Struggling with jaw pain, clicking, or tension headaches? It could be TMJ dysfunction.
The TMJ (temporomandibular joint) connects your jawbone to your skull and is involved in talking, chewing, and yawning. When it’s not functioning properly, it can cause a range of symptoms, including:
🔹 Jaw pain or tightness
🔹 Clicking, popping, or locking in the jaw
🔹 Headaches or migraines
🔹 Earache or a feeling of fullness in the ear
🔹 Neck and shoulder tension
🔹 Clenching or grinding (especially at night)
What causes it?
TMJ dysfunction can stem from stress, poor posture, teeth grinding, injury, or even dental issues.
How myotherapy helps:
- External and intra-oral myofascial release
- Joint mobilisation and muscle rebalancing
- Postural correction and breathing strategies
- Education to reduce jaw loading and prevent flare-ups
Early treatment can prevent long-term problems. If your jaw feels overworked, painful, or stuck – we can help.
