Did you know that poor posture can contribute to TMJ symptoms?
Many patients with Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder also experience neck pain, shoulder pain, upper back discomfort, headaches, and jaw muscle fatigue. Poor posture places excessive strain on the jaw, neck, and surrounding muscles, which may worsen these symptoms over time.
At Mara Dental Care, we take a comprehensive approach to TMJ management. Along with your dental treatment, we also encourage posture correction through guided Pilates.
👩⚕️ Dr. Melody Mara is a Certified Pilates Instructor who can guide you through safe, posture-focused exercises designed to:
✔️ Improve posture and spinal alignment
✔️ Strengthen the neck, shoulder, core, and jaw-supporting muscles
✔️ Reduce muscle tension associated with TMJ disorders
✔️ Improve body mechanics that support long-term jaw function
Choose the session that best fits your needs:
• Duo Pilates
• Trio Pilates
• Private One-on-One Pilates
A healthier posture can support a healthier jaw.
📅 Book your TMJ consultation and Pilates session in advance. We look forward to helping you achieve better posture, reduced pain, and improved quality of life.
