Treating TMJ Like Any Other Joint: Rehab After Total TMJ Replacement

Most physical therapists will treat TMJ pain. Almost none will ever encounter a full bilateral TMJ replacement—paired with mandibular advancement and upper palate expansion. When that rare case appeared, there was no rehab playbook… so this clinician built one. What listeners will learn: • How TMJ replacement compares (and doesn’t) to hip and knee replacements • Why outcomes research exists—but rehab pathways don’t • How to apply total joint principles to a jaw joint • What to do when surgical restrictions limit “normal” movement • The role of nutrition, SLPs, and interdisciplinary care • How lived experience changes clinical decision-making Why it matters: This episode isn’t really about TMJ—it’s about how clinicians think when evidence is thin and responsibility is high. Guest: Katie Berry — sports & orthopedic clinician, adjunct professor, and OMPT fellow-in-training.
