By combining Jaw Rehab (TMJ & myofunctional therapy) with Pelvic-Abdominal therapy, she believes there is a more holistic relief her patient's experience. Dysfunctions often occur in both areas of the body, even if the symptoms are silent. There are unique
yet exquisitely powerful connections.

Schedule a PT assessment of your neck & spine before getting your teeth or bite aligned.
Visceral manipulation is a gentle yet very specific technique of releasing each organ ensuring optimal mobility. Organs must glide, expand and contract to manage the movement of everyday functions. Infections, trauma, and inflammation can cause organs to stick to each other limiting GI or reproductive systems.
Heather Jean uses physiological anchors, a research-based mindfulness practice, along with ancient practices to guide relaxation.
CranioSacral is mechanically adjusting the cranium, sacrum, and spine to reduce tension and improve the rhythm of the cerebral spinal fluid.
CranioSacral is indicated for: headaches, anxiety, jaw issues, PTSD, whiplash, chronic pain, concussions, and chronic fatigue.
Release, Balance & Stabilize your Jaw.
No clicking, no popping, no locking, no pain, no headaches, no clenching and no grinding!!
Ensure proper neck and cranium alignment when getting orthodontia or mouth guard.

With efficient and progressive orthopedic assessment tools, dysfunctional movement-patterns are identified.
I then use various manual therapies, neuromuscular re-education, and therapeutic exercises to treat dysfunctional movement patterns.
My specialties in the Pelvic Floor, TMJ/jaw and CranioSacral help provide a holistic foundation for all joints.
When moving the teeth to have optimal occulsion during orthodontia care, consider assessing and treating the rest of the body to give the jaw and teeth an optimal foundation. The jaw is influenced by the cranial suture joints and the spinal skeletal system. Thus it is wise to get the rest of the body symmetrical, in alignment and mobility, while getting your bite and teeth aligned.
