KINETOTERAPIE ATM

Temporomandibular joint

TMJ Kinetotherapy is a functional, non-invasive, non-invasive treatment essential in the management of jaw joint dysfunction. Pain in the jaw, cracking when opening the mouth or the sensation of locking are common symptoms of this condition, which affects speech, eating and overall quality of life.
The approach begins with a detailed functional assessment of the TMJ joint, cervical posture and muscles involved. Based on this assessment, the physiotherapist develops a personalized plan that may include: relaxation and stretching exercises, muscle retraining, motor control exercises, joint mobilization techniques and global postural retraining.
Frequently, TMJ dysfunctions are associated with stress, bruxism or cervical posture imbalances, which is why treatment also aims to correct the underlying causes of the problem.
The therapy is gentle, tailored to the individual patient's pace, and progress is often seen within the first few sessions. We recommend including this treatment as early as possible to avoid complications or stiffening of the joint over time.
