TMJ Therapy in King West Toronto
Our TMJ therapy blends targeted manual techniques, corrective work, and holistic approaches to relieve jaw pain, restore mobility, and reduce dysfunction. At S1NERGY Performance Therapy, we help clients get back to pain-free chewing, talking, and living, without being held back by TMJ issues.
What is TMJ Therapy?
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction involves pain, stiffness, clicking, or limited motion in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. At S1NERGY in King West Toronto, our TMJ therapy targets the root causes — including muscle tension, fascial restrictions, posture, and joint mechanics — to help restore healthy jaw movement and long-term function.
Benefits of TMJ Therapy
Pain Relief – ease jaw, facial, and ear discomfort caused by TMJ dysfunction
Improved Mobility – restore jaw opening, side-to-side movement, and flexibility
Reduced Tension – release overactive muscles responsible for jaw clenching
Better Function – support chewing, speaking, and daily use without pain

TMJ Therapy Techniques We Use

Targeted pressure to deactivate painful knots in jaw muscles and reduce referred pain.

FAQs
Will TMJ therapy hurt?
Some techniques may feel intense as tension is released, but care and communication are prioritized. You should feel relief, not sharp pain.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on severity, chronicity, and response to treatment. Many clients see improvements within a few sessions, but deeper issues may require longer-term care.
Is TMJ therapy covered by insurance?
In many cases, yes. TMJ therapy is often billed under “massage therapy” or “manual therapy.” Always check with your provider.
Can this therapy help jaw clicking or popping?
Yes. By improving muscle balance, joint mechanics, and tissue mobility, clicking and popping can be reduced or eliminated over time.
Are there exercises I need to do at home?
Yes, we’ll prescribe jaw mobility, posture, and relaxation exercises to support in-clinic therapy and reinforce results.
