Intraoral work for LMPs is now legal in Washington State and this class prepares you not only to receive the state's required endorsement, but also to offer your clients excellent work.

In this class, we will:

• review anatomy and kinesiology of the face, anterior neck, cranial base and TMJ
• learn fundamental myofascial techniques to balance the jaw (bite and chewing) and the anterior neck (hyoid sling and upper cervicals)
• increase your skills for addressing TMJ disorder, headaches, whiplash, and other musculo-skeletal problems
• understand the consideration needed for the psychological and emotional loading of the face and mouth
• learn specialized intake, charting, hygiene and client management skills that are necessary when working in such a vulnerable area

There is a student clinic on the second day, where volunteer models are brought in to participate. Students are encouraged to coordinate their own model when possible. (Details will be provided shortly after registration via email.)

What to Bring: Set of sheets; pillow or bolster; wear loose clothing; anatomy atlas (Clemente, Netter, Theime, for example).
