You can directly refer patients to Help Head Pain, where they can choose the online course that best fits their symptoms—whether it's jaw-focused relief or a more comprehensive approach that includes the neck and upper body. Both self-guided video lessons include safe, clear instruction on intraoral self-massage, helping patients release the deeper muscle tension often driving their jaw pain, clenching, and headache patterns.

As a Licensed Massage Therapist with over 20 years of experience—and 11 years specializing in TMJ pain—I created these courses to fill a common gap in care: the muscular component. Many dental treatments rely on a foundation of muscular balance. When tight muscles are left unaddressed, it can make appliances less effective, increase pain after procedures, or prolong healing. These techniques support your treatment plans by helping patients open wider, tolerate longer appointments, and stabilize between visits.

These self-care lessons include:

• Trigger point and muscle release techniques

• Jaw and neck stabilization

• Stretching and posture support

• Tongue posture and perpetuating factors that affect long-term outcomes

Many dental professionals refer to my hands-on practice or these courses to support patients with TMJ dysfunction, clenching, headache patterns, and muscle tension.

Why These Courses Are a Valuable Referral Option

These online courses are ideal for patients who:

• Don’t live near a TMJ-trained manual therapist

• Have limited time or budget for in-person sessions

• Want to reinforce and extend the benefits of their current care

• Need practical tools to manage pain between appointments

• Would benefit from learning techniques their provider may not have time to teach

By referring patients to these structured, accessible video lessons, you’re offering them trusted, step-by-step guidance from a specialist in head, neck, and jaw relief. It’s a simple, effective way to provide ongoing support—without adding more to your plate.

A Free Lesson to Get Them Started

Patients can also start with a free video lesson where I explain how trigger points in the masseter muscle can cause pain that feels like joint pain, a toothache, headaches, or ear issues. Then I teach them how to externally massage the muscle. The lesson also includes one very important perpetuating factor to adjust that will help with neck or jaw pain. Patients can sign up for this free lesson directly from the Help Head Pain homepage.

You can also connect with me and access more resources on Instagram, YouTube, or Facebook.

I look forward to being your partner in relieving patient pain.
