Our TMJ Services

Joint mobilisation

Your jaw and neck are closely connected, so we don't treat the jaw in isolation. We assess and treat the neck muscles and posture that may be contributing to your jaw issues.

Improving neck function often improves jaw alignment and reduces pain at the same time.

Neck Treatment

Dry Needling & Trigger Point Therapy

This therapy involves inserting fine, sterile needles or applying direct pressure to release tight knots (trigger points) in the muscles. It's particularly effective for reducing referred pain and calming overactive jaw and neck muscles that don't respond to massage alone.

Using gentle, controlled movements of the jaw and neck joints, we work to restore mobility, reduce stiffness, and ease pain at the source.

Every technique is measured to your comfort and condition, making it suitable even if you're anxious about jaw treatment.

TMJ Massage & Jaw Muscle Release

Joint Mobilisation

We use targeted massage techniques around your jaw, neck and face to relieve muscle tension and reduce discomfort caused by clenching, overuse or stress.

This hands-on release helps loosen tight muscles that contribute to pain, clicking and restricted movement.
