Your pathway to relief

Consectetur adipiscing elit sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt labore et dolore magna aliqua enim minim veniam.

01. Assessment

We start by listening—what you’re feeling, what triggers it and what you need to get back to. Your physio will:

Review your history including clenching/grinding, stress patterns and any dental factors

Assess jaw range of motion, joint mechanics and muscle tenderness

Screen contributing factors such as neck and upper back mobility and posture

Explain your likely diagnosis and recovery outlook clearly

02. Treatment

Your plan may include:

Gentle manual therapy where appropriate for jaw and neck comfort

A tailored jaw mobility and control approach Education around habits, posture, breathing and flare-up management

Strategies to reduce overloading from clenching/grinding

Coordination with your dentist or GP if a shared plan is helpful

03. Progress

At follow-ups we:

Track functional changes in opening, chewing comfort and headache frequency

Progress control and strength safely

Build confidence for work, eating and training without symptom spikes

Adjust your plan to keep momentum without aggravation
