TMJ dysfunction can involve more than jaw pain — it may also connect to headaches, migraines, ear or temple discomfort, neck tension, clenching, and limited jaw movement. At Restorative Health and Wellness, Emily Boudwin uses neuromuscular massage therapy, restorative exercise, and over 15 years of hands-on clinical experience to address muscular tension patterns around the jaw, neck, head, shoulders, and upper body that may be contributing to TMJ symptoms.
