Persistent headaches and jaw pain can feel like a silent battle, one that affects your sleep, mood, and ability to focus. At PROHEALTH Physio & Fitness (EP), we understand how disruptive these symptoms can be, and we’re here to help you reclaim comfort and control.
Why Headaches and Jaw Pain Are Often Connected
Many people don’t realise that headaches and jaw pain often stem from the same underlying issue: dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This joint connects your jawbone to your skull and plays a vital role in everyday activities like chewing, speaking, and yawning.
When the TMJ or surrounding muscles become irritated—due to stress, poor posture, teeth grinding, or injury—it can lead to:
- Tension-type headaches
- Clicking or locking of the jaw
- Pain around the temples, ears, or neck
- Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
How PROHEALTH Physio & Fitness Can Help
Our team of experienced physiotherapists and exercise physiologists (EPs) takes a holistic, evidence-based approach to treating headaches and jaw pain. Here’s what you can expect:
- Thorough Assessment
We begin with a detailed evaluation of your symptoms, posture, jaw movement, and muscle tension. This helps us identify the root cause of your discomfort—whether it’s muscular, joint-related, or stress-induced.
- Hands-On Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapists use targeted techniques to relieve pain and restore function, including:
- Manual therapy to release tight jaw and neck muscles
- Joint mobilisation to improve TMJ movement
- Postural correction to reduce strain on the head and jaw
- Personalised Exercise Programs
Our EPs design custom exercise plans to strengthen supporting muscles, improve posture, and prevent future flare-ups. These programs may include:
- Jaw mobility exercises
- Neck and shoulder strengthening
- Relaxation and breathing techniques
- Education on habits that contribute to pain (e.g., clenching, poor ergonomics)
