TMJ or jaw physiotherapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy that focuses on treating issues related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding muscles. The TMJ is the joint that connects the jawbone to the skull, and TMJ disorders can cause a range of symptoms, including pain, clicking, popping, and difficulty chewing or speaking.
During a TMJ or jaw physiotherapy session, a physiotherapist will perform a thorough evaluation of the jaw joint and surrounding muscles to identify any issues or imbalances. Treatment may include exercises to improve muscle strength and coordination, manual therapy to improve joint mobility, and modalities such as heat or cold therapy to relieve pain and inflammation.
For those experiencing clicking deviation, a physiotherapist may use specific techniques to help reposition the jaw joint and reduce clicking or popping sounds. Treatment may also involve education on proper jaw alignment and posture, as well as lifestyle modifications such as avoiding chewing gum or hard foods.

What it is
Most of this first physiotherapy visit is spent figuring out what’s driving the problem — history, movement, strength and hands-on testing — then some treatment if there’s time, and you leave with a clearer picture and a plan for what comes next.
