Initial Assessment and Functional Screening

⚡What this means in practice ?

Patients with:
- TMJ pain
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Pelvic floor tightness
- Dyspareunia
- Low back pain
..often benefit from assessing both regions.

- Treating the jaw can reduce pelvic floor tone.
- Treating the pelvic floor can reduce jaw tension.
- A whole-body approach always wins.

⚡Clinical takeaway

- The jaw and pelvic floor are not separate issues-they are part of the same system.
- Understanding this connection can transform assessment and treatment outcomes.

💥The Powerful Connection Between the Jaw (TMJ) and the Pelvic Floor

As physiotherapists, we often treat the body region by region-but the human body doesn't work that way. Two areas that seem completely unrelated actually share a strong relationship: the jaw (TMJ) and the pelvic floor.

⚡How Are the Jaw and Pelvic Floor Connected?

1. Fascial & muscular chains
- The jaw and pelvic floor share a continuous fascial line that runs through the tongue, diaphragm, deep core, and pelvic floor.
- Tension in one area often shows up in the other.

2. Nervous system link
- Both the TMJ and pelvic floor respond to stress.
- When we clench our jaw, we often hold tension in the pelvic floor as well.

3. Breathing mechanics
- Functional breathing keeps both the jaw and pelvic floor relaxed.
- Shallow or chest breathing increases:
- Jaw clenching
- Pelvic floor overactivity
- Neck & lower back tension

4. Posture
- Forward head posture + pelvic tilt can influence each other through the spine, affecting both.

Not many people realise how much

*Posture impacts the body and mind.* The way you hold yourself for 90-99% of the day has a powerful effect on your hormones and mood.

- Hunching over can lower testosterone and raise cortisol

- While standing tall with your spine straight and shoulders back helps increase testosterone and reduce cortisol.

- You'll also notice that when you're upright, your breathing becomes deeper and easier, supporting relaxation and reducing stress.

- Slouching restricts breathing, leading to shallow breaths, lower oxygen levels, and negative effects on both energy and mood.

💪 PHYSIOTHERAPY MANAGEMENT OF CALCIFIC TENDINITIS

1. Acute / Painful Stage

- Rest & Activity Modification (avoid overhead movement)
- Ice therapy – 10–15 mins, 3–4×/day

Pain Relief:
- Ultrasound therapy (pulsed mode)
- TENS for pain modulation
- Gentle pendular exercises to prevent stiffness

2. Subacute / Recovery Stage

- Hot pack or contrast therapy to increase circulation
- Ultrasound (continuous mode) to promote resorption of calcium

Range of Motion (ROM) Exercises:
- Passive → Active-assisted → Active
- Soft tissue mobilization and joint mobilization (Grade I–II)

Scapular stabilization and rotator cuff strengthening:

- Isometric → Isotonic → Resistance band

3. Chronic Stage

- Strengthening & stretching: rotator cuff, deltoid, and scapular muscles
- Postural correction (especially scapular retraction)
- Ergonomic advice for work/sport
- Home exercise program

🏥 Additional / Medical Management (if severe)

- NSAIDs for pain/inflammation
- Corticosteroid injection
- Ultrasound-guided needle lavage (barbotage)
- Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT)
- Surgical removal (rare)

💥SHOULDER PATHOLOGY

⚡CALCIFIC TENDINITIS

- Definition

- Physiotherapy management

📘 Definition
Calcific tendinitis is a painful inflammatory condition caused by calcium crystal deposits (usually calcium hydroxyapatite) within a tendon — most commonly in the rotator cuff tendons, particularly the supraspinatus.

⚠️ Common Sites
- Supraspinatus tendon (most common)
- Infraspinatus
- Subscapularis
- Occasionally in gluteal or Achilles tendons

🧠 Pathophysiology
Calcific tendinitis develops in three main stages:

1. Formative Phase:
- Calcium crystals start to deposit in the tendon.
- Often asymptomatic.

2. Resting Phase:
- Calcium deposits remain stable.
- May still be painless.

3. Resorptive Phase:
- The body attempts to reabsorb the calcium.
- Causes severe pain and inflammation due to pressure buildup in the tendon and surrounding tissue.

🔍 Causes / Risk Factors
- Degenerative changes in tendon (aging)
- Repetitive microtrauma or overuse (e.g., overhead activities)
- Poor blood supply to the tendon
- Endocrine disorders (e.g., diabetes, thyroid disease)
- Genetic predisposition

⚡ Symptoms
- Sudden or gradual shoulder pain, often severe
- Pain aggravated by overhead or lifting activities
- Night pain (especially lying on affected side)
- Restricted shoulder movement
- Tenderness over affected tendon
- Sometimes swelling or warmth
