CCEP 2 Advanced Principles of TMJ, Ribs and Shoulder Girdle

Course Synopsis

Diagnosis and treatment is made simple through understanding the biomechanical functions of each joint. Clinical findings are discussed and demonstrated in this intensive hands-on seminar. Many mysterious pains in the shoulder and thorax are discovered in class with procedures you can perform on your patients. Learn how taking a deep breath can be made easy. Explore techniques for anterior chest discomfort. Get rid of false angina pains. Learn why chronic cervical mechanical pain may be a result of T.M.J. or rib mechanical dysfunction.
