What is a TMJ dysfunction?
TMJ dysfunction, also known as temporomandibular joint disorder, affects the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. It can cause jaw pain, facial tension, neck discomfort, and difficulty opening or closing the mouth.
Common causes of TMJ dysfunction include jaw injuries, teeth grinding (bruxism), stress, and certain medical conditions. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain, impacting your daily life.
Effective treatment options are available and may include physiotherapy, manual therapy, lifestyle adjustments, stress management, medication, or in more serious cases, surgical intervention.

Together, you’ll set specific goals for managing your TMJ dysfunction, which may include reducing pain, improving jaw function, or minimizing clicking sounds. The plan will outline the recommended therapies and strategies to achieve these objectives.

What is TMJ dysfunction?
If you’re feeling jaw pain, hearing clicking or popping sounds when you chew, or having trouble opening your mouth fully, you might be experiencing TMJ dysfunction—a common issue affecting the jaw joint, also known as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
This condition can be caused by a range of things, from teeth grinding and stress to injury or poor posture. The symptoms often affect more than just the jaw—they can lead to headaches, neck tension, ear discomfort, and even sleep disturbances.
The good news? TMJ dysfunction is treatable. Through a combination of manual therapy, specific exercises, and lifestyle adjustments, physiotherapy offers a gentle and effective way to reduce pain, restore movement, and prevent future flare-ups. Every treatment is tailored to your needs, with the goal of helping you eat, speak, and smile without discomfort.
If you’re in Barcelona and struggling with TMJ symptoms, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to just live with it.
