My name is Ari Esterman, and I am the Senior Physiotherapist and owner of Melbourne Family Physiotherapy.

With over 10 years of experience in private practice, I have developed a deep passion and expertise in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions—with a particular focus on TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders and myofascial pain.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with patients experiencing acute and chronic pain, including spinal conditions, fibromyalgia, headaches, and migraines. My background also includes managing pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation, casting, bracing, and treating adolescent and paediatric conditions.

I have had the privilege of running a fracture clinic in Sydney, working closely with surgeons on casting, boot care, and wound management. This hands-on experience has strengthened my holistic approach to patient care.

When it comes to TMJ disorders, I understand the significant impact jaw pain, clicking, locking, and associated headaches can have on everyday life. My approach to TMJ treatment combines advanced physiotherapy techniques, including myofascial release, dry needling, and tailored strengthening programs. I work closely with each patient to address the root cause of their pain and restore optimal jaw function.

At Melbourne Family Physiotherapy, we take pride in offering compassionate, evidence-based care. I look forward to supporting you on your journey to better health.
