Jaw Pain & Tension: Understanding the Pattern
About this Event
A 90-minute hands-on community class at The House of Obba
Do you clench your jaw when you're stressed? Wake up with a sore jaw or headache? Grind your teeth at night? Carry tension in your face, neck, or shoulders?
Your jaw may be telling you something about the rest of your body.
Join The House of Obba for a 90-minute, hands-on class exploring jaw pain and tension, the muscles involved, and simple ways to support your body at home.
In this class, we'll explore:
- Why does my jaw hurt? Common causes of jaw pain and tension, including clenching, grinding, stress, posture, muscular tension, joint issues, and dental concerns.
- Different types of jaw pain. Learn how muscle-related, joint-related, dental, and referred pain can feel different.
- The anatomy of jaw tension. We'll explore the masseter, temporalis, pterygoids, and other muscles involved in jaw movement—including muscles in the neck and shoulders that can contribute to referred pain.
- What can actually help? Learn about the role of massage therapy, physical therapy, dental care, and other professional approaches.
- Self-therapy techniques. You'll be guided through gentle techniques you can use at home to help ease jaw and surrounding muscle tension.
- Your daily jaw reset. Leave with a simple routine you can incorporate into your everyday life.
This isn't about simply finding the sore spot and pushing harder.
It's about learning to recognize the patterns of tension throughout your body and understanding when your jaw may need support from somewhere else.
What You'll Leave With
You'll leave with a better understanding of your own jaw tension, practical self-care techniques, and tools you can begin using right away.
No previous anatomy or bodywork experience is necessary.
