Narrow Gate Physiotherapy has experts in TMJ (jaw) pain who work closely with jaw specialists in Belmore. Whether you need relief and rehabilitation after surgery, or you want to prevent issues from progressing, our team is here to help you get your jaw moving and functioning comfortably again.
Living with jaw pain or a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder is no joke! Jaw pain is very common—approximately 70% of people will experience it at some point in their lives. It can affect every aspect of daily life, from eating and speaking to sleeping.
At Narrow Gate Physiotherapy, we have two specialists in TMJ disorders who have developed strong relationships with local jaw specialists in Belmore. This ensures you receive continuous, effective care from a coordinated team of experts.
TMJ (jaw) pain can present in many ways, including:
Pain in your jaw or under your ear when eating or speaking
Clicking, grinding, or popping sensations when opening or closing your mouth
Sudden locking or jamming of the jaw (which can be quite painful)
Difficulty opening your mouth fully or discomfort when doing so
Pain radiating to the neck, face, ears, or back
Headaches, dizziness, or tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Irregular jaw movement
Pain or pressure behind the eyes
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to see a dentist, TMJ physiotherapist, or maxillofacial specialist.
Tip: If your pain is more than 2/10 or has persisted for several days, don’t wait—consult the professionals for expert assessment and treatment.
At Narrow Gate Physiotherapy we take a staged approach to recovery from jaw pain. This starts with a comprehensive interview with you, followed by the physical examination in which we determine the source of your jaw pain.
We have a staged Recovery Plan. We work quickly over the first few weeks to reduce your symptoms as quickly as possible and then change our focus to addressing the underlying source of your TMJ symptoms. Jaw pain can be complex and mulitifactorial. Our physios are experts in addressing all of your concerns and you will leave with a much better understanding of your condition, what you should and shouldn’t do and an understanding of what you need to be doing to get your jaw feeling great again.
There are a variety of different treatment techniques, knowing that every jaw and every human is different and responds differently!
Our treatment is tailored to you, with simple exercises and evident results. You will have a say in how quickly you get out of pain and how long term your results will be (we will always be recommending a complete, long term recovery!).
At Narrow Gate Physiotherapy, we are proud to be Belmore’s jaw pain and TMJ experts! Our modern physiotherapy clinic features private treatment rooms, ensuring you feel comfortable and at ease from the moment you walk in.

Narrow Gate Physiotherapy has special interest and expertise in musculoskeletal health. In particular, we work with postural dysfunction, sports injury, aged care and men’s health.
Postural dysfunction is common in sedentary populations like desk workers and people engaged in repetitive work that requires prolonged postures. We look holistically at the neck, back and shoulder joint and muscular imbalances to quickly solve this issue for good.
Sports injuries vary from gym-related, soccer, basketball, track and other high impact activities. We work closely with your goals and coach to take an ‘active recovery’ where you are still maintaining strength, flexibility and cardiorespiratory condition whilst your primary injury is healing. We always aim for fast, strong and lasting returns to sport.
Aged care is our passionate project to give back to the elders who have created the Australia we know today. We know balance, strength, flexibility & endurance are needed for easy transfers from bed, sitting and standing and to enjoy the daily activities that make retirement worthwhile. This includes getting to the floor to play with the grandkids and enjoying a sandy beach walk.
Men’s health is Narrow Gate Physiotherapy’s signature area of special interest. Men’s health physiotherapy is an emerging specialty that solves problems with prostate cancer, pelvic pain, erectile dysfunction, stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence and bowel incontinence. We use the latest research to support our holistic approach to these growing issues within men’s health.
