Head, Neck and Jaw Master Class

Do you have clients that have plateaued out and still have neck pain, headaches, head forward posture, jaw pain and clenching/grinding?
This course will help you get over your fear of “working in the dark” with precise palpatory and treatment guidelines to keep your client safe and for you to provide the most sensitive and effective care for TMJ issues as well as stubborn cases of whiplash, head forward posture and headaches.
