Jaw pain can feel overwhelming — especially when it affects your ability to speak, eat, or focus. In this episode, April Patterson breaks down what TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction really is, why it happens, and most importantly — what actually helps.

From muscle tension and poor posture to stress, hypermobility and compensatory movement patterns, we explore the many reasons why jaw pain can arise — and why treating it isn't just about the jaw.

Learn how conservative care (no surgery, no injections) can lead to real results through manual therapy, exercise, posture support, and patient-centred education. April shares practical insights from clinical experience, pain science, and personal understanding to help you take back control — whether you’re living with TMD or supporting others who are.

You’ll also hear tips on:

• How posture affects jaw stability
• Why strengthening (not just stretching) matters
• What to look for in a good practitioner
• The link between stress, pain, and the jaw
• And how to build long-term resilience, not just quick fixes

This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with persistent jaw pain — or wanting to better understand it from a whole-body, whole-person approach.
