Learning Objective:
Learn the relationship between posture, pelvis, cranial and the cervical spine as they relate to the mandible, TMJ & airway.
Learn the benefits of orthopedic correction (obtaining a stable foundation) - especially in case of pelvic/sacral mal-alignment or misaligned jaw - prior to dental, sleep, TMj therapy, body work or other interventions.
Learn the importance of addressing common cranial strain patterns (as they relate to posture and breathing) before treating patients.
Learn how our body self regulates (via pure reflex responses) using the 3 biomechanical complexes of the body (1. cranial-cervical-mandibular, 2. Thoracic-abdominal, 3. pelvic-lumbar-femoral) and how dysfunction in any 1 of the 3 will lead to compensatory adaptation and inflammation, requiring comprehensive intervention from dentists, chiropractors, physical therpists, osteopathic doctors and other specialists.
Learn how airway dentists, SOT chiropractors & physical therapists can work together in correct syntax to create greater homeostasis biomechanically (orthopedically), neurologically and biochemically for optimal breathing, respiration & wellness.
