Nader Maroufi is specialized in TMJ/TMD rehabilitation and is currently offering this service in Canada as a Kinesiologist. Graduated in Physiotherapy (1989) and continued his post-graduate Master of Physiotherapy program (1992), he took his passion in both clinical practice and academic teaching in the field of musculoskeletal rehabilitation (spine, extremities, and temporomandibular injuries). In 2005, he completed his PhD program in Physiotherapy with his specific focus on the control of posture and movement. Nader has worked very hard for over 25 years, bridging practice to research, and implementing the best practice into TMJ and spinal rehabilitation. He is also lecturing TMD topics to large groups of Dentists in study clubs, seminars, and Dental events/ conferences. Nader strongly believes in team approach toward patient care and has been very successful in collaborating with a large number of Dentists and specialists in GVA since 2019, making their job easier in helping TMD sufferers. Considering his strong background in manual therapy, biomechanics, and motor control, he has a holistic approach in his TMJ assessment and treatment, addressing all possible factors that might contribute to acute or chronic TMJ signs and symptoms, and the associated neck pain, ear symptoms and headaches. Based on the referring Dentist/ Doctor diagnosis and the client’s history, he plans for a comprehensive assessment of TMJ-neck-shoulder mobility, stability, and function. He looks for the contribution of such factors as poor posture, respiratory pattern abnormalities, parafunctional habits, trauma, and stress to the TMD client’s clinical condition (bruxism, disc-condyle derangement, jaw restrictions, TMJ arthritis, tinnitus, OSA, etc.). He takes advantage of his hands-on skills (soft tissue releases and joint mobilisation), tailored exercises (correction of faulty posture, movement abnormalities, and respiratory dysfunctions) , and modalities such as laser and ultrasound in managing the client’s symptoms, and restoring mobility, stability and functioning to the injured masticatory system. Nader enjoys spending time with his family and friends, hiking, biking, and exercising in the gym.
