Jaw & Facial Muscle Tension
Tightness through the jaw, cheeks and temples that external massage cannot fully reach. Working from inside the mouth lets the therapist treat the muscle closer to where it attaches.

In short
Summary
Signature Blossom Buccals is our intra-oral massage treatment — buccal massage, meaning the therapist works with a gloved hand inside the cheek as well as on the outside of the face. Provided by a Registered Massage Therapist at our Orangeville clinic and billed as massage therapy. Our booking page lists the session as including a cleanse, face oil, a mud mask and a hydrating finish alongside the massage.
The treatment
What is buccal massage, and how does it work?
The muscles that close your jaw — the masseter, temporalis and pterygoids — do a great deal of work, and parts of them can only be reached from inside the mouth. Buccal massage treats those muscles directly, with a gloved hand working along the inside of the cheek while the other hand supports from outside.
At Blossom this is a massage therapy treatment, provided by a Registered Massage Therapist and billed as massage therapy. Every session begins with an explanation and your consent, and you can pause or stop at any point. The 60-minute session pairs the intra-oral work with the facial elements; the 75- and 90-minute sessions add upper-body massage.

Choosing
Jaw symptoms, or a facial appointment?
Buccal massage is a facial and intra-oral appointment. Like every appointment here it starts with a conversation about what you want and your consent before anything begins. If a jaw problem is what brought you here, start with the TMJ page instead.
-
Is jaw pain, clicking or restricted movement your main concern? See the TMJ options→
That page sets out which professions provide jaw care here, how each is booked and billed, and what happens at a first visit.
Still deciding? Send us a question and describe it in a sentence — we would rather point you to the right appointment than have you book the wrong one.

Why people book buccal massage
Clenching & Grinding
If you wake with a tired, aching jaw, the chewing muscles have been working overnight. This treatment targets those muscles.
Neck, back & joint care →Tension Around the Temples
Some headache patterns involve the same overworked chewing muscles — though not all do, and a headache is worth discussing with your physician if it is new or changing.
Post-Dental Tightness
Long dental appointments can leave the jaw stiff and sore to open.
Your appointment
The buccal massage process
-

-
Consent & hygiene
The technique is explained before anything begins. Gloves are worn throughout, and treatment only proceeds with your agreement.
-

-

Assessment
Your therapist asks about your jaw, your symptoms and any dental history, and checks how your jaw moves.
- First 24 hours
- Mild tenderness in the jaw or temples is common. Soft foods and warmth over the jaw can help.
Suitability
Is buccal massage right for you?
Intra-oral work is not for everyone, and it is entirely optional. A short conversation at your first visit confirms whether it suits you.
Please get medical advice before booking
- Your jaw is locked open or closed and will not move
- You have an active dental or oral infection, ulcer or lesion
If any of these apply, please contact your physician or go to your nearest emergency department. In an emergency call 9-1-1. Do not wait for a reply from us. Anything else you are unsure about, tell us when you book or send us a question first.
Often a good fit if
- Persistent jaw, cheek or temple tightness
- A clenching or grinding habit, day or night
- A jaw that feels tired or sore after eating or talking
- Stiffness following dental work
- You are comfortable with gloved intra-oral treatment
Tell us when you book if
- You have had recent oral, jaw or facial surgery
- You have a strong gag reflex or find intra-oral work distressing
- You have a diagnosed joint or connective-tissue condition affecting the jaw

Questions
Signature Blossom Buccals RMT questions
How much does Blossom Buccals cost in Orangeville?
At Blossom Wellness Clinic, Signature Blossom Buccals RMT is $175 for 60 min, $185 for 75 min, $210 for 90 min. Our booking page states that prices for massage therapy treatments are not inclusive of taxes.
What does “buccal” mean?
Buccal simply means relating to the cheek. In practice it means part of the massage is done with a gloved hand inside your mouth, along the inside of the cheek, as well as on the outside of the face.
Can I decline or stop the intra-oral part?
Yes, at any time and without explanation. The technique is explained before it begins and only goes ahead with your agreement, and you can ask your therapist to pause or stop partway through.
Is the mask included, and is it optional?
Our booking page lists the mask as part of the session.
How is this different from your TMJ treatment?
They overlap. TMJ/TMJD care is assessment-led care for a jaw problem — pain, clicking, restricted opening — and more than one provider offers it. Signature Blossom Buccals is a dedicated intra-oral and facial session. If you have jaw symptoms you want assessed, start with TMJ / TMJD treatment .
I have had recent dental work — how long should I wait?
Ask the dentist or surgeon who did the work, and tell your therapist what they advise.
Does it hurt?
The muscles being worked are often tender, so it can feel intense — but it should not go beyond what you are comfortable with. Your therapist explains each step, checks in throughout, and adjusts pressure at any point.
Which length should I choose?
The 60-minute session is the buccal and facial work on its own. The 75- and 90-minute sessions add upper-body massage. If you are unsure, book the 60 and talk to your therapist about what would suit next time.
