Description

Self-Myofascial Release: Jaw focuses on SMFR techniques for the masseter and temporalis muscles, addressing common patterns of jaw tension and craniofacial soft tissue restriction.

Explore the anatomy and function of the muscles of mastication and discover structured SMFR approaches for the jaw region using both static compression and dynamic movement-based techniques. Consideration is given to appropriate pressure, positioning, and application within sensitive craniofacial structures.

Where appropriate within scope of practice, these techniques may also be applied in self-care or client education contexts.
