Jaw Physio FAQ
What is jaw physio?
Jaw physiotherapy focuses on diagnosing and treating pain or dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding muscles. It aims to reduce discomfort, restore normal movement, and improve overall jaw function.
When should I see a jaw physiotherapist?
You should consider seeing a jaw physio if you experience pain while chewing, clicking or locking in the jaw, stiffness, headaches, or difficulty opening your mouth. Early treatment can prevent symptoms from worsening.
What happens during a jaw physio session?
Your physiotherapist will assess your jaw movement, muscle tension, and posture before developing a tailored treatment plan. This may include manual therapy, gentle stretching, strengthening exercises, and techniques to relax overactive muscles.
How long does it take to see improvement?
Many people feel relief within a few sessions, while chronic or complex cases may take longer. Consistency with exercises and posture awareness between sessions helps speed up recovery.
Can jaw physio help with headaches or ear pain?
Yes. TMJ dysfunction can often cause referred pain to the temples, ears, or neck. Physiotherapy can help relieve muscle tension, improve joint alignment, and reduce these related symptoms.
Do I need a referral to see a jaw physio?
No referral is required. You can book directly with Rebound Health’s jaw physiotherapy team for assessment and treatment.
