Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) Physiotherapy – Relieve Pain, Restore Function

Jaw pain can be a serious disruptor to daily life. From difficulty chewing to discomfort during talking or even headaches and earaches, TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) can significantly impact your well-being. At A+ Physio, we specialize in physiotherapy for TMD, focusing on pain relief, restoring jaw function, and improving your overall quality of life.

Common Symptoms of TMD

✔ Jaw pain
✔ Clicking or popping sounds when opening/closing the mouth
✔ Headaches or earaches
✔ Stiffness or limited movement in the jaw

How Physiotherapy Can Help with TMD

Physiotherapy plays a key role in managing TMD symptoms by addressing both the underlying causes and the painful symptoms. Here's how we help:

Pain Relief

We use techniques like manual therapy, massage, and specific exercises to alleviate jaw pain and muscle discomfort. Our aim is to reduce tension and restore comfort in your jaw.

Joint Mobilisation

Restricted movement in the TMJ (temporomandibular joint) can worsen symptoms. Our physiotherapists apply gentle joint mobilization techniques to improve jaw mobility, reduce stiffness, and enhance jaw function.

Muscle Relaxation

Muscle tension in the jaw and neck often contributes to TMD. We teach relaxation exercises, and provide stretching and strengthening techniques to reduce muscle tightness and promote overall relaxation.

Posture Correction

Misalignment of the jaw is often linked to poor posture. We assess your posture and offer ergonomic recommendations or exercises to improve alignment, reducing strain on the jaw and neck muscles.

Education & Behaviour Modification

Understanding the causes of TMD, such as teeth grinding or jaw clenching, is essential. We guide you in stress management, proper jaw mechanics, and healthy habits to minimize symptoms and prevent recurrence.

Customised Exercise Programs

We create personalized exercise plans to improve jaw stability, strength, and coordination. These programs include gentle stretches, muscle relaxation techniques, and exercises for jaw strength and flexibility.

Collaboration with Healthcare Providers

We work closely with your dentist, oral surgeon, and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive, integrated care and long-term symptom management.
