I don't know what kind of trouble you mean, but people can sometimes have tension headaches and stiff necks and so on... That can be relieved with muscle massage to help soothe the muscles into relaxing. So the problems can be muscle cramping / spasms.
There are some strong muscles to work the jaw. Around the side of the head (the temporal region). And under / behind the ears. The top of the head, too, more to do with the forehead and eyes...
Likely you need to be relaxed to have proper control over movement. Like how boxers do a lot of jiggling and so on to limber up so they can move quickly. Your face muscles need to be resting relaxed so they can contract when you want them to and relax again instead of being cramped up all the time.
Just a thought.
A soft ball... A high bounce rubber ball. Can be nice for a gentle massage. Against a wall can be useful. Or a tennis ball.
