Body Mechanics Orthopedic Masage Unveils An New Program Just for Treating TMJ

Online, July 31, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Body Mechanics Orthopedic Massage unveiled a new program today for those suffering from TMJ disorder. The treatment is a carefully designed one meant to meet the needs of those suffering from the debilitating pain from TMJ. It uses carefully chosen techniques for the head neck and shoulders to treat headaches and jaw pain. Traditional treatment in the past has often been aggressive with solutions like changing people's bites and oral surgery. Less aggressive treatments such as massage can often be damaging as well due to the inflammation and placement of the facial nerves in and around the face.

The program at Body Mechanics orthopedic massage is different from most massage therapy programs. Rather than trying rubbing the area, Orthopedic massage uses gentle releases to open the area up with out using pressure. The direction of force is often away from the face rather than towards it, and the client is in control of movements. They use a series of intra oral techniques with gloves and external techniques depending on the clients comfort. The work is a series of very gentle "fascia "techniques in and around the jaw that seek to facilitate the opening of the tissue with the greatest client comfort in mind. Opening up the tissue in this way allows the body to restore its natural function, and alleviates the need to rub tissue that is already aggravated and inflamed. Restoring blood flow and reducing inflammation can often be the first step in relief.

The TMJ Association says "Approximately 35 million people in the United States suffer from TMJ problems at any given time. While both men and women experience these disorders, the majority of those seeking treatment are women in their childbearing years. The ratio of women to men increases with the severity of symptoms, approaching 9 to 1 for patient with major limitations in jaw movements and chronic, unrelenting pain.'
