TMJ (temporomandibular joint) treatment focuses on restoring comfort, mobility and balance to the jaw. Although symptoms are often felt in the temporomandibular joint itself, they are often also influenced by tension patterns in the neck, shoulders, breathing, posture and stress. Therefore, treatment looks at the jaw as part of a larger whole and not just as a local problem.
Treatment may include working with the masticatory muscles, facial, neck and throat tissues, and, if necessary, craniosacral therapy methods. The goal is to reduce tension, improve tissue mobility, and support the natural function of the jaw. At the same time, awareness can be raised of habits such as clenching or clenching the jaw, which often occur unconsciously.
Many people find that tension in the jaw area is closely related to stress, concentration, breathing patterns, and general body strain. The goal of treatment is to help the jaw function more freely and comfortably, and to reduce unnecessary tension in the head, neck, and upper body.

• For jaw pain, tension and stiffness
• Teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism)
• For clicking or discomfort in the jaw joint

• Pain or a feeling of pressure in the facial area
• For tension in the neck, throat and shoulders
• Limited mouth opening or asymmetrical movement
• Stress-related tension patterns
• Posture problems that affect the position of the head and jaw
• To support dental care, orthodontic treatment or rehabilitation
Possible benefits:
• Improvement of jaw mobility and function
• Reduction of tension in the face, head and neck
• Increased awareness of biting and tension habits
• Easier breathing and less tightness in the throat area
• Relief of tension headaches
• Better comfort when eating and talking
