Jaw Pain & TMJ at home in Wotton-under-Edge
Raj and his team provide treatment for jaw pain and TMJ problems at home in Wotton-under-Edge and the surrounding area. They come to you, whether you're in the town centre or the surrounding area.
The jaw joint (the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ) sits just in front of the ear. When it or the muscles around it are not working well, it can cause jaw pain, clicking, a jaw that gets stuck, trouble opening your mouth wide, earache, or headaches around the temples.
Clenching or grinding your teeth, stress, a stiff neck and the way you sit can all play a part. Physiotherapy is one of the main treatments. It usually includes gentle hands-on work on the jaw and neck muscles, simple exercises to help the jaw move smoothly, and advice on habits such as clenching.
Anna on the team has a special interest in jaw (TMJ) problems, and she is also a massage therapist.

Local FAQs for Wotton-under-Edge
Is there a travel fee for Wotton-under-Edge?
There may be a travel charge depending on how far the team has to come. They will confirm any extra cost during your free phone enquiry.
How long is a visit?
Visits are not rushed or timed to the minute. Most last 30 to 40 minutes, and the team stays longer when you need it. The first visit includes a full assessment, a talk about your goals, and a plan of exercises.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral needed. You can book directly with My Rehab at Home for private physiotherapy.
Do you cover areas near Wotton-under-Edge?
Yes, they cover Wotton-under-Edge and the towns and villages around it across Gloucestershire.
Should I see a dentist as well?
If you grind your teeth at night, a dentist can check for wear and may suggest a mouth guard. Physiotherapy and dental care often work well together.
When should I get urgent help instead?
See a doctor or dentist quickly if your jaw is locked and will not open or close, or if you have swelling, a fever or numbness in your face. Call 999 if jaw pain comes with chest pain or breathlessness, as it can be a sign of a heart problem.
