A tight jaw, aching temples, that clench you only notice at the end of the day. Tension around the jaw and the muscles of the temples is common in stressed, screen-focused people — and it's an ideal match for very light, gentle hands-on work.
Common causes
- Daytime or night-time clenching (often stress-driven)
- Long, focused screen concentration
- Neck and shoulder tension referring up to the jaw
- General stress and shallow breathing
Is this something I can help with?
Honesty first. Gentle hands-on work is wonderful for everyday, muscular tension — and wrong for anything that needs a doctor. Here's the plain line between the two.
✔ I can usually help if…
- Tight, tired jaw and temple muscles
- Aching around the jaw after stressful days
- Jaw tension paired with tension headaches
- Wanting the lightest, gentlest possible touch
➜ Please see a doctor first if…
- Jaw that locks, clicks painfully, or won't open fully
- Dental pain, tooth problems or gum swelling (see your dentist)
- Facial numbness, weakness or drooping (seek urgent care)
- Pain after a blow to the jaw or face
- A diagnosed TMJ joint disorder needing dental/medical care
If any of these apply, this isn't the right treatment — and I'll gladly help point you toward the right professional.

In a session I combine gentle techniques, choosing the mix for your body — nothing forceful, no cracking:
