Poor posture and desk setup can contribute to headaches and jaw pain. Here are some guidelines to help correct your posture whilst sitting:

• Sit with a tall upright posture.

• Remove arm rests that prevent your ability to tuck in under the desk.

• The top of the monitor should be at eye level.
• Knees bent to a 90° angle.

• Keep your elbows bent at a 90° angle.

• Whilst using the mouse your elbow needs to stay tucked into your body.

• Remember to take breaks.

Jaw pain rarely stays “just” in the jaw. Because the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is so closely linked to the muscles of your face, head, and neck, symptoms can often be surprising.
Are you experiencing any of these common signs?
• Jaw & Facial Pain: Persistent aching or sharp pain in the cheek area.
• Clicking or Popping: Noticeable sounds when you eat, speak, or yawn.
• Headaches: Tension-type headaches that feel like a tight band around your head.
• Limited Movement: Feeling like your jaw is “stuck,” stiff, or unable to open fully.
• Ear Pain & Congestion: A clogged feeling or ache in the ear, even when there’s no infection.
At My Jaw Physio, we specialise exclusively in these conditions.
➡️ Don’t ignore the signs. Book a specialised assessment today to find the root cause of your discomfort.

🚫 Myth Busted: Chewing gum isn’t helping your jaw!

Many believe gum chewing strengthens the jaw but in reality, it can make jaw pain worse.
Repetitive chewing leads to muscle fatigue and overactivity, especially in those with TMJ issues.

If your jaw hurts, it’s best to give it a rest! 🦷💆‍♀️
