Jaw pain, clicking, stiffness and tension headaches can make eating, speaking, sleeping and daily routines uncomfortable. Our TMJ physio services help people in Markham and Unionville understand what may be contributing to jaw discomfort and start a treatment plan that feels clear, supportive and personalized.
TMJ physiotherapy focuses on the jaw joint and surrounding muscles of the face and neck.
When these areas are not moving well, you may experience jaw pain, clicking, locking, headaches, facial tension or trouble opening your mouth comfortably.
Atlas Physiotherapy and Health offers dedicated TMJ physiotherapy delivered by registered physiotherapists who assess jaw movement, muscle tension, posture, neck involvement and related symptoms.
Because jaw pain is often connected to more than one area, TMJ physiotherapy treatment may include assessing jaw movement, muscle tension, posture, neck mobility, clenching habits and patterns that may be placing extra strain on the joint.
Your physiotherapist may use gentle hands-on treatment, soft tissue techniques, jaw mobility exercises, neck treatment, posture support and home exercises to help reduce discomfort and improve function.
Treatment is personalized to your symptoms, whether you are dealing with jaw pain, clicking, stiffness, clenching, grinding, headaches, facial tension or discomfort when opening and closing your mouth.
The goal is to help reduce irritation where possible and support more comfortable chewing, speaking, sleeping and daily movement.
