Course description
Jaw, bite and neck issues are closely linked and can significantly affect our overall health and wellbeing. If the jaw is clenched hard or there are malfunctions in the bite function, it can have negative consequences for the whole body.
In our course, you will learn how to treat these challenges, identify associated symptoms and apply Auriculotherapeutic (ear acupuncture) and Posturological techniques for treatment.
Jaw tension and neck problems often occur during periods of emotional turmoil, such as stress, grief, anxiety or anger. We naturally react by clenching our jaw to deal with these emotions, whether we're awake or asleep.

-
Understanding the impact of the jaw on our hormonal system, central nervous system, vision and concentration, inner ear, the cooperation between the cerebral hemispheres (laterality) and foot posture and its connection to pain issues throughout the body.
