During your first TMJ physiotherapy session, the therapist will conduct a thorough assessment of your jaw function, medical history, and symptoms. This may involve observing your jaw movements, palpating the TMJ area, and asking about your pain levels and daily habits. Based on this assessment, a personalized treatment plan will be developed. The session may include initial treatments such as gentle manual therapy, exercises, and education on self-care techniques. The goal is to understand your condition fully and set the foundation for effective treatment.

If you experience symptoms such as jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when you open or close your mouth, frequent headaches, earaches, difficulty chewing, or a locked jaw, you may benefit from TMJ physiotherapy. These symptoms can indicate TMJ dysfunction, and seeking early intervention can prevent the condition from worsening. Consulting with a healthcare professional or physiotherapist can help determine if TMJ physiotherapy is appropriate for your specific symptoms and condition.
