Specialist Treatment for Jaw Pain, Clicking, and TMJ Dysfunction

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction, often referred to as TMJ or TMD, can significantly affect your daily life. From persistent jaw pain and headaches to difficulty chewing or speaking, these symptoms can feel overwhelming and disruptive. At Bodybalance Physiotherapy in Golders Green, we provide specialist TMJ physiotherapy designed to relieve pain, restore normal jaw function, and help you feel in control again.

Our approach is evidence-led, highly personalised, and focused on long-term results rather than short-term fixes.

What Is TMJ Dysfunction?

The temporomandibular joint connects your jaw to your skull and plays a vital role in everyday movements such as talking, eating, and yawning. When this joint or the surrounding muscles become irritated or misaligned, it can lead to a range of symptoms, including:

Jaw pain or tenderness
Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds
Jaw locking or restricted movement
Headaches or migraines
Facial pain or tension
Ear pain or pressure without infection

TMJ dysfunction can develop due to stress-related clenching, teeth grinding, poor posture, injury, or muscular imbalance. Identifying the root cause is key to effective treatment.

Our Specialist TMJ Physiotherapy Approach

At our Golders Green clinic, TMJ rehabilitation is delivered by our specialist physiotherapist, Mor Kliger Tendler, who has advanced expertise in managing jaw-related conditions.

We combine hands-on treatment with targeted rehabilitation strategies to address both symptoms and underlying causes.

Personalised Assessment

Your first session includes a detailed assessment of your jaw, neck, posture, and movement patterns. We take time to understand your symptoms, triggers, and lifestyle factors to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.

Our TMJ physiotherapy programmes may include:

Manual Therapy

Gentle joint mobilisation and soft tissue techniques to reduce stiffness, improve alignment, and ease discomfort.

Exercise Therapy
