Course Description

MFRIII: TMJ, Deep Cervical and Upper Extremities
Myofascial Release: Upper Extremities, TMJ and Deep Cervical Myofasciae

This class enables participants to respond to a broad range of restrictions in the soft tissues of the cervical spine, TMJ & upper extremities. Particular emphasis is given to the neurofascial syndrome known as "double crush" and the peripheral neuropathies associated with it, such as carpal tunnel. Attention is also given to the intra oral soft tissues as a way of normalizing TMJ function. This can result in a reduction or elimination of bruxism, some headaches, cervical stiffness, and tinnitus. The class focuses on learning via extensive student exchange.
