3 Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Therapy The TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) is the joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull in front of the ear. Problems with this joint can cause head and neck pain, facial or ear pain. Since the TMJ guides jaw movement, it can also afect the opening and closing of a person s jaw when eating and talking. Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder afects 50 to 75 percent of the general population, normally due to soft tissue damage to the jaw muscles and internal dislocation of the joint itself. While the causes of TMJ disorder are poorly understood, it has been associated with poor oral habits and stress. Patients who beneft from physical therapy for TMJ disorder may have: Bad posture Misaligned jaws Sufered a fracture or underwent surgery involving their face or head Lockjaw May clench their jaws at night Some symptoms of TMJ include difculty opening and/or closing the mouth; clenching or grinding teeth at night; mouth or jaw pain when eating or talking; jaw pop when opening or closing the mouth. Patients will need a prescription from their primary care physician, a dentist, an oral surgeon, or any other physician who provides care for the head and neck area. (For patients with Medicare coverage, prescriptions may be written only by a primary care physician or orthopedist.) After scheduling an appointment for an initial evaluation, the patient will spend 60 minutes with our skilled therapist. A complete assessment of the patient s head and neck will take place. The therapist will conduct a series of tests for postural assessment and range of motion and strength. At this evaluation, the therapist will discuss the patient s past medical history and symptoms. After the evaluation is completed, the following treatment sessions will range from 45 to 60 minutes with the therapist and will address the limitations found during the evaluation. sessions can include: manual techniques, exercises, electric stimulation or ultrasound, and patient education.

6 Lymphedema Therapy Lymphedema is an abnormal accumulation of lymphatic fuid that causes swelling, most often in the arm(s) or leg(s) and occasionally in other parts of the body. There are two types of lymphedema: primary and secondary. Some individuals develop lymphedema after an injury, infection, or surgery involving lymph nodes, typically from breast or head and neck cancer. For others there may be no known cause. Primary lymphedema can develop at birth, adolescence, or even in middle age, and is caused by abnormalities in the lymphatic system. When the lymph system which carries lymph fuids, nutrients and waste material between the body tissues and the blood stream is interrupted, it can result in symptoms that are both painful and disfguring. Lymphedema therapy can reduce or alleviate symptoms such as: A full sensation or swelling in one or more limbs Tightness of skin Decreased fexibility in the hand, wrist or ankle Difculty ftting into clothes in a specifc area Ring, watch, or sock bands become tighter than normal Patients must be medically cleared for Lymphedema is not edema, which results from venous insufciency. lymphedema therapy by their physicians.

7 Pelvic Floor Therapy The pelvic foor is made up of muscles and other tissues that form a sling or hammock from the pubic bone to the tailbone. They assist in supporting the abdominal and pelvic organs, help control the bowel/bladder, and stabilize the lower back and hips. Pelvic foor dysfunction refers to a wide range of problems that occur when the muscles of the pelvic foor are weak, tight or there is impairment at one of the surrounding joints. Pelvic foor physical therapy can restore the function of the pelvic foor muscles to assist in decreasing symptoms. Patients in need of pelvic floor therapy typically experience: Trouble completely emptying their urine, stool or both Feeling constipated and strain very hard to produce a bowel movement A constant urge to urinate, leak urine, or urinate greater than one bathroom trip for every two hours awake Pain in the rectum, perineum, abdomen, tailbone, or other areas of the pelvis Episodes of fecal incontinence or urgency for bowel movements Prenatal pain Post partum issues Issues of male post prostatectomy Male pelvic pain Initial It is essential to get a proper diagnosis from a healthcare practitioner that specializes in pelvic foor dysfunction/pelvic pain. Patients need a script from their physician before getting started with pelvic foor physical therapy. Once an appointment for the initial evaluation has been made, patients will be asked to arrive 20 minutes early to fll out important patient information and to be registered. The therapist will discuss past medical history with the patient during a 60 minute evaluation. The patient s concerns and questions will be discussed, followed by a review of the pelvic foor anatomy so that they may better understand the connection with the bowel and bladder function. Standard tests of movement, fexibility, and strength will be evaluated as appropriate to the patient s condition. In order to assess the health of the pelvic foor muscles, an internal pelvic muscle evaluation may be necessary. This requires the therapist to use a gloved fnger inside the rectal or vaginal canal to determine tenderness, reproduction of symptoms, strength, endurance, and coordination of the muscles. This part of the exam is only completed with the consent of the patient and may be deferred or refused. Multiple external treatments and home program concepts may be provided for efective relief from symptoms. The physical therapist will devise a plan of care and discuss all details with the patient, and include the patient in creating goals to work toward optimum progress. sessions last between 45 to 50 minutes and can include but are not limited to: Individualized core stability program Biofeedback to uptrain/downtrain/coordination training Stretching program for hips and legs Electrical stimulation Myofascial and trigger point release Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation Visceral mobilization/manipulation Hot/cold therapy External and internal soft tissue mobilization Behavior modifcation and training For more information or to schedule an appointment, call
