A note on Richmond & Petersham patients

Richmond & Petersham lives outdoors. Mornings might start with laps of Richmond Park, a session on the river or a dog walk across Petersham Meadows. Evenings might mean a play. Your week might include a hard training block, a rugby match, a long performance or a demanding few days in a central London office. If jaw pain, clicking, headaches, migraine or jaw- or neck-related tinnitus are part of your week too, the clinic assesses your jaw, neck and nervous system together.

Why a specialist

Why patients from Richmond & Petersham choose a specialist

  1. 01
    Fifteen years, one focus

    Krina has spent more than 15 years focused on TMD, headache and tinnitus. That depth helps when a runner's headaches or a commuter's clicking jaw do not fit a simple pattern.

  2. 02
    TMD and orofacial pain training

    Her training includes a Masters module in the Assessment and Management of TMD and an Orofacial Pain Clinic placement. It informs how she assesses jaw pain, clenching and facial pain.

  3. 03
    Teaching audiologists

    Krina's background includes invited lecturing on an MSc Audiology programme (2025) and service as an ACPTMD committee member. That background is useful for patients whose tinnitus shifts with jaw or neck movement.

  4. 04
    A published standard of care

    The TMD Physio Standard sets out how the jaw, neck and nerves are assessed together and how plans are built on evidence. You can read it before you book, along with a checklist for choosing any TMJ practitioner.

  5. 05
    Technology inside a plan

    NESA neuromodulation, low-level laser and TMJ Velvet radiofrequency and diathermy are available at the clinic. Each is used where the evidence supports it, always as part of an assessed plan.

What Krina treats

Patients from Richmond & Petersham come to the clinic for four core conditions. Every new patient starts with a full assessment of the jaw, neck and nervous system together, one-to-one with Krina.

Meet Krina — a note on Richmond & Petersham patients

How Krina works with Richmond & Petersham patients

Whether you run, row, cycle or commute from Richmond & Petersham, your day might include: - long hours on a bike - a rowing session - a round of golf - an evening at the laptop If you come with jaw pain, headaches, migraine, a clicking joint or jaw- or neck-related tinnitus, the assessment looks beyond the jaw in isolation. Every new patient starts with a full assessment of the jaw, neck and nervous system together before any treatment begins. Krina then builds a plan from published research and tells you plainly what each option can and cannot do. Clear goals are agreed and reviewed at each visit, so you can track progress together. Where the evidence supports it, technology such as NESA neuromodulation, low-level laser, dry needling or TMJ Velvet radiofrequency and diathermy sits inside that assessed plan, never in place of it. If something needs another specialist, Krina refers on to dentists, ENT or neurology. Every appointment is one-to-one with Krina. If you came looking for a headache physio or migraine physiotherapist, this is a clinic where the jaw and neck are considered side by side.
