Course Description

This advanced lecture and lab course is structured so that clinicians will gain an appreciation for the relationship between cervicobrachial, cervicocranial and craniomandibular dysfunction and disorders. The focus of this course will be to evaluate, treat and manage joint compression and instability dysfunction as it relates to the upper quarter asymmetry. Information will be presented that anatomically addresses and supports sequential treatment approaches that are introduced in the clinic and oriented for carryover by the patient. Participants will be able to immediately apply PRI clinical assessment and management skills when treating diagnosis such as “TMJ”, headaches and facial pain.

* - Prior attendance of Postural Respiration is required.
Educational Level: Advanced

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize and evaluate contributing influences of cervicobrachial, craniocervical and craniomandibular compression disorders.
  • Distinguish cranial versus mandibular adaptation patterns of TMD.
  • Design a strengthening and stabilization program for cervical, brachial and craniomandibular instabilities.
  • Identify appropriate management sequence of TMD and cervical dysfunction.
