TMJ Dysfunction or Pain? We Now Offer Specialist Physiotherapy for Jaw Issues in Birmingham

If you’ve ever struggled with Jaw Pain, Clicking, Headaches, or even Earache that just doesn’t seem to go away — there’s a good chance your Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is involved.

We’re now offering Specialist Physiotherapy for TMJ Dysfunction and Pain right here in Birmingham. This service is led by Preksha, one of our physios who has completed additional specialist training in TMJ physiotherapy and has helped many people manage their jaw pain, improve function, and get their life back on track.

What Is TMJ Dysfunction?

TMJ Dysfunction (also known as Temporomandibular Disorder or TMD) is a condition that affects the jaw joint and surrounding structures like the Temporalis, Masseter, and Neck Muscles. It can cause Pain, Stiffness, and a range of mechanical issues that impact your day-to-day life.

Common symptoms of TMJ dysfunction include:

  • Jaw Pain or Tightness

  • Clicking, Popping, or Locking when opening the Mouth

  • Headaches (especially around the Temples)

  • Pain while Chewing or Yawning

  • Ringing or Fullness in the Ears

  • Neck Pain, Upper Back Tension, or Shoulder Discomfort

Chronic TMJ Pain Can Really Impact Your Life

We see so many people in clinic who’ve lived with chronic TMJ pain for months or even years. It might have started during a period of stress, after Dental Work, or following an injury — but over time it builds into something that affects your sleep, your mood, and your confidence with basic things like eating or speaking.

This is especially common in people who:

  • Feel tension or pain daily

  • Avoid certain foods or opening their Mouth fully

  • Take regular Painkillers or Anti-inflammatories

  • Clench or grind their Teeth, especially at night

  • Have seen a Dentist or GP but feel stuck

If that sounds like you — there is help available. And TMJ physiotherapy in Birmingham could be a game-changer.

TMJ Treatment in Birmingham – Delivered by a Specialist

Our TMJ physiotherapy service in Birmingham is delivered by Preksha, who has taken on additional training in jaw pain assessment and treatment.

What makes her approach different is that it doesn’t just focus on the joint. She looks at how the Jaw, Neck, Posture, and even Breathing Mechanics all contribute to TMJ Dysfunction — and then builds a treatment plan around your specific needs.

What Does TMJ Physiotherapy Involve?

Treatment will always be tailored to you, but commonly includes:

  • Full assessment of Jaw Movement, Posture, and Neck Mobility

  • Hands-on therapy to reduce Muscle Tension around the Jaw, Neck, and Shoulders

  • Exercises to improve Control, Mobility, and Load Tolerance

  • Breathing and Relaxation techniques to reduce overload and Clenching

  • Guidance on habit change, like avoiding prolonged chewing or Jaw Locking

  • Collaboration with Dentists or Consultants where appropriate

You Don’t Need to “Just Live With It”

TMJ pain often creeps in gradually and becomes something you “manage” rather than treat. But we see great results when people finally get the right diagnosis and rehab approach.

Whether your TMJ pain is mild but annoying, or has become something you think about every day — we’re here to help.
