PASC 5 ® – Cranial Considerations. TMJ – ‘Practical implications’.

Description of the course

The TMJ – “Practical Implications” course draws upon the knowledge gained in the "Module 4 course" to further explore the effects on the body of a dysfunctional TMJ. Also, "Applied Kinesiology" techniques to allow more specificity in the locating of "Optimal Functional Position" as described in the "Module 4" course.

Assessment techniques are covered which graphically illustrate the effects on the body relating to pelvis, knees and ankle, cranial, and locally in and around the TMJ.

A unique "Atlas", "Sphenoid" and "Temporal" correction is included to effectively treat the more resistant TMJ issues.

Course rationale

Time efficient, more effective treatment assessment and correction techniques for troubleshooting TMJ issues. Correction techniques that allow for Atlas, Sphenoid and Temporal bones treatment, where standard TMJ corrections are not effective.

The "Module 5" course content will allow the astute practitioner to build upon the knowledge gained in the "Module 4" course. The effects of TMD are global to the body and as such can affect every part of the body. Movement, gait, and posture etc. along with many other local conditions such as headaches, migraines, vision impairment, vertigo, etc.

The Structural therapist must be aware of the potential presenting dysfunctions and have assessment tools to isolate the cause. Assessments tools covered in this course provide the therapist with the necessary skills and correction techniques to bring about balance in the TMJ and body.

Prerequisites

Open to all practitioners who are qualified health practitioners having taken the            PASC Module 4.
