“Being able to mentally make a few more connections between “how to” and “where” has definitely given me the clarity needed to implement the gentle approach I was looking for. While I have been treating TMJ conditions for a number of years, knowing the facial muscles’ sensitivity, I have been uncomfortable with the old-school “pain for gain” approach, and being able to take this technique whole body is just magic, both for my clients and for the future of my hands.”

“Wow! I just finished the entire online course, and it was incredible. It was a HUGE amount of information, so it was nice to have to different modules because I could pause and absorb the info when I needed to, or go back and re-watch a few of the sections. For me personally, this course was a huge validation of things that I have been seeing/doing/teaching for the past few years…
This is hands-down the best course that I have seen EVER on the connection between fascia, TMJ, cervical spine, tongue posture etc.”
Angie Lehman
Registered Dental Hygienist & Certified Orofacial Myologist
“I started the course! I am not far but far enough to know it rocks. The way it is presented is so clear. I have done other online courses and been extremely frustrated, bored or annoyed. Tim and Sarah are professional. So grateful!”
Jennifer

“This course is amazing! I’m on Module Three and
it is definitely “driving me to the books and making me love neuroscience”.
I’m loving this course!
Thank you so much!”

“The muscular release by gentler manipulation and the good collection in one place of those sources of referred pain. The speed of being able to bring about a change in range of movement were all eye opening.
Could not recommend the course highly enough. From a CPD Junkie like me and perpetual student and teacher, I would say this course has few equals in being able to apply principles immediately at work.”
Dr Bob Gibbons
Dentist
“Just got to say what a gamechanger your course has been that I attended a couple of years back. I use the simple FNFT protocol you taught on a regular basis for my patients and they love it! So quick and easy to do and the more you do it, the better proprioception you get for it. Had a patient tell me on Saturday she no longer takes gabapentin medication when she feels a migraine coming on since I showed her this technique. Just saw a patient now almost cry with relief after releasing the tension in her lat pterygoid. So thank you!!
It feels good to be able to offer relief so easily and makes for grateful loyal patients.”

“I have found the application of the information well worth the time and money. Helping so many patients in my chair who experience jaw pain, especially during an appointment when they have to hold their mouth open. Just wanted to share a couple recent example…A few days ago, I was able to help someone who recently had dental work done, but had come back into the clinic to complain of limited opening and deep achy pain in her facial/TMJ muscles. After spending a few minutes (with the information learned in the course), she left with the pain going from a 9/10 to 2/10 and her opening significantly improved.”

“I absolutely learned a lot more about the facial muscles than I ever did, even in the four years of dental school.”

“…I had the pleasure of spending a whole day with Timothy and Sarah in Cary, North Carolina. I immediately went back to work and used what I learned on Thursday on five patients and all my TMJ clinical team. What a powerful effect did the 4-5 min I spent working on each patient had on them! One patients range of motion improved from 31 to 36mm (20% more opening) just from targeting the right muscles of mastication. Thank you for you knowledge and skills….”

The multidisciplinary TMD course trusted by forward-thinking clinicians worldwide
Fast & Functional TMD & Orofacial Pain (FNFT) A practical, interdisciplinary system for real-world clinicians.
Designed for dentists, OHTs, myofunctional therapists and allied health
No specialist training required
Immediate clinical application
If you’re honest, TMD patients can feel frustrating.
- You’re not 100% sure what you’re dealing with
- You don’t want to make it worse
- You rely on splints, referrals or “wait and see”
- You feel like you should know more… but no one taught you properly
And yet these patients keep showing up…
The problem isn’t you.
It’s that most training is:
- too theoretical
- too specialist-focused
- or too narrow (dentistry only, physio only, airway only)
What’s missing is a clear, practical system you can actually use in everyday practice.
That’s exactly what FNFT gives you.
After this course, you will be able to:
- Confidently assess TMD and orofacial pain patients without guessing
- Understand the difference between muscle, joint and referral pain
- Apply simple, safe techniques to reduce pain
- Know exactly when to treat and when to refer
- Communicate clearly with patients and other providers
- Stay completely within your professional scope
This is not about becoming a specialist.
This is about becoming competent, confident and effective.

Why this over ANY other TMD course?
Traditional courses teach you about TMD FNFT teaches you how to treat it — immediately and effectively
Functional, movement-based, musculoskeletal model aligned with latest research
Historically TMD training emphasises a technical, mechanical theory of pain drivers rather than a more up to date functional, musculoskeletal theory.
Assessment Method
Fast, efficient, chairside assessment protocols
Highly technical with an emphasis on empirical measurements and occlusion rather than functional clinical pain relief.
High emphasis on practical, hands-on techniques
Often theory-heavy with limited practical application
Fully multidisciplinary: integrates dental + OMT + manual therapy
Siloed (dentistry-only or physio-only perspectives)
Built for real-world time constraints in clinic
Not optimised for busy practitioners
Clinical Accessible, streamlined, flexible (online + practical integration)
Often in-person only, expensive, time-intensive
Traditional courses teach you about TMD FNFT teaches you how to treat it — immediately and effectively
Over $3,000 worth of clinical training — available for $795
Most clinicians either:
- spend years trying to piece this together
- or invest thousands into advanced training
FNFT gives you a clear, practical system you can start using immediately.
Investment: $795 USD
Lifetime access.
