TMJ Dysfunction Therapy

TMJ issues rarely exist in isolation. Your care considers the jaw along with the neck, shoulders, breathing patterns, and the daily habits that load the joint and surrounding muscles.

Your plan is built around what actually sets your symptoms off, such as long computer days, frequent phone use, stress clenching, or chewing on one side.

The goal is to help you move and function with more comfort, not just chase symptoms.

Why Choose Fraser Physiotherapy

  • Personalized treatment plans built around your symptoms, triggers, and goals, not a one-size-fits-all routine. You will understand the “why” behind each step.
  • Comprehensive care under one roof, including physiotherapy plus complementary options like massage therapy and acupuncture when appropriate. This can help support pain relief and recovery from multiple angles.
  • Same-day appointment availability when scheduling allows, so you can start sooner instead of waiting and compensating. Early support can make daily life easier while you recover.
  • Clear, supportive communication that helps you feel confident about what is happening and what to do at home. You will get practical guidance you can use right away.
  • Licensed physiotherapists and registered massage therapists in a patient-centered clinic environment. Care is professional, respectful, and focused on your comfort.
  • Accessible care for more people, including acceptance of IFHP clients. Flexible scheduling helps you fit treatment into a busy week.

Who Benefits from
TMJ Rehab

TMJ rehab can help if your jaw symptoms are affecting your comfort, function, or focus day to day, including:

  • Jaw pain or tightness when chewing, talking, yawning, or brushing your teeth
  • Clicking, popping, or grinding noises with jaw movement that come with discomfort or reduced motion
  • Headaches that seem connected to jaw tension, clenching, or neck stiffness
  • Facial or temple pain, or a “tired jaw” feeling by the end of the day
  • Locking, catching, or a feeling that your bite is “off” (even if it comes and goes)
  • Neck and upper back tension that seems to flare alongside jaw symptoms
  • Stress-related clenching or nighttime grinding and you want a plan you can follow
  • People returning to work, school, or caregiving who need tools to manage symptoms while staying active

What to Expect on Your First Visit

Your first visit starts with a detailed conversation about your symptoms, habits, and triggers. We look at how your jaw is moving, what motions provoke pain, and how your neck and upper body may be contributing. From there, your physiotherapist builds a plan that may include gentle hands-on treatment, movement retraining, and specific exercises to improve control and reduce irritation. You will also get clear strategies for day-to-day habits like chewing, posture, sleep positions, and managing clenching.

To make things easy, we will walk you through what to do between appointments, with realistic home exercises that fit your schedule. Follow-up visits focus on progress, adjusting the plan, and building tolerance for normal activities like eating a wider variety of foods or talking longer without flare-ups. If you have relevant notes, imaging reports, or a dental appliance, bring them along.
