Masseter Muscle Massage

HEADACHE REMEDY MASSETER MUSCLE MASSAGE

• One of the strongest muscle of the face is the masseter muscle. This muscle responsible for closing the jaw or for chewing food. It is located under the cheekbone going down the jaw and whenever this muscle is stressed, it causes other muscles to contract such as the neighboring neck and shoulder muscles.
• For people who are in a habit of gritting their teeth when they are angry or stressed, they tend to tighten this muscle and in turn causes other muscles to react as well causing headaches or sometimes even upper back pain.
• This massage releases tension and tightening on the masseter muscles and will help you feel refreshed and avoid headaches and upper back pains.
• Place your fingers below your cheekbones above your jaw. Gently apply pressure as you press the cheeks in a circular motion.
• Continue working your fingers as you open your mouth.
• Close the mouth and repeat as many times as necessary.
