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.
