TMJ Physiotherapy Brisbane
What Is TMJ?
TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint, which is the joint that allows your jaw to move when you talk, chew, yawn, or laugh.
When this joint or the surrounding muscles become irritated, everyday movements can start to feel uncomfortable. Jaw pain, clicking, headaches, facial tension, and stiffness are common signs, often linked to stress, teeth grinding, posture, or prolonged muscle tension.
How Physiophi Helps Support TMJ Pain
TMJ pain isn’t just about the jaw — it’s often connected to the neck, shoulders, posture, and daily habits. At PhysioPhi, treatment focuses on easing tension, improving jaw movement, and addressing the underlying causes of discomfort.
With hands-on therapy, guided exercises, and practical advice, we help reduce pain while restoring confidence in everyday movement.
