TMJ and TMD refer to conditions affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, often causing pain and difficulty with daily activities like chewing or speaking. Symptoms may include jaw clicking, facial pain, headaches, or stiffness around the ears. Stress, teeth grinding, or poor posture are common contributors.
Physiotherapy helps manage TMJ and TMD by reducing joint strain and muscle tension. With gentle, targeted treatment and guided exercises, physiotherapy improves jaw movement, reduces discomfort, and supports long-term jaw function.
TMJ and TMD affect how the jaw moves and functions. Physiotherapy focuses on restoring proper movement patterns, improving muscle balance, and reducing stress on the jaw joint.
