Hugo’s approach includes advice and education, soft tissue release, joint mobilisation, neck and postural function, acupuncture, muscle stretching and strengthening. When needed he will also give you advice on tailored mouth- guards that could be a great complement of the treatment.

Hugo knows how important it is to have a holistic approach to TMD/OFP as this is often caused by overloaded muscles of mastication, namely bruxism or parafunction, that has typically a strong correlation with stress and anxiety. He understands that some people will need a second opinion about their condition and he has a network of healthcare professionals that have specialised in this condition, such as MaxFax consultant, Dentist and CBT counsellors.
