What TMJ Physiotherapy Can Do for You
TMJ physiotherapy restores jaw function and improves your quality of life. Our experienced physiotherapists use targeted manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and evidence-based techniques to address jaw pain, clicking, locking, teeth clenching or grinding (bruxism), TMJ-related headaches, and difficulty chewing or speaking. Treatment focuses on reducing pain, improving jaw mobility, and preventing future flare-ups.
Common TMJ Conditions We Treat
Our TMJ physiotherapy services address a wide range of temporomandibular joint disorders and jaw-related issues:
Jaw Pain & Clicking
Treatment for persistent jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing your mouth, and general TMJ discomfort.
TMJ Locking & Limited Opening
Relief for jaw locking (open or closed), restricted mouth opening, and difficulty with wide yawning or eating.
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding & Clenching)
Specialized care for bruxism-related jaw pain, muscle tension, tooth sensitivity, and nighttime teeth grinding or clenching habits.
TMJ-Related Headaches
Treatment for tension headaches, migraines, and facial pain caused by TMJ dysfunction and jaw muscle tension.
Post-Dental Work TMJ Pain
Recovery support for jaw pain following dental procedures, prolonged mouth opening during treatment, or new dental appliances.
Facial Tension & Pain
Relief for facial muscle tension, temple pain, cheek pain, and tension around the jaw and face.
TMJ Arthritis
Management of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis affecting the temporomandibular joint, focusing on pain reduction and function.
Disc Displacement
Treatment for TMJ disc displacement with or without reduction, addressing mechanical dysfunction and improving jaw mechanics.
Our TMJ Treatment Approach
At Énergie Active Physio, we use a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to TMJ dysfunction:
Comprehensive Assessment: Your initial 60-minute evaluation includes detailed history-taking, assessment of jaw mechanics, bite analysis, neck and posture evaluation, and identification of contributing factors like stress or dental issues.
Manual Therapy: We use specialized hands-on techniques including jaw mobilizations, muscle release, trigger point therapy, and neck treatment to reduce pain and improve mobility. All techniques are external and comfortable.
Therapeutic Exercise & Strengthening: You'll receive a personalized exercise program focusing on jaw strengthening, stretching, coordination exercises, and postural correction to support long-term recovery.
Habit Modification: We provide strategies for managing bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching), stress reduction techniques, sleep position recommendations, and guidance on protecting your jaw during daily activities.
Collaborative Care: We work closely with dentists, oral surgeons, and orthodontists to ensure your treatment complements any dental care, night guards, or splints you may need.
Home Exercise Programs: Every patient receives clear instructions, demonstration videos when appropriate, and ongoing support to manage symptoms between sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral for TMJ physiotherapy?
No referral is required to book. If we need to coordinate care, we can communicate with your dentist or physician.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on your goals and assessment findings. Many people notice improvement within a few sessions; we'll outline an individualized plan.
Can TMJ problems cause headaches or ear symptoms?
Yes. TMJ dysfunction can contribute to headaches, facial pain and ringing or fullness in the ear. Treatment addresses jaw mechanics and related neck factors.
What can I do at home for jaw pain?
We'll give you targeted exercises, posture strategies and habit modifications (for clenching/bruxism) to reduce flare-ups between sessions.
What causes TMJ pain?
Common causes include clenching or grinding (bruxism), stress, jaw or neck posture, disc displacement, arthritis, and recent dental work. Your assessment identifies the drivers so treatment fits your situation.
Do you work with dentists or provide splint guidance?
Yes. We frequently collaborate with dentists and oral surgeons. If a night guard or splint is indicated, we'll coordinate and ensure your exercises complement dental care.
Will treatment hurt?
Treatment should not be painful. Some temporary tenderness is normal after manual therapy or new exercises, but we keep things comfortable and progress at your pace.
How long is a TMJ session?
The initial assessment is typically 45–60 minutes. Follow-ups are usually 30–45 minutes depending on your plan.
What should I avoid during a flare-up?
Minimize hard or chewy foods, wide yawning, prolonged mouth opening and gum chewing. Short, frequent rests and heat or cold as advised can help calm symptoms.
