TMJ pain can sneak up on anyone, turning everyday activities like conversations or meals into moments of discomfort. If you’ve faced the frustrating symptoms associated with temporomandibular joint dysfunction, you're not alone. From jaw clicks and headaches to facial tension, the search for quick relief can feel urgent.
Understanding TMJ Pain
TMJ pain isn't just a dental issue. It involves the temporomandibular joint and surrounding muscles. Factors such as stress, teeth grinding, and poor posture can contribute to this dysfunction. The symptoms can vary by individual but commonly include:
Persistent jaw pain or stiffness
Frequent headaches affecting daily life
Earaches that mimic infections
Limited jaw movement, like difficulty opening wide
Clicking or popping sounds during jaw movement
Many often resort to common pain relief methods like over-the-counter medications. However, these options often relieve symptoms without fixing the underlying problem, which can lead to ongoing discomfort.
Here’s what our guests at SUBLIME ESCAPE are saying about their buccal massage experience:
It was the first time that I had actually experienced full relief from my pain. I was literally in tears after my TMJ massage because it was the first time that I had actually experienced full relief from my pain. I was able to receive more in just 45 minutes than any doctor, chiropractor or medication has done in almost 10 years of suffering from fibromyalgia, chronic migraines and neck & jaw pain.

I have tmj problems that bother me from my jaw all throughout my neck and shoulders and upper back. Every time I visit Sublime Escape for a buccal facial I not only leave with my skin looking dewy and refreshed, but have weeks of lasting relief. Each massage has drained puffiness and rehydrated my face and neck. I feel like a new person leaving and recommend the service to anyone who also suffers from jaw issues. The room and aesthetic are as cozy as can be and I’ve always felt a sense of profound peace in the office.

This isn’t just a temporary fix — it’s a long-term solution that brings both immediate relaxation and lasting benefits as your muscles release all that built-up tension.
What happens during a Buccal massage session
Buccal massage engages the muscles of the jaw through the mouth. Here’s a breakdown of how the process works:
Skin Preparation & Cleansing: We start with a gentle yet thorough cleanse to remove impurities and prepare your skin to fully absorb the benefits of the treatment.
Katerina Summers TCFM (Therapeutic and Corrective Facial Massage): This is a facial massage I’ve carefully designed, combining therapeutic and corrective techniques. TCFM includes focused work on your shoulders, neck, and face to release tension, warm up soft tissues, and address both superficial and deep fascia.
The Signature Buccal Massage: We work both inside and outside your cheeks to release deep-seated tension in facial muscles. This technique is highly effective in addressing TMJ discomfort, jaw pain, and sinus congestion, while also lifting, toning, and sculpting your facial contours.
Sculpting & Detoxification: Using firm pressure, we focus on the lower jaw and neck muscles while incorporating lymphatic drainage techniques to promote detoxification and reduce puffiness.
Head Massage (essential step!): This massage helps alleviate headaches and release tension, plays a critical role in amplifying the lifting and firming benefits of the facial massage. It enhances sculpting effects and provides additional relief for TMJ-related tension.
Finishing Touches: We cleanse your skin once more and apply carefully selected products to complete your treatment, leaving your skin refreshed and radiant.
Benefits of Buccal Massage
Throughout my journey with buccal massage, I discovered numerous benefits that contributed to my well-being:
Immediate Relief: Many experience significant reductions in TMJ pain after just one session.
Muscle Tension Reduction: Targeting the tension in the jaw leads to relief from headaches, neck pain, shoulders.
Improved Joint Function: Ongoing treatments can restore proper function to the temporomandibular joint, improving overall comfort and mobility.
Decreased Stress Levels: The relaxation achieved during and after a session can lower stress levels, improving mental and emotional well-being.
