Bruxism and jaw tension in Castelldefels
Clenching the teeth by day or night puts the jaw under constant load that ends up spreading to the face, temples and neck. Joan Jiménez, registered naturopath (FENACO 3802), works the temporomandibular joint and the facial muscles to release that accumulated rigidity.
Signs we see in consultation
Jaw load presents a fairly defined picture:
- A tired or hardened jaw on waking.
- Awareness of clenching the teeth through the day.
- Tension spreading toward the temples and facial muscles.
- Discomfort when opening wide or chewing.
- An associated sense of cranial load.
What we usually find
The jaw muscles are among the strongest in the body and respond readily to sustained demand. The clenching habit keeps the temporomandibular joint and the chewing muscles contracted, and that load usually connects with the neck and craniofacial area.
Releasing that tissue reduces rigidity in the area and its spread toward the neck and head. It complements dental assessment well when a night guard has been advised.
Approach and method
Joan explores the temporomandibular joint, the chewing muscles, the facial area and their connection with the neck, because the load is rarely held by the jaw alone.
The work is manual, delicate and precise: a small, heavily used and sensitive area that requires intensity to be matched to the tissue response at every moment of the session.
An integrative service, not just a massage
Joan does not work with a single technique. Depending on what the assessment shows, he combines TNDR integrative massage in one session with decontracting work, facial and TMJ work, foot reflexology, biomagnetism, reiki or Access Bars. The combination is decided case by case, with no closed protocols.

The consultation in Castelldefels
The session does not start on the table, but by listening. First we go through what you notice, since when and in which situations it appears; then a manual assessment reads the state of the tissue and locates where the load is actually held.

Manual reading of the tissue to locate the load.
No protocols or fixed timings: we work what needs working.
