Jaw and headache patterns frequently involve the upper neck joints as well as muscle, and several regulated professions share the Highway 7 building. L’Amoreaux patients often combine two appointments within a single visit to the Markham clinic.
Massage Therapy in L’Amoreaux for Bruxism and Jaw Tension
We offer massage therapy in L’Amoreaux for jaw tightness, morning jaw fatigue and the neck tension that night-time grinding produces. Treatment is delivered by a Registered Massage Therapist and coordinates with dental care where a guard is worn.

Who We Are
Working Alongside a Night Guard From Your Dentist
A night guard protects the teeth from grinding without reducing the muscular force behind it, which is where soft tissue treatment contributes.
Patients travelling north east via Warden Avenue from Bridlewood Mall arrive with jaws that ache on waking despite wearing a guard nightly. The guard protects enamel, yet the masseter and temporalis still contract through the night and remain fatigued by morning. Treatment addresses those muscles directly, along with the suboccipital group and upper neck that grinding recruits. Daytime clenching triggers are identified, since most patients clench while awake without noticing it at all.
- Multidisciplinary Team
Chiropractors, physiotherapists, and registered massage therapists collaborating under one roof, so your care is coordinated, not fragmented.
- Movement Based Approach
We assess how your body actually moves, then build a treatment plan that restores function from the foundation up. Kinetic. Core. Foundation.
“A guard protects the teeth, not the muscles doing the work”
Patients often assume a night guard solves grinding entirely, then wonder why the jaw still aches each morning. The appliance stops enamel wear and changes nothing about the force being generated. Treating the masseter, temporalis and upper neck covers the muscular half of the problem.
What We Offer
Additional Options at the Markham Clinic
Chiropractic Care
Upper cervical restriction accompanies most persistent jaw patterns, and chiropractic treatment addresses those segments through spinal adjustment and gentle mobilization suited to the upper neck.
Physiotherapy
Jaw mechanics and neck endurance both benefit from a physiotherapy assessment, which tests jaw and neck movement, then builds the deep neck strengthening that holds any change in place.
Registered Massage Therapy
Delivered by CMTO registered therapists, RMT massage therapy treats the masseter, temporalis and suboccipital muscles externally, with gloved intraoral work available where appropriate.
Acupuncture
Jaw tension resistant to soft tissue work sometimes eases with acupuncture, using fine sterile single-use needles placed by a registered acupuncturist around the jaw, temple and neck.
Class IV K-Laser Therapy
Irritated tissue around the jaw joint can be treated with Class IV laser therapy, a non-invasive and drug-free option that adds only a few minutes onto an existing treatment appointment.
Custom Orthotics
Whole body posture influences head position over the shoulders, and custom orthotics assessed and cast here on site can help patients who spend most of a working day standing upright.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Upper back and shoulder conditioning through exercise rehabilitation with a Registered Kinesiologist supports the neck that nightly grinding and daytime clenching keep loading week after week.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Clenching rarely stays confined to the jaw muscles alone, and pelvic floor therapy offers private, discreet assessment from a registered physiotherapist with pelvic health training.
Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic
Gentle, low-force care during pregnancy and for children comes through pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic, which families frequently arrange alongside their own adult appointments at the clinic.
How It Works
Your Path from Pain to Lasting Movement
Every patient at KC Rehab follows the same proven four-step process, designed to uncover the root cause of your pain or restriction and build a recovery plan that actually lasts.
Step 1
Consultation and Assessment
Your first visit begins with a detailed conversation about your history, lifestyle, and goals. We then perform a hands on movement assessment to identify the underlying mechanics behind your symptoms.
Step 2
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your assessment findings, we build a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, goals, and timeline. This may combine chiropractic, physiotherapy, RMT, acupuncture, and exercise rehabilitation.
Step 3
Active Treatment & Therapy
Your plan comes to life through manual therapy, targeted exercise, and the modalities best suited to your condition. Every session is monitored and adjusted based on your progress.
Step 4
Ongoing Care & Prevention
Once you have recovered, we equip you with the exercises, ergonomic advice, and maintenance schedule you need to stay pain-free and continue moving well for years to come.
Why CHoose Us
The Muscular Half of a Grinding Problem
L’Amoreaux patients come here because a night guard addresses the teeth while the jaw muscles keep working regardless. Masseter, temporalis and upper neck are treated together, therapists are CMTO registered, and daytime clenching triggers get identified.
Works alongside your night guard
Treatment complements dental appliances rather than replacing them, addressing the muscular force that a guard was never designed to reduce.
Intraoral work where appropriate
Gloved intraoral technique is available with your consent, though many patients find external jaw and temple work sufficient on its own.
Daytime triggers identified
Most patients clench while awake without ever noticing it, so the situations that trigger it are identified during the appointment.
Registered therapists, direct billing
Therapists are CMTO registered and most extended health plans are billed directly, so ongoing treatment stays administratively simple.
RESTORE. REBUILD. RECOVER.
Whether it has been a week or a decade, you do not have to keep adjusting your life around pain. Book your initial assessment at KC Rehab today and find out what real, movement based recovery actually feels like.

Frequent Asked Questions
Why does my jaw ache in the morning despite wearing a guard?
A night guard prevents tooth wear without reducing how forcefully the jaw muscles themselves contract during sleep. The masseter and temporalis both remain fatigued by the morning as a result. Soft tissue treatment addresses that muscular side, which dentistry does not set out to cover.
Can massage therapy reduce night-time grinding?
Treatment reduces muscular tension and morning soreness, though the grinding behaviour itself is influenced by sleep quality and stress factors. Both aspects usually need addressing together. Patients from Tam O’Shanter typically combine treatment with stress management strategies.
What does external jaw treatment involve?
External work applies pressure through the cheek and temple to the masseter and temporalis, using light to moderate depth throughout. No gloves or intraoral access are required for this at all. Many patients find external treatment alone reduces morning jaw fatigue substantially.
Do I clench during the day without realising?
Most patients with jaw tension clench while awake, typically during concentration, driving or screen work, without any awareness of it. Identifying those particular moments matters a great deal. Patients from Milliken often find awareness alone reduces symptoms within a fortnight.
Should I see my dentist as well?
Dental review is worthwhile for anyone grinding at night, since tooth wear and appliance fit both need professional monitoring. The two approaches complement each other rather well. You can contact us to ask how treatment here fits alongside the dental care you already receive.
How many treatments before jaw tension improves?
What is the drive north east from Bridlewood Mall?
The route runs north east via Warden Avenue from Bridlewood Mall, continuing to Highway 7 and the McCowan Road intersection. Allow around twenty five minutes outside peak periods. Free parking sits directly outside the clinic entrance at 6605 Highway 7, close to the McCowan intersection.
Which practitioners could I see besides a massage therapist?
Chiropractors, physiotherapists, acupuncturists, kinesiologists and pelvic health physiotherapists all practise at the same address. KinetiCore Rehabilitation Centre coordinates between them, which helps when a jaw pattern involves muscular tension and restriction in the upper cervical joints together.
