Description:
This unique course is designed to complement the muscle energy biomechanical model. The exercises taught to assist the participant in developing an individualized exercise program based upon the patient’s biomechanical findings and help to maintain the changes made after manual therapy treatment.
Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
1) recognize the functional anatomical connections of the upper and lower quarter musculature to the proximal trunk and pelvis;
2) understand the concept of neuromuscular imbalance as a contributor to chronic musculoskeletal dysfunction;
3) learn specific functional movement tests for the upper and lower quarter and manual therapy treatment approaches to address each dysfunctional movement pattern;
4) prescribe specific exercises to refine neuromotor control in both the upper and lower quarter; and
5) develop functional movement exercise programs for patients to incorporate into their home self-management program.

This one day CPD course gives the practitioner a truly global approach to addressing the underlying causes of long term TMJ and Headache problems. The course will discuss the anatomy and assessment of the TMJ as well as the predisposing and maintaining factors that hinder good treatment outcomes. Case scenarios and consent for working with patients with TMJ issues will also be discussed.
The course will explore how the whole body can influence the TMJ and how it in return can influence the body and the posture of the patient.
Course will also include external and intra-oral techniques, including MET and grade 5 manipulation used for TMJ issues. Ideal course for any manual therapist with an interest in this field.
David Lintonbon DO (Osteopath) has over 30 years’ experience working with dental clinics & dental surgeons, allowing him to share genuine clinical experience of treating these issues with everyone on the course.
