What Is TMJ Massage & Facial Gua Sha?

 

TMJ Harmony is a therapeutic treatment that combines intraoral massage with facial Gua Sha to relieve pain and tension in the jaw, face, and neck. TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint—the hinge connecting your jaw to your skull. When this joint becomes tight or misaligned, it can cause discomfort, headaches, jaw clenching, and even stress-related migraines.

 

At KillaNuna Healing in Encinitas, we take a trauma-informed, intuitive approach to TMJ relief. Our session includes intraoral work (with gloves), slow-release facial massage, and Gua Sha strokes designed to support lymphatic drainage, circulation, and facial relaxation.
