How it works
Jaw exercises reduce masseter and temporalis muscle tension, normalise condylar movement, and improve neuromuscular control of the temporomandibular joint. Cervical treatment addresses the cervicogenic headache component.
Physiotherapy for TMD requires a therapist experienced in craniomandibular conditions. Not all physiotherapists are trained in this area. Most effective as part of a multidisciplinary TMD programme.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
