In today’s world many of us experience stress at varying levels. Stress coupled with sitting at a desk for prolonged hours hunched over a computer can result with you having a stiff back, neck and shoulders. Many people also experience headaches and a clicking jaw.  Whilst deeply concentrating people tend to hold tension in their jaw or even grind teeth.

A clicking jaw indicates that the TMJ is stiff, not moving as well as it should do. This causes all the muscles relating to the jaw and neck to tighten up. Some people confuse this with head aches, tooth pain or even eye strain.

The treatment to relieve this includes back and head massage, neck mobilisation, work to the jaw and sinus drainage. It is a unique combination leaving most people surprised as to how easy and possible it is to hold so much tension!

This treatment is suitable for people of all ages – it also a great treatment to experience if you have been having some dental or orthodontic treatments. The prolonged treatment with your mouth open whilst the specialist is carrying out their work can again cause the muscles to stiffen.

For this treatment please book a session with the experienced osteopaths who will ease you through the discomfort leaving you feeling relaxed, lighter and able to take a bite!
