What Is Intra Oral Massage?

Intra oral Massage is massage of the muscles and soft tissue structures in and around the mouth and jaw.  In the state of Washington, massage therapists' scope of practice does not include massage of any body orifices.  The one exception is the mouth, but additional training and certification (called the Intra oral Endorsement) is required.  Fortunately, I (Jesse) am fully certified for intra oral massage.


Having someone massage the inside of your mouth is probably not something that has crossed your mind.  I know I didn’t know about Intra-oral Massage until I began school for Massage Therapy.  So why am I talking about this? Well I have been talking more and more about this type of work with clients recently.  Many have been coming in with symptoms such as clicking/popping of the jaw, headaches (upon waking), ringing in the ears and/or lock jaw (both closed and open).  My first question is always “Do you clench or grind your teeth?” The response is usually ‘yes’.  I then begin to explain the benefits of Massage Therapy when focused around the muscles of mastication (muscles that help us to chew our food). I find that many are hesitant to embark on such a treatment. It seems out of the ‘norm’.  However, it is a very effective way to decrease symptoms of pain, joint clicking and increase range of motion and circulation to the muscle tissue. Many of my clients have seen tremendous results with this treatment.


Along with Massage Therapy treatments, other health care modalities can help in managing/resolving problems associated with this very common issue. Much of our jaw clenching/grinding issues can stem from;

If either you have been diagnosed with TMD or have pain in the jaw, by the ears, forehead, back of the head, neck and shoulders you will benefit greatly. Many patients have been successfully treated for TMJ syndrome using Intra-Oral Massage Therapy, by using these specific massage techniques to the face, head, neck, jaw and oral cavity.

Adult night snow

Snow comprises individual ice crystals that grow while suspended in the atmosphere—usually within clouds—and then fall, accumulating on the ground where they undergo further changes. It consists of frozen crystalline water throughout its life cycle, starting when, under suitable conditions, the ice crystals form in the atmosphere, increase to millimeter size, precipitate and accumulate on surfaces, then metamorphose in place, and ultimately melt, slide or sublimate away. Snow means particles of frozen water vapor, a mass of this substance or something that resembles this substance, or is slang for cocaine or heroin. 성인야설

A Sexual Novel (야한소설)

Early History of Romance Novels Early romance novels featured heterosexual, white female protagonists either defying social conventions or overcoming personal struggles in pursuit of their own happiness. The heroines of these novels eventually found the loves of their lives and ended the novels secure and happy. Any development of a romantic relationship between two (or more) people? As well as an ending that was emotionally satisfying (usually happy but not always)?became the two core guidelines that romance novels follow to this day. Typically, romance novels reflect the desires of their audience. Jane Austen’s novels as well as the works of the Bronte sisters (especially Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre) introduced female characters who were ultimately rewarded with successful marriages for expressing their individuality or their own desires. For female readers tied down by social norms and conventions, these romance novels became a form of escape and inspiration. are stories writte...

Brief History of FREE WEBTOON

Webtoons (Hangul: 웹툰) are a type of digital comic that originated in South Korea. While webtoons were mostly unknown outside of the country during their inception, there has been a surge in popularity internationally thanks in great part to most manhwa being read on smartphones. This animation made for the web. As digital manhwa have emerged as a popular medium, print publication of manhwa has decreased. The amount of material published in webtoon form has now reached an equal amount as that published offline 야설 .
