Hyperacusis & Sound Sensitivity Therapy: A structured, nervous-system-focused approach to help the brain relearn safety and improve tolerance to everyday sounds.
TMJ (Jaw) Physiotherapy: Specialised care for Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJD), addressing jaw pain, clicking, and restricted movement that often co-occur with ear symptoms.
Headache & Migraine Treatment: Targeted therapy for cervicogenic and tension-type headaches originating from the upper neck and surrounding musculature.
Tensor Tympani Syndrome (TTS) Care: Management for "ear fluttering," pressure, or fullness driven by overactive middle ear muscles.
