TMJD RMT Initial Assessment - 90min
Description
90-Minute TMJD Initial Assessment & Treatment: This comprehensive session is specifically designed for clients experiencing temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD), jaw pain, clicking, tension, headaches, or clenching/grinding. It includes a thorough health history, postural and functional assessment, and hands-on treatment tailored to your individual presentation. Treatment may include intraoral massage therapy, which is often optimal for addressing deep jaw structures, but is not always necessary. We will discuss and determine the best approach for your comfort and clinical needs. We will explore contributing factors such as: Jaw alignment and mobility Neck and shoulder tension Postural habits Stress-related muscular holding patterns Breathing patterns and sleep posture You’ll receive a customized treatment and a homecare plan that may include self-massage, hydrotherapy, or jaw relaxation techniques. The treatment pace remains intentional and unhurried, allowing space for the sensitive nature of TMJ-related conditions.

All information is handled in accordance with the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA, 2004) and CMTO Standards of Practice.
