TMJ Physical Therapy for Jaw Pain, Clicking, and Headaches
Jaw pain that won’t go away. Clicking or popping when you chew. Headaches that start near your temples or ears. These can all be signs of a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problem, also called a temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
TMJ physical therapy offers a non-surgical, drug-free way to reduce pain, improve jaw movement, and help you get back to comfortable eating, talking, and smiling.
LSVT BIG Program for Parkinson’s
Leigh Hobson, DPT, Amy Cyphers, PTA, and Sherry Davis, PTA, are certified to provide LSVT BIG therapy for people with neurological illnesses.
This program is designed to meet the needs of individuals with Parkinson’s Disease by using large amplitude based exercise for re-education of the sensorimotor system. LSVT was developed in 1987 using larger movements to recalibrate the brain’s perception of movement size which reduces with Parkinson’s Disease. LSVT BIG is the only evidenced based treatment protocol for Parkinson’s patients.
- 16 one hour sessions, 4 days per week for 4 weeks with one on one instruction. Programs are tailored to each person’s specific needs. Homework to be completed daily.
- All exercises are modelled by the therapist with patient then completing with therapist correcting form.
- BIG walking is completed at each session in various settings to simulate community ambulation. Focus is on arm swing, increasing endurance and safety.
- Functional tasks are addressed at each session determined by the patient’s individual need.
As the brain begins to recalibrate the size of movement, the patient is better able to move with more “normal” movements. Once the program is completed, the patient is provided an ongoing home exercise program. With diligence, patients see an improvement in quality of movement.
Ongoing studies consistently show the positive effect of exercise on slowing the progression of Parkinson’s Disease.
BBPV Tune-ups for Vertigo
A physical therapy BBPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) tune-up typically involves a series of exercises and maneuvers designed to reposition small crystals in the inner ear that may have become dislodged and are causing vertigo symptoms.
This may include maneuvers such as the Epley maneuver or Brandt-Daroff exercises, aimed at moving the crystals out of the sensitive areas of the inner ear.
These exercises are tailored to the individual’s specific needs and are supervised by a physical therapist to ensure correct execution and effectiveness in alleviating vertigo symptoms.
