Temporo-mandibular articulation (TMJ)

The temporomandibular joint is located on either side of the face, in front of the ear. Among other things, it contributes to the opening and closing of the mouth.  Like all joints in the human body, it can be a source of pain and restricted movement, with a major impact on quality of life, particularly in terms of eating and speaking. 

Physiotherapy treatments can therefore help gain mobility, manage pain and improve control. Exercises will complement treatment to directly oppose the negative effects of degeneration that can occur in the TMJ, due to pain.

Conditions treated:

●    Pain in the jaw or ear

●    Noises (joint clicks) or “cracking” sensation when opening the mouth or during chewing

●    Limitation of mouth opening

●    Headaches, migraines

●    Tooth sensitivity

●    And many others
