A hybrid workshop for RMTs/Manual Therapists, consisting of a 5.5hr home-study webinar, followed by a 2-day live Practicum. It explores intra-oral techniques treating TMJ Dysfunction.

Fee includes access to home-study webinar* AND the 2-day Practicum [*webinar completion is a prerequisite for attending practicum].

You Need to Know...

  • First thing ~ BEFORE registering, know your LOCATION/DATE for the 2-day Practicum you plan to attend. (course schedule below)

  • Then ~ register for the course giving you access to the academic-webinar. You'll need 3 or 4 two-hour sessions to complete it. Plan to start a few WEEKS before the Practicum!

  • For clarity ~ this academic-webinar is the home-study section of the workshop, comprised of 6 modules (5.5 hours total) covering graduate-levels of anatomy, physiology, pathology and technique-theory. Included is a comprehensive study of the stages of Anterior Displaced Articular Disc - be prepared to be in "play mode" and colour like we're in Grade 2 - there's even recess!

  • IMPORTANT ~ The home-study webinar MUST BE completed before you are eligible to attend the 2-day Practicum.

What sets TMJ Mastery apart:

  • A unique interactive visual study of the progression of the Articular Disc Displacements based upon the lifelong research of Dental Prof. Dr. Jeffrey Okeson of the U. of Kentucky.

    Utilizing illustrations (with permission) from Dr. Okeson's textbook, we focus on a frame-by-frame comprehensive study of the 4 stages of Anteriorly Displaced Discs, bringing this understanding to our treatment planning, client by client. Can restorative measures be expected, or are we reducing further progression? What are the simple-truths that are often concealed within this complex joint and its dysfunction? How does our client measure success? And most importantly, what do we do with our hands when TMJD shows up?

  • A "Summary-Demo Video" to review in the future.

    Answering the question, "How does one bring everything together and end a workshop weekend?", evolved over the history of TMJ Mastery. What works, in my experience (just when brain-dead participants cannot do or receive any more), is to video a "Summary Demo" at the end of Day 2. Depicting a real case, the video records the aloud-thought-process of all the techniques, assessment, communication tips and nuances of a real treatment. That Summary-Demo Video is available to participants when, a month or a year later, you might be wondering "How did he DO that maneuver again?". Brilliant!

  • Authentic confidence gives you licence to "play" with new tools, and is detected by your clients!

    After TMJ Mastery - you will have authentic confidence to return to work and "play" with new skills and ideas! You'll measure your confidence (1-10) at the beginning of the academic-webinar and again in the evaluation at the end of the 2-Day Practicum. Cultivating knowledge, effective hands-on skills and succinct and ingenious communication approaches, you will be ready to return to clinic and "play" with the new techniques and assessments. You will apply "tools" applicable to each unique client-story ~ and effective results will show up. Clients will talk, and their family, workmates and friends will seek you ~ (and possibly their Dentist too!).

  • Instructor experience and passion.

    Seeking a mentor's training in 1992 (and '94,'95), TMJ Dysfunction has been John's most fascinating and captivating career-topic. See Bio for details.

What participants have said about TMJ Mastery.

“This is the first time I have used your education in clinic and I knocked it out of the park! Your class was so hands on. Which is amazing. This is the most confident I have ever felt doing TMJ work!”

Andrea H. ~ Halifax, NS Spring 2025

“I loved it! Definitely the best course I have done in my 19yrs as a RMT. Great (and humorous) instruction. Would consider doing it again in the future.”

Jennifer C. ~ Calgary, 2016

“Filled 3 whole days talking about a small area with the time management skills, precision and delivery of a Ninja… then gave us assessment forms, brochures and referral forms. I love you Dude.”

Derek H. ~ Fredericton, NB 2018

“Great course. After being a Dental Assistant for 9 years John explained the TMJ in a way no one ever did in that industry or the massage world. I leave with a much better understanding.”

Nicole N. ~ London, ON 2016

“As a person with a Learning Disability every aspect was well presented and completely understandable.Honestly, the best workshop I’ve taken where I can go back to my clinic and feel completely confident in what I’ve learned.”

Candice C. Winnipeg, 2018

“You offer a great course and I recommend all my staff take it when you’re back in town.”

Suzanne M. ~ Bedford/Halifax:Coastal Sport & Wellness. Halifax 2024

Who is John Corry, RMT?

Nova Scotia ~ Canada

Since 1992, the topic of TMJ Dysfunction has been a driving focus in my career. I am a full-time RMT in a clinic setting DOING the work. The side-hustle TMJ Mastery represents my passion for "passing it on"; collaboration and effective outcomes light me up! Word of mouth has fuelled a capacity schedule for 30+ years. Dentists, PTs, DCs and MDs have patients that tell them about my work - and they refer more patients. For over 15 years two SLP's, focused on spoken-voice and singing, have had a rewarding referral relationship with me. This opened a further niche supporting university vocal-music students and Profs (and a few grad-performers) of opera, as well as Shakespearean stage actors. Further study in laryngeal positioning and tongue tension resulted. The SLP connections led to referrals from ENTs at a hospital's Vocal-Function Clinic. Now living in Nova Scotia, when not in clinic, I can be found hiking with my wife - Kathy, mountain biking on trails, shooting B/W photography and being silly with grandchildren.
