Musculoskeletal Pain-Care Specialist
I work with people experiencing persistent and complex musculoskeletal pain, including jaw pain and TMJ-related issues.
My approach is to take time to understand what you’re experiencing, and to work together in a practical way — noticing change as it happens and helping you make sense of your body as we work.
What working together looks like
Working together is unhurried and collaborative.
We will usually start by exploring what’s been happening — how symptoms are felt and how they show up day to day. From there, I’ll suggest an approach shaped around what seems most relevant and useful at that point.
I will likely make some self-care suggestions for when you are back home.
The focus throughout is on making sense of how your body is responding, checking what’s changing as we go, and working in a way that feels measured and supportive.
About Steven
I’m a musculoskeletal pain-care specialist working primarily with persistent and complex pain. Over time, this work has increasingly focused on jaw pain and TMJ-related issues.
My work is shaped by both professional training and personal experience of living with chronic pain.
Living with pain myself has influenced how I work, particularly the importance of feeling understood and having clear, practical support that makes sense day to day.
I also offer online consultations specifically for TMJ and jaw-related concerns, where the focus is on understanding what’s driving symptoms and supporting practical self-care between sessions.

TMJ and Jaw Pain
While I work with a range of musculoskeletal pain issues, a significant part of my work focuses on jaw pain and TMJ / TMD.
Jaw pain is rarely just a local issue. It’s often influenced by factors such as muscle tension, breathing patterns, stress, habits like clenching or breath-holding, and how the nervous system is responding over time.
For a clearer overview of how I approach TMJ / TMD and jaw pain — and whether this type of care may be a good fit for you — you can read the TMJ page.
I also offer online consultations specifically for TMJ and jaw-related concerns, where the focus is on understanding what’s driving symptoms and supporting practical self-care between sessions.
