The stomatognathic system’s role in postural and physical rehabilitation
Silverio Di Rocca
M.P.R International School, Switzerland
W
hen dealing with chronic pain, the holistic approach in diagnosis and treatment is very important. We live in a time where
super-specialization in medicine, leads professionals to be blind and unprepared in front of patients with problems that
spread beyond their sectorized specialty. We seem to have forgotten that the human body is not made up of small sectors, but
is one, indivisible whole. In the specific case of postural and physical rehabilitation, specialists are too often confronted with
treatments that should work but somehow do not have lasting results, due to interferences from other parts of the body. In
particular the stomatognathic system is a great disturber when a balanced mandibular position is lost. With the jaw being part
of the muscle chains, through the hyoid system that connects it with the rest of the body, it is extremely important to have an
understanding of this complex relation to obtain balanced and functional results, that are in harmony throughout the whole
body.
