TMJ Therapy®

The TMJ or temporomandibular joint is the joint that connects the jaw to the skull.

It is probably one of the most over worked joints in the human body.

Just think about how much talking, eating, swallowing and yawning you do every hour of the day.

Does your jaw click when you open and close your mouth?

Do you clench your jaw at night and/or  grind our teeth. This is often a signal of other emotional issues  occurring such as anxiety or stress.

Did you know that even a trip to the  dentist can cause your jaw to slip out of alignment, especially if we  have been required to have our jaw open for long periods.

TMJ dysfunction is sometimes known as the “hidden imposter” as it can  mimic other musculoskeletal problems and can affect around 30% of the  population – how massive is that!

TMJ Therapy®  was developed by Bowen therapist, Ron Phelan, and when combined with Bowen Therapy it really is a match made in heaven.

TMJ moves can help alleviate symptoms such as neck pain, back pain,  headaches, migraines, clicking jaw, and bruxism – and together TMJ  Therapy and Bowen Therapy can offer pain relief when it is restored to  balance.

TMJ work is also beneficial when working with women’s hormones as it can impact the pituitary gland which regulates  growth, metabolism, and reproduction through the hormones LH and FSH  that it produces and then converts into oestrogen.

Once again, Bowen Therapy and an umbrella discipline like TMJ work  can have remarkable effects for those suffering long term pain.
