- 02Grounded in orofacial pain
Her Masters module in the Assessment and Management of TMD and her 2014 Orofacial Pain Clinic placement inform how she assesses jaw and facial pain.
- 03Jaw and headache training
Her training includes CRAFTA® Foundation Parts 1 & 2, the Watson Headache® Foundation Course and the Instituto Rocabado BOSCO TMD course. Your assessment brings the jaw, neck and nervous system together, rather than treating the jaw in isolation.

Meet Krina — a note on Elephant & Castle patients
How Krina works with Elephant & Castle patients
If you are dealing with a jaw that clicks, clenching, headaches or jaw- and neck-related tinnitus, your first appointment with Krina starts with a full assessment of your jaw, neck and nervous system together, not your jaw in isolation. Your treatment plan is built on published research, and Krina explains plainly what each option can and cannot be expected to do. Technology such as NESA neuromodulation, low-level laser or dry needling is added only where the evidence supports it, always inside an assessed plan. Your appointments are one-to-one with Krina. You agree clear goals together and review them at every visit. If anything needs a dentist, ENT or neurology opinion, Krina refers you on.
Wellness · for Elephant & Castle
The Signature Jaw Massage
After a week of deadlines, late service or long rehearsals, The Signature Jaw Massage is time set aside for unwinding. Designed by Krina and delivered by Krina or a therapist personally trained in her protocol, it is a wellness experience, not a clinical treatment, and it sits separately from physiotherapy care.
