TMJ Physiotherapy in London
TMJ Physiotherapy
Jaw disorders are one of the most common musculoskeletal issues — second only to lower back pain. They often stem from dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects your jaw to your skull just in front of each ear.
If you’re experiencing jaw pain, stiffness, or clicking, your first thought might be to see a dentist. However, TMJ physiotherapy is often the best place to start. Through gentle manual therapy, targeted exercises, and posture correction, physiotherapy can effectively reduce pain, restore movement, and prevent recurring discomfort.
Why TMJ Physiotherapy Matters
What We Treat
We can help with a wide range of symptoms, including:
- Jaw pain, stiffness, or locking
- Clicking, popping, or grinding sensations
- Pain when chewing
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching)
- Trismus
- Post-dental work discomfort
- Bite changes or difficulty opening the mouth
- Post- operative Head and Neck cancer
Our Approach
At London Physiotherapy, we begin with a detailed TMJ Physiotherapy Assessment to understand your symptoms, lifestyle, and contributing factors such as posture, stress, or previous dental work. Based on this, we design a personalised treatment plan that may include gentle joint mobilisation, soft tissue release, relaxation techniques, and corrective exercises.
Our goal is to relieve your pain, restore natural movement, and help you return to everyday life comfortably and confidently.
Don’t let jaw pain affect your quality of life.
