Does your jaw click, lock, or ache when you yawn, chew, or talk?
You’re not alone—and it’s not “just stress.”
In this episode of the Physio for You Podcast, registered physiotherapist Giri Srinivasan breaks down TMJ disorders (TMD)—one of the most commonly overlooked causes of jaw pain, facial pain, headaches, and neck pain.
You’ll learn:
What TMJ / TMD actually is and why it happens
Why jaw clicking, popping, or locking is not normal
How stress, posture, clenching, grinding, car accidents, and sports injuries affect the jaw
What a proper TMJ physiotherapy assessment looks like (posture, jaw movement, muscle testing, joint mechanics, bite patterns)
Why jaw pain rarely fixes itself—and what actually works
Your jaw doesn’t exist in isolation. Neck posture, breathing patterns, muscle tension, and nervous system stress all play a role. That’s why TMJ treatment needs more than mouth guards or waiting it out—it needs a full physiotherapy-based approach.
If you’re dealing with:
Jaw pain when eating or yawning
Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
Facial pain, tension headaches, or neck pain
Pain after a car accident or sports injury
Stress-related clenching or grinding
Physiotherapy can help.
Pain-free talking, eating, laughing, and living isn’t a dream—it’s a plan.
Watch, share, and subscribe for more evidence-based insights from Physio for You, where science meets movement and recovery becomes possible.
Whether it started after a car accident, years of clenching, or from bad desk posture, TMJ disorders need proper assessment and treatment. Learn how physio can help you return to pain-free talking, eating, yawning, and laughing.
