Understanding TMJ Disorders
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects the jaw to the skull. It plays an essential role in daily functions such as chewing, talking, and yawning. Dysfunction in this joint can lead to pain, blockages, joint noises (crunches, snaps), and even headaches or neck tension.
TMJ disorders can be caused by a variety of things, including:
- A misalignment of the jaw
- Bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching)
- Trauma or shock to the jaw
- Excessive muscle tension
- Inadequate posture
How Can Physical Therapy Help?
At Clinique Dimensions Santé, we offer a specialized approach to treat TMJ disorders and help you regain optimal comfort. Our physiotherapists use techniques adapted to:
- Reducing muscle pain and tension thanks to targeted manual therapy.
- Improving jaw mobility and reduce joint blockages.
- Correcting muscular imbalances affecting the ATM and posture.
- Offer specific exercises to restore the proper functioning of the joint.
- Provide personalized advice to avoid recurrences and optimize recovery.

PPAS is a treatment technique used by physiotherapists to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. It involves the insertion of fine sterile needles into specific areas of the body, such as tight muscles or trigger points.
How does it work?
Unlike acupuncture, PPAS is not based on meridians. It is based on anatomical and scientific principles. Inserting needles stimulates the body in a number of ways:
· Muscle relaxation: The needle can help release muscle tension and reduce pain.
· Local inflammatory reaction: This may seem paradoxical, but mild controlled inflammation can promote healing by stimulating the supply of reparative cells.
· Pain modulation: PPAS can influence the nervous system to decrease pain perception.
Does it hurt?
The sensation when the needle is inserted is generally mild, such as a localized prick or cramp. Muscle jerks may occur when handling the needle.
After treatment, it is possible to experience some muscle pain for 24 to 48 hours, or to have a slight bruise.
Who can benefit from it?
PPAS can be effective in treating a variety of conditions, such as:
· Tendinopathies (tendon pain)
· Muscle tension
· Headaches, pains in the jaw, neck, back, back, pelvis, pelvis, pelvis, hips, shoulders, elbows, groins, knees, ankles, calves, etc!
· Sprains
· Sciatalgia, brachialgia, etc.
Important:
· Only physiotherapists who have completed a specific training course of 102 hours and who hold a certificate from the Professional Order of Physiotherapy of Quebec (OPPQ) are authorized to practice PPAS.
At Dimensions Santé, Véronique Coupal, physiotherapist, holds this certificate.
· Your physical therapist will assess your condition and determine if PPAS is appropriate for you.
· You will be informed of the pros and cons of this approach, and your consent will always be required before proceeding with the treatment.
Do not hesitate to ask questions to your physiotherapist if you want to know more about PPAS and if it could benefit you!

What is vestibular rehabilitation and how can physiotherapy help you at the Dimensions Santé Clinic in Saint-Hubert?
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized therapy designed to treat disorders in the vestibular system, which is essential for maintaining balance and stability. Vestibular dysfunctions can cause symptoms such as vertigo, dizziness, balance disorders, as well as coordination problems. These disorders can result from a variety of conditions, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), inner ear infections, head injuries, or neurological disorders.
At the Dimensions Santé Clinic in Saint-Hubert, we offer a vestibular rehabilitation approach adapted to your specific needs. Our goal is to help you regain optimal balance and improve your quality of life through proven physiotherapy techniques. Here is what we offer in physiotherapy for vestibular rehabilitation:
- In-depth assessment : We start with a comprehensive assessment of your vestibular system to identify the underlying causes of your symptoms. This allows us to design a personalized and targeted treatment plan.
- Vestibular rehabilitation exercises : We use specific exercises to train and strengthen your vestibular system. These exercises aim to improve the coordination between your eyes, ears, and brain, reducing vertigo and improving balance.
- Desensitization training : We guide you through desensitization techniques to help your body adapt to the movements that trigger vertigo symptoms. The aim is to decrease sensitivity to vestibular stimuli.
- Postural control rehabilitation : Our physiotherapists teach you strategies to improve your posture and stability. We use exercises that strengthen the muscles needed to maintain balance and prevent falls.
- Management of associated symptoms : We also address complementary symptoms, such as nausea and concentration disorders, using combined approaches to offer overall relief.
- Education and prevention : We provide you with practical tips for managing daily activities and avoiding situations that could worsen your symptoms. We also help you implement prevention strategies to avoid recurrences.
The pathologies most frequently treated in vestibular rehabilitation at our clinic include:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) : A common disorder characterized by episodes of vertigo triggered by changes in head position. Among other things, we use the Epley maneuver, an effective technique to treat BPPV by moving calcium crystals into the inner ear to relieve vertigo.
- Peripheral unilateral lesions : Disorders due to damage in an inner ear, affecting balance and coordination.
- Dynamic Postural Processing Disorder (3PD) : A condition where the vestibular system has difficulty integrating and processing sensory information, leading to persistent vertigo.
- Vestibular sequelae following concussions : Persistent disorders of balance and the vestibular system resulting from head trauma.
At the Dimensions Santé Clinic, our team of physiotherapists specialized in vestibular rehabilitation is dedicated to supporting you throughout your rehabilitation journey. We aim to restore your balance and allow you to return to an active and limitless life.

What is a concussion?
A concussion, or mild craniocerebral trauma (TCCL), is caused by a significant or violent impact to the head or body, causing a temporary disturbance in brain function. Symptoms may include headaches, dizziness, nausea, concentration disorders, sleep disorders, mood changes, and many more. Although often considered benign, a concussion can have lasting consequences for cognitive and physical health.
The length of time it takes to heal from a concussion varies from person to person, but most individuals see significant improvement in 2 to 4 weeks with appropriate treatment and rest. However, some symptoms may persist for longer, requiring continued medical attention.

We offer specific exercises to treat balance disorders, vertigo and visual coordination problems, in order to restore normal functioning and reduce associated symptoms.
- Education and prevention : We provide you with tips on best practices to avoid recurrences and to manage physical activities safely after a concussion.
How can occupational therapy at the Dimensions Santé Clinic in Saint-Hubert help you?

The occupational therapist offers strategies to manage persistent symptoms, such as relaxation techniques, strategies for the gradual resumption of activities, environmental adjustments, therapeutic activities, etc. In short, the occupational therapist helps individuals overcome the challenges posed by concussions and persistent symptoms, by promoting their recovery and their return to an active and balanced life.
