expressing emotions.
- Primary Goal: The main purpose is to use careful pressure and movements to relieve the built-up tension and alleviate associated pain in these areas.
This massage technique is often used to address issues related to jaw tension, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort, headaches, and other conditions linked to muscle tightness in the face and jaw.
