TMJ Therapy That Goes Beyond the Surface
TMJ physiotherapy at Art of Mobility is more than just massage or jaw exercises. It’s a full-spectrum treatment that focuses on how your jaw, neck, and upper body work together. We look at movement habits, stress patterns, breathing mechanics, and neuromuscular control to create a complete care plan.
Whether your pain is mild, chronic, or stress-related, our hands-on approach helps you restore balance, improve function, and feel better—without relying on night guards or medication alone.
Our Approach to TMJ Physiotherapy
Our treatments combine clinical assessment, soft tissue work, and movement retraining for lasting relief. Here’s how we work:
- Functional Assessment: We evaluate jaw movement, posture, breathing, and neck mobility to identify the cause of your symptoms—not just the symptom itself.
- Manual Therapy: Gentle hands-on techniques are used to release tension in the jaw, neck, and surrounding muscles that contribute to dysfunction.
- TMJ-Specific Rehab: We guide you through jaw control exercises, posture correction, and breathing strategies to restore optimal joint mechanics.
- Nervous System Support: We address the role of stress and nervous system regulation, using techniques that calm muscle guarding and tension patterns.
- Self-Management Tools: You’ll leave with practical, personalized tools to manage symptoms at home and reduce the chance of flare-ups.

Justin Mah, MScPT, BHSc
Hi, my name is Justin Mah, and I am a physiotherapist and performance coach who completed my Masters in Physical Therapy degree from the University of Toronto and BHSc in Biomedical Science from Western University.
Exercise has always been an important aspect of my life as an avid weightlifter, hockey, and yoga athlete. During my younger years, I suffered social anxiety and found it difficult transitioning into high school – exercise and weight training became the outlet to allow me to work on myself and improve my mental health. When I suffered a severe shoulder injury during undergrad that prevented me from working out, I felt like I lost a piece of who I was – I thought I would live with this for the rest of my life. Having gone through this process, I understand what it means to feel like you’re broken. I understand what it means to feel like you lost your way of life, and because of this I made a commitment to help others not suffer in the same way I did. This is my WHY when I made the decision to become a physiotherapist.
My mission is simple – to provide you with the tools to take care of your own body – we only have one body in this life, and my goal is to empower and educate you on this life-long journey. I use a combination of manual therapy, electro-acupuncture, and strengthening and mobility exercise to create a personalized plan of care for you to reach your goals.
When I’m not in the clinic, I’m usually doing any activity related to food – cooking new recipes, trying new restaurants, or experimenting with new smoothies for our smoothie bar. I’ve recently started attending fitness classes at OrangeTheory Fitness, and am learning how to stand up paddleboard (SUP) on the lakefront behind our clinic!

Hi, my name is Colby Ng and I am a chiropractor and completed my Doctor of Chiropractic at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. I also completed my Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of Toronto.
I have been in sports and athletics my whole life, which has pushed me to have big goals. I have my eyes set on many crazy things and know how important it is to have people that can help you do the things that matter most. While reaching my dreams mean a lot to me, I have also been lucky enough to share the joy of other people’s accomplishments. Knowing that I played a small part in helping someone reach their fitness, health, or life goals has empowered me more than I ever thought it would.
I believe that my role as a chiropractor goes beyond providing pain relief. I like to use a combination of manual techniques like deep tissue release, mobilizations, adjustments, and acupuncture to relieve the discomfort. Pairing this with exercises and rehabilitation allows me to provide the long-term relief needed to get you on track towards your goals.
When I am not in the clinic, you will find me chasing my own dreams in the weight room, on the road, on the trail, and on the climbing wall. Right now, I have my eyes set on qualifying for Boston, doing my first Ironman, and planning my next multi-day trek.

Dr. Tanisha Shekdar, Bsc, MSc, ND
Hi and welcome! My name is Tanisha Shekdar and I’m a Naturopathic Doctor. I completed my masters in biotechnology from UofG and I received my doctor of naturopathic medicine degree from The Canadian College of Naturopathic medicine.
I struggled with digestive and skin issues all my life. Sinus infections and dealing with IBS issues was constant for me growing up; not to mention, I was put on antibiotics at least twice a year throughout undergrad. It was when I got shingles at the end of undergrad that things really took a turn for the worse. I felt so alone and hopeless with how I was feeling. I wish someone had told me all the things I have come to learn now about. For me, everything changed when I started pinpointing my food triggers, supporting my immune system, and really understanding how the gut-brain connection which started improving my bloating, mental fog, fatigue, and anxiety. Now, thanks to my experiences and education I can really understand how important stress management, sleep, and diet is to an individual’s physical, mental and emotional health.
I’m a strong believer in educating others which is why one of naturopathic medicine’s philosophies resonates so well with me – Docere literally translates to doctor as teacher. My goal is to empower my clients and provide them with all the knowledge in order to not not only help them feel their best but also to provide them with the tools in order for them to take control of their health!
When I’m not in the clinic, you can find me gardening, prepping for my next fitness competition, experimenting to create the next best gut friendly snack, and planning my next travel adventure!

Hi, my name is Thusheinth Sivarajah and I am a Physiotherapist and Certified Personal Trainer who completed his Master’s in Physical Therapy program at Queen’s University.
Once you get to know me, you’ll realize that there is never a dull moment when you work with me. I am devoted to getting you back to doing what you love while making sure you are having fun during the journey. As an avid weightlifter, martial artist, and volleyball athlete, I have experienced all types of injuries myself – ranging from a common strain to some very severe injuries. These injuries have helped me greatly empathize with my clients, understanding the importance of active rehab for long-term results.
My goal is to make sure every person I work with gets an active solution and is educated and empowered throughout the process. By using a blend of manual therapy (hands-on care, without machines), mobility, and strengthening exercises, I am committed to finding the right treatment approach tailored for you.
When I am not in the clinic, you can find me working out at the gym, doing group fitness classes, walking my dog, or on a court (playing some basketball or beach volleyball).
Click to follow Sonica @Prj.soleil
Hiiieee Friends! My name is Sonica and I have been practicing Yoga for 10 years with a background in Kinesiology and Health Promotions! My journey to becoming a yoga teacher wasn’t easy. I suffered a series of injuries that left me with limited mobility and chronic pain.
Seeking a way to stay active and support my body’s recovery, I turned to yoga as a form of rehabilitation not just for my physical recovery, but for my mental recovery as well. Yoga provided a community and support system that I didn’t even know I needed, but became a huge part of my recovery. Through practice and my understanding of strength and conditioning training, I was able to redefine what movement and activity looked like for me as I discovered and explored my love for yoga.
My classes are rooted in my passion to build community and hold space for women who are exploring, redefining, or deepening what wellness and movement look like to them. I encourage my students to approach their practice with curiosity, play, and compassion as a way to deepen the relationship and connection between their mind and body.
When I’m not teaching yoga, I enjoy staying active through activities such as running, weightlifting, and trying out various fitness classes. Additionally, I have a passion for travel and indulging in diverse cuisines.
Sarah Bonn, Registered Psychotherapist
I worked in the mental health field for the past ten years, supporting adults of all ages through community treatment, social support, and multidisciplinary care. During my time working in the community, I felt a personal and professional shift to better support people with their solution and recovery-focused objectives. My goal with clients is to understand, first and foremost, what they would like to gain from their therapeutic experience, both in-session and outside of our sessions together. I collaborate with each of my clients to create an individualized treatment plan by using an eclectic mix of evidence-based psychotherapy modalities, including (but not limited to) narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and strength-based techniques.
As an avid nature lover, I can help you find strength and healing through grounding and connecting to your identity and landscape. Together, we will focus on respect and empathy as we deeply explore your unique journey and develop personalized tools to cope with your life’s stressors, both past and present. I welcome you to join me in a safe space to slow down, connect with yourself, and determine your intentional path forward. Let’s create the life you deserve!
Outside of the clinic, you can often find me in the woods, on a trail, or near a body of water. My eclectic style is not limited to my therapeutic approach, as I love anything active: running, biking, hiking, swimming, skiing, skating, yoga, camping… and the list goes on!
For any clients who are interested, I will soon be offering “walk and talk” therapy so that we can integrate the benefits of movement and nature into our psychotherapy work together.

TMJ Physiotherapy Toronto, Trinity Bellwoods FAQs
How Do I Know If My Jaw Pain Is Related to TMJ Dysfunction?
While jaw pain can come from several causes, TMJ disorder is often linked to patterns like clenching, jaw fatigue, or stiffness when chewing, talking, or yawning. This condition affects the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull. You might also experience symptoms like ear pressure, headaches, or a clicking or popping sound when opening your mouth.
A physiotherapist trained in assessing the jaw joint and surrounding jaw muscles can help determine whether your discomfort is muscular, joint-related, or due to another issue.
If your TMJ pain worsens with stress, movement, or certain postures, there’s a strong chance it’s tied to temporomandibular joint dysfunction. A personalized assessment is key to identifying the cause and building an effective treatment plan.
Will I Need A Referral From My Dentist Or Doctor?
In most cases, you don’t need a referral to begin treatment for TMJ at Art of Mobility. However, if your physiotherapist notices signs of a more complex temporomandibular joint issue—like joint degeneration, bite misalignment, or advanced bruxism—we may suggest involving your dentist for a collaborative care approach.
We also coordinate with physicians if your TMJ disorder is part of a broader health condition. Direct access means you can book a session without delay, but we always communicate transparently if additional specialists are needed to support your rehabilitation.
What Can I Expect During My First TMJ Appointment
Your first TMJ physiotherapy treatment will begin with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, habits, posture, and stress levels. We’ll assess the movement of your jaw joint, check the function of your jaw muscles, and explore how your neck and shoulders contribute to the discomfort. Hands-on therapy, movement corrections, and home strategies to manage TMJ pain are typically introduced right away.
Depending on your goals—like eating without jaw pain, sleeping better, or reducing headaches—we’ll create a tailored treatment plan. We may also incorporate techniques like acupuncture if it suits your needs and comfort. From day one, our focus is to ease symptoms and start your rehabilitation with clarity and confidence.
How Long Does It Take To See Results From TMJ Physiotherapy?
Many people begin noticing relief within a few sessions, often through reduced jaw tension, better movement, or fewer headaches. That said, the timeline for improvement varies. Mild or recent TMJ disorder may respond quickly—sometimes in 3 to 5 visits—while chronic or severe temporomandibular joint dysfunction may require a more extended treatment plan.
Long-term success depends on consistency with your home exercises, managing stress, and improving posture. We reassess frequently to keep your rehabilitation on track and ensure your care evolves with your progress. Our goal is to deliver lasting change, not just a quick fix.
