Description
During our TMJ presentation, we are going to focus mostly on the function of TMJ, how physical therapy can work on identifying the dysfunction, postural involvement in dysfunctions. We will then move into soft tissue contractile tissue vs intra-articular problems, OA and techniques involved in decreasing symptoms, improvement of ROM, and functional, strengthening retraining as well as use of appliances and food intake adaptation to assist in and allow patients to resume functional use of jaw, mouth, and education.
Upon completion of this session, attendees should be able to:
- Further understand the rationale and thought process physical therapists put into diagnosing dysfunction.
- Learn and understand how physical therapists work with TMJ-orofacial patients.
- Understand how physical therapists educate and work with patients for long term gains.
