Mulligan's Orofacial/TMJ Course
Advertisement
Presented by Mr. Mark Oliver (certified Mulligan concepts teacher), this 2 day practical workshop provides participants with new examination and treatment skills for orofacial pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Appropriately trained manual therapists can assist greatly in management of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). The manual therapist must have a sound knowledge of TMJ and orofacial anatomy, the role of postural disorders and spinal dysfunction on TMD, the ability to perform and evaluate an eclectic physical examination and the ability to carry out appropriate physical treatment. In addition, the manual therapist must have a sound appreciation of dental management of TMD and be able to fit effectively into a multi-disciplinary dental treatment team.
The purpose of this course is to provide manual therapists with the appropriate knowledge and skills to carry out an effective, precise TMJ evaluation and treatment plan.
Specifically, participants will learn relevant orofacial and TMJ anatomy, biomechanics and neurophysiology; to identify specific TMJ movement disorders, to prescribe specific muscle retraining exercises, and to perform appropriate soft tissue techniques.
In particular, new TMJ mobilisation with movement techniques developed by the presenter will be taught. These techniques are used to provide a sound clinical reasoning for examination and treatment of TMJ disorders, and conform to Mulligan concept principles rendering them gentle and safe.
