Head Massage & Tension Associated with Bruxism
A Moment of Relaxation for the Head, Neck and Jaw
Ornouma offers a manual treatment specifically focused on relaxing the head, face, jaw and neck.
Bruxism is characterised by clenching or grinding of the teeth, during sleep or sometimes during the day. It can be accompanied by tension in the jaw, face, temples or neck. Stress and anxiety can also contribute to or perpetuate these tensions.
Through slow movements, pressure, friction and various massage techniques, this treatment promotes a deep sense of relaxation and release of tension.
Targeted work on the jaw
For people experiencing significant jaw tension, Ornouma may also use an intraoral manual technique.
Performed using single-use gloves, this technique involves carefully working on certain accessible muscle areas from inside the mouth.
It complements the external massage of the jaw, face, temples and neck.
This approach may feel unusual during the first session. The procedure is therefore explained beforehand and is carried out only with the client’s consent.
This technique is one of the manual approaches Ornouma learned during her training with a Thai massage master.
The treatment may include
- Scalp massage
- Relaxation of the face and temples
- External work on the jaw muscles
- Neck and cervical massage
- Intraoral work using gloves, when appropriate and with the client’s consent
- Shoulders, back, neck and trapezius
- Gua Sha | stone massage tool
