Beyond the Jaw: A Whole Body Approach to TMJ Dysfunction with Jacqui Barker

In this insightful episode, Helen Baker from TMJ Massage Therapies® is joined by the lovely Jacqui Barker, an Advanced Clinical Massage Therapist based in Scotland, whose passion for helping people with chronic pain led her into the world of TMJ Dysfunction and whole body treatment approaches.

Jacqui shares her journey from movement and fitness into clinical massage therapy, and how completing the Level 1 TMJ Massage Therapies® Online CPD Course helped deepen her understanding of the connection between the jaw, posture, hips, pelvis, and wider fascial system.

We talk about the importance of gentle, whole body TMJ treatment, the power of touch, and why so many jaw pain sufferers are often living with symptoms they do not realise are connected to their jaw. Jacqui also shares powerful case studies from clinic, including a client whose migraines, jaw pain, tinnitus, and chronic tension dramatically improved after treatment.

This episode is full of warmth, clinical insight, and encouragement for therapists wanting to better understand TMJ Dysfunction and the incredible impact a compassionate, whole body approach can have on someone’s quality of life.
