Massage for Headache and TMJ Relief: Let Go of the Tension

Tension headaches, jaw clenching, and neck pain are deeply connected. Massage helps address the source, not just the symptoms.

Modern life places constant strain on the head, neck, and jaw. Long hours at a computer, unconscious clenching, stress, and poor posture all contribute to tight muscles that can trigger headaches, migraines, and TMJ discomfort.

At Nashville Massage Company, we provide targeted in-home massage sessions designed to release chronic tension patterns and help restore comfort, balance, and ease.

Why Massage Works for Headaches and TMJ

  • Releases tight muscles in the jaw, neck, shoulders, and scalp
  • Improves blood flow to the head and facial structures
  • Deactivates trigger points that refer pain to the temples and eyes
  • Calms the nervous system and reduces stress related tension
  • Supports healthier posture and muscle balance

Common Causes of Headache and TMJ Tension

  • Jaw clenching or teeth grinding
  • Extended screen use and forward head posture
  • Chronic stress or anxiety
  • Previous injury or alignment strain
  • Hormonal changes or dehydration
