Experiencing TMJ pain (jaw pain) may signal a temporomandibular disorder (TMD). This condition affects the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding muscles. The TMJ plays an essential role in smooth jaw movement, enabling you to speak, eat, and express emotions. However, disruptions in this joint often lead to painful and debilitating symptoms. These symptoms can significantly impact your quality of life, making daily activities both challenging and uncomfortable. Fortunately, effective treatments can provide relief for TMJ pain, helping you regain comfort and restore daily function.

Our Senior Physiotherapist, Kirstin, has completed additional training in TMD treatment and brings advanced skills in managing complex TMJ issues. She actively shares her expertise with the entire physiotherapy team through Professional Development sessions, which ensures that each practitioner gains advanced knowledge in TMD care.
