Continuing Education Home Study Course For Massage Therapists
12 hours of Continuing Education Credit

It is estimated that over 30 million people in the US suffer from TMJ pain. That means there is a huge source of potential new clients and new opportunities for you in your community. But it can be one of the most frustrating conditions to work with—unless you know the techniques revealed in this course.

Based on Scientific Research
The latest scientific research is clear—stress reduction and massage work! Lee Overholser, Ph.D., began with that research and developed a massage to relieve and even eliminate TMJ pain caused by muscle tension. Then he added relaxation and stress relief sessions to keep the muscle tension and pain from coming back.

Dentists use splints to separate the teeth during sleep and relieve pressure on the joint. Splints produce improvement for most people, but usually don’t eliminate the problem completely. Chiropractors use adjustments of the neck and jaw and usually get temporary results. Some therapists even massage inside the mouth, which is a very uncomfortable procedure. But this, too, only gives temporary results. Dr. Overholser’s techniques do not involve massaging inside the mouth!

Lee spoke with a chiropractor who used to specialize in TMJ therapy combining adjustments with muscle massage. He got very good temporary results, but he stopped working with TMJ patients because, “Almost all of my patients developed TMJ problems again due to stress.” With this home study course you will learn how to use massage and stress-reduction to get lasting results and banish the damaging effects of stress.

Effective
The key is the combination of massage and stress-reduction. This course will introduce you to the latest information on the causes of TMJ pain. In 90% of the cases the pain is caused by muscle tension. You will learn effective techniques for massaging all the muscles involved—without having to work inside the mouth. You will also learn how to use relaxation sessions to relieve the muscle tension and stress that either caused the problem to begin with or keep it going.

Anita G. is a secretary who had severe pain from TMJ. After just three massage treatments from one of Lee Overholser’s students her pain went from an eight on a scale of ten to just three. The relaxation and stress CD was especially helpful to her because she was in the middle of planning her wedding. It's truly amazing that she could say, "I was able to get ready for my wedding without grinding my teeth at night and the constant pain is now completely gone."
