Personalized physiotherapy can help relieve jaw pain, improve mobility, and address the muscle and joint issues contributing to TMJ discomfort.
Helps release tight muscles, reduce tension, and ease pain around the jaw and surrounding areas.
Uses therapeutic light energy to support tissue recovery, reduce inflammation, and relieve discomfort.
Hands-on physiotherapy techniques help improve jaw mobility, decrease muscle tension, and restore comfortable movement.
Personalized exercises strengthen supporting muscles, improve jaw control, and encourage healthier movement patterns.
Jaw pain shouldn’t interfere with eating, speaking, or your everyday routine.
The temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, connects your lower jaw to your skull and allows your mouth to open, close, and move while speaking and chewing.
When the joint or surrounding muscles become irritated, stiff, or overloaded, everyday jaw movement can become painful or difficult.
TMJ disorders can develop for several reasons, including muscle tension, joint irritation, poor movement patterns, or strain affecting the jaw and nearby structures.
Physiotherapy focuses on identifying these contributing factors and improving how the jaw moves and functions.
Common contributors can include:
Our physiotherapists assess jaw mobility, muscle function, posture, and nearby areas that could be contributing to your TMJ symptoms.
Your treatment plan is then tailored to improve movement, reduce tension, and help you return to everyday activities with less discomfort.
Your physiotherapy plan may include:
TMJ discomfort can make everyday activities like eating, speaking, and yawning more difficult than they should be.
Our physiotherapy team can assess your jaw movement, identify contributing factors, and develop a treatment plan designed around your needs.
