Treatment
TMJ & Jaw Physiotherapy
Jaw pain, clicking, headaches, and difficulty chewing are often signs of temporomandibular joint dysfunction. We provide specialist physiotherapy for TMJ, jaw, and orofacial conditions — restoring jaw function and relieving pain through evidence-based, hands-on treatment.

Specialist Jaw & Orofacial Care
TMJ disorders involve the jaw joint, surrounding muscles, and their relationship with the neck and skull. We have the specialist training to treat them properly.

How TMJ rehab works
Our TMJ Approach
Specialist Jaw Assessment
Detailed jaw, cervical, and orofacial examination — including range, clicking, muscular tension and habit patterns like clenching and grinding.
Joint & Soft-Tissue Therapy
Internal and external manual therapy to the jaw and cervical spine, plus targeted soft-tissue work on the muscles of mastication.
Movement & Muscle Re-Education
Re-training jaw movement patterns, posture, and breathing so the joint loads correctly during everyday function.
Habit & Stress Strategies
Strategies for clenching, grinding, and stress-driven tension — alongside dental input where a splint is part of the plan.
Conditions we treat
TMJ & Jaw Conditions We Treat
We assess and treat the full range of temporomandibular and orofacial presentations — and we co-manage closely with dentists and maxillofacial surgeons where the case calls for it.
TMJ Dysfunction
Pain, restricted opening, and asymmetric movement patterns from the temporomandibular joint and its supporting muscles.
Jaw Clicking & Locking
Disc-related joint sounds and intermittent locking — assessed for severity and managed with movement re-education and manual therapy.
Chronic Jaw Pain
Persistent jaw pain that has not settled with rest, splints, or dental work alone — physiotherapy often unlocks the missing piece.
Tension Headaches Linked to the Jaw
Headaches driven by jaw clenching and cervical tension — addressed across the jaw, neck, and posture together.
Bruxism & Clenching
Day- and night-time clenching and grinding patterns — co-managed with dental splint therapy where indicated.
Facial Paralysis
Bell's palsy and other facial nerve presentations — facial neuromuscular retraining to restore symmetry and function.
Post-Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Rehabilitation following orthognathic, TMJ, or other oral surgery — restoring range, function and confidence.
Cervicogenic Jaw Pain
Jaw pain that is actually being driven by upper cervical spine dysfunction — assessed and treated together.
Trigeminal & Orofacial Pain
Specialist assessment and conservative management, in coordination with your medical team where required.
