So, ask yourself:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you awake with a clenched, sore jaw, headache or toothache?<\/li>\n<li>Is your jaw area sensitive when you touch it?<\/li>\n<li>Do you have pain in the face, ear, jaw or mouth that is either constant or intermittent?<\/li>\n<li>Does your jaw \u201cclick,\u201d lock or spasm when you chew, eat, yawn or talk?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>TMJ often \u2013 unsurprisingly \u2013 is stress-related. \u201cBecause of the news cycles, the pandemic, increased prices at the supermarket and gas pump, supply chain slowdowns and much more, we are bombarded by stresses,\u201d says Spa Director Catherine Davalle. \u201cThe decompression you used to have to take a vacation and travel the world has been gone for several years now; people feel stuck and that\u2019s adding stress,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>After experiencing her own jaw aches and headaches, then asking Acqualina Spa therapists if guests requested TMJ relief, Spa Director Catherine Davalle set out to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/spa\/treatments\"><strong>TMJ Release Massage<\/strong><\/a> \u2013generally only available in a medical or chiropractic office; in fact, she knows of no other spa that offers it.\u00a0 It took Davalle and a small, specially trained team of Acqualina Spa therapists months to perfect the sequence: deep tissue techniques combined with myofascial release to deliberately relieve tightness in the upper back, then neck, pectoral, facial, quick intra-oral (with gloves) if the patient agrees, jaw muscles and scalp. \u00a0\u201cIntra-oral massage can be a little painful as we release the tension,\u201d says Davalle. \u201cIt\u2019s just a couple of minutes on each side to release the muscle tension and fascia if the patient wants it,\u201d she explains, \u201cand you\u2019ll get an even greater result in relieving TMJ symptoms,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>The 50-minute, $250 treatment includes the above. The 80-minute, $330 session adds a full-body massage to release overall body tensions that may affect TMJ.\u00a0\u201cWith this massage, I can get immediate relief and now I can manage my symptoms much better with regular sessions,\u201d says Davalle, who explains that the therapists give Acqualina clients facial exercises to continue muscular relaxation at home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis TMJ Release Massage is a very well-kept secret,\u201d says Davalle, \u201cand why we\u2019re one of the best spas in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leave headaches and jaw pain behind as Acqualina Spa introduces a revolutionary stress-relief therapy By Michelle Payer An astounding 10 million Americans suffer from TMJ (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) disorder \u2013 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":16402,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wellness"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Acqualina Spa Introduces TMJ Release Massage | Acqualina Lifestyle Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Experiencing TMJ symptoms &amp;
