  I can’t recommend Chris at More Than Physio highly enough! Over the last 12 months (on and off) I’d suffered excruciating facial pain for weeks on end, unable to open my mouth to talk or eat at times, terrible brain fog and fatigue like I’d never experienced before. Accompanying those symptoms were the most intense and debilitating migraines I’ve ever had. Upon seeing my GP, I was sent for a Brain MRI which thankfully came back all clear. However, my GP was stumped and basically threw his hands in the air and told me to “go get a massage”.. that left me feeling quite hopeless. Over the next few months the symptoms dissipated until I was back to “normal”. There were a few small “flare ups” but nothing major until about 6-7 weeks ago when the symptoms returned with force. After mentioning to a relative what my symptoms were, they suggested it may be TMJ. After researching TMJ, it sounded exactly like what I was experiencing. I started searching for a Physio who specialized in treating TMJ which led me to More Than Physio. I felt so at ease with Chris straight away because he truly understood the invisible pain I was describing and reassured me I wasn’t imaging the pain. After the very first session, I could feel a difference! It made me so hopeful that Chris could help me get this condition under control. I walked away after that first session knowing I’d found the right person to treat me. I’m so grateful to Chris and the care he’s provided over the last 6 weeks or so. I’ve also been given some self massage techniques to use but also know I can go and see Chris again if I need to. Absolutely recommend!

  My experience has been nothing but positive from the moment I made an appointment to receiving treatment. Everything has been very professional and caring at the same time.
  The time & detail taken to understand and diagnose my issue was really good & it has meant I was diagnosed correctly so I now feel like I understand my issue and causes & can make improvements towards no more headaches & pain!
  I am still early in my treatment but have seen great results so far.
  Would highly recommend.

  I've already recommended this clinic to several of my friends. I went to see them for headaches and jaw and face pain and earache. The owner gave me a very thorough phone consultation (at no charge) to understand my issues and propose a way forward. I was able to get an appointment the same week. I use a smart watch to track my sleep and I saw improvement on the very first night - partly from the treatment and partly just from some simple advice about how to position my body and pillows to facilitate airflow. I was impressed because the smart watch showed how much of a difference even that small adjustment made. I'm so happy with the team and really encouraged by the changes I'm already seeing. If you're having sleep or grinding/clenching issues, can absolutely recommend them. They have also given me some exercises I can do at home to relieve my pain and manage symptoms. Totally worth it.

  I have been very impressed by the service and treatment at Melbourne TMJ & Facial Pain clinic, particularly from Chris who I have seen. In just a few treatments I have already seen improvements, and the at home exercise program has been fantastic for learning how to begin self-management. Chris' approach is very holistic and thorough, and he's been very reassuring. I am grateful for the trust and good rapport he has built with me already. There is a clear goal to improve things to a point where I can self-manage in the long-term rather than continually return for endless treatments. Impressed is an understand, I cannot recommend Chris and the clinic enough!
