Jaw (TMJ) physiotherapy in Brussels
Pain, clicking or locking of the jaw: targeted rehabilitation of the temporomandibular joint and the neck.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the jaw to the skull, just in front of the ear. It works every time you speak, chew or swallow.
TMJ problems are common: pain, clicking, locking or limited mouth opening, clenching. They often come with neck tension and headaches.
At Kiné Châtelain in Ixelles, Guillaume Lataste specialises in neck and jaw rehabilitation. He treats the jaw and the neck together, working with your dentist or orthodontist when needed.

Frequently asked questions
Can a physiotherapist treat the jaw?
Yes. Temporomandibular joint rehabilitation is part of physiotherapy, often in collaboration with your dentist or orthodontist.
Why treat the neck as well?
The jaw and the neck work together: tension in one often keeps the pain going in the other.
Do I need a prescription?
A medical prescription is required to be reimbursed by your health insurance fund.
