Osteopath guiding patient through exercise

How we treat

Treatment may include soft tissue work to the jaw, face and neck muscles, intra-oral release (gloved, inside the mouth, and only with your consent), joint mobilisation, dry needling and treatment of the neck. Scott will give you simple jaw exercises and advice on habits such as clenching, gum chewing, posture and screen use.

Working with your dentist

If you grind your teeth or need a splint, Scott can work alongside your dentist. Some jaw problems need dental or medical review, and he'll let you know if that's the case.
