Pain We Treat
TMJ & Jaw Pain
Melbourne Muscular Therapies
Is jaw pain affecting your quality of life? Disrupting your sleep? Causing neck and temple tension or teeth grinding? TMJ dysfunction is more common than people realise — and more treatable than most have been told.
Neck tension and stiffness frequently correlate with TMJ dysfunction, and addressing the surrounding soft tissue is often the missing piece. Our slow, deep penetrating strokes target problem sources to realign dysfunctional tissues and signal the brain to promote relaxation and stabilisation.
We follow a 'clean first, build second' methodology: using deep technique to resolve acute pain and restricted jaw movement, then implementing specialised strength and conditioning to rebalance muscular chains and prevent compensation patterns from returning.

What Our Clients Say
“I've been to many practitioners and Vanessa is now my only go to.”
Cathy F.
Google Review, Ferntree Gully
“I suffered with chronic lower back pain from a bulging disc and it was preventing me from progressing in my exercise and strength building program. I had tried everything from chiropractic to acupuncture before I was recommended to MMT two years ago. I have since learnt that these guys are the leaders in their field and really understand how my body works. They have not only given me the pain relief that I thought would never happen, they have educated me on how to move correctly and avoid injury.”

“I had pain in my hip & knees for approximately 6 years before coming to see the guys at MMT. I'd tried all kinds of therapies including Physio & Osteo over the years and never really had results to show for the time and money spent. Not only are the guys here genuine, real and authentic but they're also amazing at what they do. Yes, it hurts sometimes but the relief after is 100% worth it.”
