Are you feeling pain in your face when you move your jaw, like when you’re chewing? It might mean there’s an issue with your jaw joint. Sometimes, you might find it hard to open your jaw fully, and you might hear creaking or rubbing noises when you try to open your mouth. You might also have other problems like toothaches, earaches, headaches, neck pain, or your jaw joint feeling sensitive to pressure. If you’ve been having these symptoms for a while, it’s a good idea to talk to a healthcare professional or doctor. Using CureTape can really help ease the discomfort in your jaw joint. After you put the tape on, you might notice that you can open your jaw more easily and that your symptoms get better. Adding more tape could make it even more helpful.

Christina’s advice when taping TMJ
When taping your face, it’s crucial to choose a tape that provides both adhesion and support. That’s why I recommend CureTape kinesiology tape. For regular use, CureTape Classic or Art is ideal. However, if you have very sensitive skin, I would recommend using CureTape Beauty for face taping or CureTape Gentle for sensitive skin. They have a softer adhesive, and are more suitable for use on the face.
Tips for Effective TMJ Taping:
- Make sure you understand what’s causing the pain or discomfort
- Check if there are any reasons why taping might not be a good idea.
- Before you start, read the instructions carefully.
- Choose a tape colour or print that suits your style!
- Round of all the edges to prevent peeling.
- Avoid stretching the tape at the beginning and end.
- Rub the tape firmly for better adhesion; warmth helps activate the adhesive.
- You can shower or swim with the tape on; just pat it dry gently afterward, avoiding vigorous rubbing.
- To remove the tape easily, use body or massage oil.
