From mat leave to mentorship mode. 🤱💪
Welcome back, Amanda Raguseo, our Pickering Clinic Manager! She’s diving right in—leading an in-house training on TMJD physiotherapy management.
At Propel, we know that great clinical care starts with continuous learning. That’s why our senior clinicians (like Amanda) make time to pass on their expertise, while newer clinicians actively soak up every technique, cue, and clinical pearl.
What that looked like in this training:
📸 Amanda breaking down the TMJ’s dual “hinge and slide” mechanics
▪️ Hands-on practice for manual therapy & muscle energy techniques
▪️ Team discussion on how poor posture (forward head position) drives jaw pain
▪️ Clinicians practicing assessment of clicking, locking, and deviation
Why mentorship matters for YOUR care:
When experienced clinicians teach and newer clinicians learn, it doesn’t just build skills—it directly improves the service you receive. You get a team that treats the whole person:
✔️ Jaw pain + neck tension – treated together
✔️ Evidence-based manual therapy + exercise
✔️ Education to stop clenching/grinding habits
✔️ Postural retraining to prevent relapse
TMJD isn’t just “jaw pain.” As our blog explains, it can cause headaches, ear fullness, facial tightness, and even neck/shoulder stiffness. Physiotherapy works—by restoring mobility, reducing muscle overactivity, and retraining movement patterns. Link in bio to read full blog
Welcome back, Amanda. And thank you to every clinician who teaches—and every clinician who learns. That’s how we propel our clients forward.
