TMD Physio for the City of London
The Square Mile is a 20-minute Central line hop from Tottenham Court Road to Bank — or a 12-minute cab. We see a consistent flow of investment banking, insurance and corporate legal patients whose stress-clenching drives their TMD flare pattern.

A note on City of London patients
The Square Mile's investment banking, insurance and corporate-legal teams are our most consistent stress-clencher demographic — 12–14 hour trading and deal-cycle days, high-stakes decisions, and sleep-deprived jaw guarding walk into the clinic on a Wednesday and out with a strategy by Friday. Krina reserves early-morning (7:30am) and late-evening (post-6pm) slots specifically for City patients who can't leave the desk during market hours.
What Krina treats
Patients from City of London come to the clinic for four core conditions. All are treated one-on-one, with time-per-appointment that dental practices and NHS physio triage rarely allow.

Why this catchment ends up here
The Square Mile is our most consistent stress-clencher demographic. Investment banking, insurance and corporate-legal patients arrive with a very specific mechanism — twelve-to-fourteen-hour trading days, high-stakes decisions, chronic sleep debt, and unconscious jaw guarding that becomes measurable bruxism the moment REM sleep gets curtailed. The clinical pattern here almost always includes bilateral temporalis muscle hypertrophy, sleep-onset jaw tension, and a morning-heavy headache profile that patients frequently mistake for dehydration until it stops responding to water. Krina protects two slot windows specifically for City patients — 7:30am and post-6pm on weekdays — because market hours make midday appointments largely impossible. Postgraduate work with the TreatingTMJ Course informs a treatment protocol focused on the interaction between chronic sympathetic drive and the trigeminal system; NESA neuromodulation, which the clinic uniquely offers in the UK, is often part of that plan for high-stress-load patients. The commute is a Central line hop from Bank to Tottenham Court Road in twenty minutes, or a twelve-minute cab. For particularly demanding weeks, we can also front-load treatment into the earlier half of a deal cycle rather than waiting for the flare to bloom.
