The Bite Course (TMJ Management) is a comprehensive clinical course designed to provide physiotherapists with an in depth understanding of temporomandibular joint disorders and their multidisciplinary management. The course integrates anatomical foundations, biomechanics, clinical assessment, and evidence based treatment strategies for orofacial pain and TMJ dysfunction.
The program covers detailed anatomy of the temporomandibular joint, articular disc, masticatory muscles, and their relationship with the cervical spine and posture. Participants will learn the underlying mechanisms of TMJ disorders, including disc displacement, muscle dysfunction, hypermobility, bruxism, and central sensitization.
A strong emphasis is placed on clinical reasoning and hands on assessment skills, including history taking, observation, palpation, range of motion measurement, and differential diagnosis. The course also addresses conservative and advanced treatment approaches such as manual therapy, soft tissue techniques, electrotherapy, therapeutic exercises, and patient education.
By combining theoretical knowledge with practical clinical insights and case studies, this course aims to enhance participants’ ability to accurately assess, manage, and rehabilitate patients with temporomandibular disorders in clinical practice.
