TEMPEROMANDIBULAR JOINT DYSFUNCTION
& CERVICOGENIC HEADACHES
The jaw (TMJ) can cause problems for many people, presenting with or without pain and associated impact on day to day activities. Additionally, we work with clients experiencing headaches and postural malalignment related to their neck and jaw.
Whether supporting clients pre and post operatively, or for conservative (non-surgical) management, physiotherapy can contribute to pain reduction and restoration of function through soft tissue techniques, home management strategies, acupuncture and postural re-education.

ACUTE INJURIES
Physiotherapy is a very effective intervention in management of acute injuries. With a full clinical and functional assessment, a responsive treatment plan can be put in place to facilitate optimal healing and return to function, be that for day to day activities or sports.
Treatments will typically include soft tissue work, targeted rehabilitation exercises, adjuncts such as acupuncture or taping and development of strategies to minimise future risk.

CHRONIC PAIN
Getting to the root of chronic pain is the key to long term management. Day to day activities, genetic factors, posture, injury history and many other elements can contribute to unresolved pain and our aim is to help you to establish what is causing the pain, not just manage the symptoms.
