Holistic work that addresses clenching not just in the jaw, but together with stress, breathing, posture and the nervous system.
Appointment: 0 505 586 06 45
Mental and psychological stress, the effort to keep up with responsibilities and physical fatigue make the body tense up; as the load builds, relaxing gets harder. This can show up as teeth clenching, clenching the whole body, pain, fatigue and poor sleep.
We start by regulating the nervous system, then continue with breathing, posture, fascial integrity and exercises specific to the jaw and face.
Who is it for?
- People who clench or grind their teeth during the day or in their sleep
- People who wake up with tired jaw, face or temple muscles
- People who tense their jaw, shoulders and body under stress
- People with headaches and neck pain alongside clenching

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes teeth clenching?
There is no single cause. Stress, sleep patterns, posture, breathing habits and everyday parafunctional habits can all play a part, which is why a holistic assessment matters.
I use a night guard. Will physiotherapy still help?
A night guard helps protect the teeth. Physiotherapy works on muscle tension, posture and the nervous system, offering complementary support alongside the guard.
Is there an online programme?
Yes. You can join our "Holistic Health for Teeth Clenchers" online programme and work with us in short sessions three times a week.
