Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is the fancy name for your jaw.

This little joint has several important jobs. It allows for eating, talking, yawning and kissing. If you have ever experienced jaw pain, clicking or locking, you know how debilitating these symptoms can be. And just like other joints in the body - physical therapy can alleviate TMJ symptoms.

While there are several causes of TMJ pain, almost all of the solutions involve some aspect of posture modification. The TMJ sits at the top of the complex upper body including your neck, shoulder blades, arms, and upper back. This is why so often jaw pain co-exists with ear pain, headaches, neck pain and shoulder pain.
