Can anyone recommend a massage therapist who understands bruxism and all the extenuating pain it triggers in the neck, head and shoulders? I saw something on a talk show where in L.A. they have a massages the face and they go in the mouth (gloved up obvi) and do to trigger point massage in the head and jaw to release tension.

Just watching it on TV it looked it could provide me soooooo much relief.

I am working on my stress but I also think some of the meds I'm on makes me clench my jaw subconsciously. I've having headaches and stiff neck, I believe all stemming from my clenched jaw.

Mouth guard is on order with the dentist, but it will take several weeks for them to get it made (they say).

Take it with a grain of salt but I dropped 50 bucks on one of those beck massager things, with the four rotating heated balls. Literally changed my life. All the knots, all the pressure, gone after a week. 10min a night. I still bust it out once every blue moon, but I cannot overstate how bad I used to be, grabbing my neck and feeling rock hard muscles from 8h of insane work stress, trying to massage it out manually. Now it's pretty chill. Just imagine going to bed and not having constant muscle pain.
