✨What is TMJ?✨

TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint. It connects the lower jaw (mandible) to the skull at the temporal bone. This joint is located just in front of the ear on each side of the head and allows your jaw to move when you talk, chew, and yawn.

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) can cause pain in the jaw joint and surrounding areas, along with symptoms such as frequent headaches, teeth grinding or clenching, clicking or popping when opening and closing the mouth, ringing in the ears, and jaw tension or stiffness.

The good news is that many people experience relief quickly with the right TMJ treatment. Our team of experienced TMJ Physiotherapists and massage therapists can help reduce pain, restore movement, and improve function. Sara, Elizabeth, Zac, and Roxanne are here to support you through your recovery.

💡Pro tip: While waiting for your appointment, try to avoid chewing gum, biting your nails, or resting your chin on your hand, these habits can increase strain on the jaw.

We are back with another Term Tip Tuesday!

Today's word is a two parter! Bursa and Bursitis

👉 A bursa is a small fluid-filled sac located between a bone and a tendon or muscle that helps to reduce friction and provide cushioning during movement.

👉 Bursitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the bursa, which can cause pain, swelling, and limited range of motion.

Physiotherapy treatment for bursitis may include modalities such as ice or heat therapy, manual therapy techniques, exercise prescription, and education on proper joint mechanics and posture. Bursitis most commonly affects shoulders, elbows, hips and knees.

🌸 Spring is officially here! We’re so happy to welcome brighter days and say goodbye to the cold.

As season's change, our squeaky clean indoor environment does not. As a friendly reminder, please continue to remove your outdoor shoes when you arrive. Our team works hard to keep the clinic clean, and this small step makes a big difference.

Complimentary slippers are available if you’d like to use them. Thank you so much for your understanding and cooperation! 😊

Have you met Zac yet?

Zac is the newest Physiotherapist to join the Inertia team! He’s been with us since August 2025 and brings 8 years of hands-on Physiotherapy experience to the clinic. His clinical interests include TMJ, headaches/migraines, neck and tinnitus. As a big sports fan, he also enjoys treating sports-related injuries.

Zac’s biggest piece of advice for patients?
“Where you feel pain isn’t always the source, it’s often a symptom coming from somewhere else.”

He loves problem-solving, getting to the root cause of pain, and helping patients move and feel better long term.

Outside of the clinic, Zac can be found spending time with his fiancée and their dog, Riley. He enjoys travelling, playing video games, and watching sports. Ask him about a game and chances are, he watched it!

With 6 years of education at the University of Ottawa and years of real-world experience, Zac is a wonderful addition to the Inertia Physio+ team.

Book your assessment with Zac today!

Did you know that spring is one of the busiest seasons for tournaments, sports, and school for our kids?

Many seasonal sports overlap during the March and April months, which means kids are often balancing multiple practices, games, and competitions at the same time. With such busy schedules, it’s important to make sure they’re also taking proper care of their bodies.

High-intensity sports place added stress on growing muscles and joints, even at a young age. Without enough recovery, strength, and movement support, this can increase the risk of overuse injuries, pain, and burnout.

Physiotherapy helps support growing bodies by improving strength, flexibility, coordination, and movement patterns, allowing kids to stay active, recover properly, and continue doing what they love safely and confidently.

Our clinic is for all ages! Taking care of the body early sets the foundation for a lifetime of movement 💛

Have you heard of Gua Sha? ✨

Gua Sha is an ancient healing technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It’s a natural, non-invasive treatment that uses a smooth-edged tool to gently glide over the skin along the body’s meridian lines.

This technique helps to release stagnated energy, reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation, and support overall well-being.

In our clinic, we use specialized Gua Sha tools, such as jade and bian stone, to enhance the effectiveness of each treatment while keeping it gentle and comfortable.

Our TCM practitioner Lei works closely with every client to create a personalized treatment plan based on their unique needs. All treatments are provided with attentive care in a private, relaxing space to ensure you feel comfortable throughout your visit.

Downtime at the clinic (while very rare) usually means learning and movement… and sometimes some creativity 😄

Never a dull moment at Inertia. We love this team!

Any guesses what stretches or exercises Natasha and Jayson are trying here? 👀

Pelvic Health Therapy is one of the most under-discussed areas of Physiotherapy, yet it plays a vital role in overall health and function.

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that form a hammock-like structure at the base of the pelvis. These muscles support the pelvic organs and help with bladder and bowel control, core stability, and movement.

When the pelvic floor muscles become weak, tight, or injured, a range of concerns can arise, including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and pelvic pain.

Pelvic Health Therapy is a specialized form of Physiotherapy that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues of the pelvic region. Its goal is to help individuals restore strength, flexibility, and control, improving function and quality of life.

We are lucky to have Alisha on our team, providing Pelvic Health Physiotherapy services. Alisha enjoys helping individuals regain control over their pelvic health.

It's time for another Terminology Tip Tuesday!! Find our more about Dislocations below 👇

Dislocation is a joint injury that occurs when the bones in a joint are forced out of their normal position, causing the joint to become unstable and painful.

Physiotherapy treatment for dislocation typically involves reducing pain and inflammation, restoring joint mobility and stability, and improving strength and function through exercise and manual therapy techniques.

If dislocation is something you experience regularly consider booking an assessment!
