Meet Dr. Victoria Bednarczyk

Dr. Victoria Bednarczyk, Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), is a dedicated physiotherapist/physical therapist with a passion for helping patients overcome jaw pain, orofacial dysfunction, and sleep-related challenges.

A Journey into Orofacial Pain

Early in her career, Victoria developed a deep interest in treating individuals suffering from temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and jaw pain. This focus became the foundation of her practice and sparked her curiosity about the broader connections between orofacial pain, airway health, and overall well-being.

Expanding into Sleep Disorders

As she worked with patients experiencing jaw pain, Victoria noticed a recurring pattern: many also struggled with nighttime clenching and poor sleep quality. These observations inspired her to expand her expertise into sleep health.

She pursued advanced training and now holds certifications in both Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (Academy of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy) and Sleep Coaching, complementing her physiotherapy background. Collaborating closely with ENT specialists, respirologists, and airway-focused dentists, she developed an integrated, evidence-based approach.

Through targeted exercises designed to tone and strengthen the muscles of the airway, Victoria has helped patients achieve remarkable outcomes:

• Improved comfort and tolerance with CPAP machines and mandibular advancement devices

• In some cases, significant progress allowing reduced reliance—or complete avoidance—of devices

Commitment to Excellence

Victoria’s commitment to advancing care goes beyond clinical practice. She has contributed to the field with two peer-reviewed publications and remains actively engaged in learning, innovating, and collaborating across disciplines.
