Yes. An experienced physiotherapist can help with TMJ dysfunction by providing manual therapy, exercises and education to improve jaw mobility and reduce pain.
There are four key stages of TMJ dysfunction. Stage 1 is the early stage with minimal symptoms. Stage 2 brings progressive symptoms with occasional joint clicking or popping. Stage 3 involves persistent symptoms with limited jaw movement. Stage 4 is severe dysfunction with significant pain, limited jaw movement and possible joint degeneration. Early intervention is best, so always seek advice if you’re experiencing TMD symptoms.
Massaging the jaw muscles with gentle, circular motions can help relieve tension and reduce joint and myofascial pain. We recommend seeing your physio to learn the correct technique.
A simple jaw-opening exercise may help improve jaw mobility and strengthen the muscles surrounding the TMJ. Place your thumb under your chin and gently press down, opening your mouth against the resistance. Hold this position for a few seconds, then close your mouth slowly. Seek the advice of your physio before attempting this exercise.
