TMJ Management Foundations

Course overview

A comprehensive cranial bodywork course covering palpation of the head, neck and TMJ joint. A broad range of techniques are demonstrated and explored to include a curated blend of many modalities that come together to create a powerful method of cranial bodywork. The cranial bodywork methods applied in the course include cranial palpation, myofascial release of the head and neck, intra oral palpation and release, trigger point release for the head and neck and thermal applications for the head and neck. The cranial bodywork method may be applied in the treatment of TMJD, headaches, sinus dysfunction, and shoulder impingement. Classes are always small group size of between 6 to 8 participants in order to provide participants extraordinary attention to detail and application of these delicate techniques.

The course is taught by a master cranial bodywork method professional that is trained in the techniques and an active clinical practitioner in the practice of cranial bodywork methods.
