The Buccal Release Method
90 Minutes —
Jaw, Neck & Cranial Integration
A specialised, fascia-led session designed to gently release tension through the jaw, neck and head while supporting the nervous system to settle.
This method is for those who feel stress gathering in the jaw, who notice clenching or tightness through the face and throat, or who carry tension upward into the neck and base of the skull.
Why Focus on the Jaw
The jaw and upper neck are intimately connected.
When we move through stress, concentration or long periods of holding, the jaw often absorbs more than we realise. Over time, that tension can travel into the neck, head and shoulders.
This region also shares close relationships with the nervous system. When the tissues of the jaw and upper neck remain tight, the body can stay subtly braced — influencing how we breathe, digest and rest.
By working gently with these deeper layers of connective tissue, we create space for both physical release and nervous system regulation.
As the jaw softens, many people notice a quiet shift through the whole body.
How the Method Unfolds
This session weaves together:
• Intraoral (buccal) therapy to access deeper jaw muscles
• External jaw and neck release
• Upper cervical and cranial work
• Craniosacral therapy to support nervous system settling
• Lymphatic techniques through the head and neck
• Breath-led guidance to encourage internal calm
The work is unhurried and responsive.
Rather than forcing change, the tissue is met with steady, attentive contact — allowing tension to unwind gradually.
As holding patterns soften, the body often shifts from protection toward ease.
Often Chosen For
• Jaw tension and clenching
• TMJ discomfort
• Headaches or facial pressure
• Neck tightness connected to jaw restriction
• Stress-related holding patterns
• Sleep disturbance
• Digestive discomfort linked to nervous system imbalance
This method supports both structural release and a deeper sense of regulation.
