Week one of the Massage for TMJ Therapy®️ Level One Live Online June 2025 course and last night we took a deep dive into TMJ Dysfunction, the causes, symptoms and how we approach this debilitating syndrome with a full body approach to treatment. Because here’s the thing. It’s NOT all in your head!

We explored the Fascial connections between the jaw, the pelvis and the whole body. These links are essential to understanding how TMJD affects the whole body and could be the crucial difference between success and poor outcomes of treatment for your client.

We discussed posture, and the role this plays in the development and maintenance of TMJD, and not only for clients.
How your posture as a therapist when working can be vital to you avoiding injury and issues of your own:

We looked at how the TMJ Therapy®️blended protocol is like no other, based on my over 45 years experience of working with TMJD both as dental professional and degree level clinical massage specialist.

If this sort of multi disciplinary approach to a resolution for TMJD sufferers across the globe sounds like just what you are looking for the next course starts in October.
