What We Do

Specialist Care for Jaw, Facial & TMJ Conditions

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are complex conditions involving the jaw joint, surrounding muscles, and their relationship with the neck and skull. At KINETIKA, we have specialist expertise in maxillofacial and orofacial physiotherapy — a field that requires specific training beyond standard musculoskeletal care.

Treatment may include manual therapy targeting the jaw and cervical spine, muscle re-education, exercise prescription, and patient education around habits that aggravate symptoms. We work closely with dentists and maxillofacial surgeons where required.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How is TMJ physiotherapy different from seeing a dentist?
    Dentists focus on dental occlusion and often provide splints. Physiotherapists address the joint, muscles, and movement patterns — both approaches often work best together.
    How many sessions are typically needed?
    Mild to moderate TMJ dysfunction often responds within 4 to 8 sessions. More complex or chronic cases may require longer treatment.
    Do you work with maxillofacial surgeons?
    Yes. We collaborate with dental and maxillofacial specialists and are experienced at co-managing post-surgical jaw cases.
