Refer a Patient

Our therapists specialize in head and neck problems, but are all trained in the treatment of orthopedic pain and injuries including back pain, repetitive strain injuries, hypermobility and fibromyalgia. 

Collaborative Care for Complex Cases

At the Hobson Institute, we specialize in the “missing link” of patient care: the functional relationship between the head, neck, and airway. We act as a clinical partner to your practice, providing evidence-based cranio-facial physical therapy that supports your dental, orthodontic, or surgical outcomes.

Our clinicians spend a full 40 minutes of one-on-one time with every patient. This allows us to focus on the root causes of dysfunction, using evidence-based protocols in Craniofacial Therapy (CFC), Buteyko Breathing Method, Postural Restoration (PRI), and UPlocker Airway stabilization and Myofunctional Therapy. We are here to support your treatment plan for patients dealing with:

  • TMD and Jaw Pain: Addressing disc displacements and muscular imbalances.
  • Sleep Disordered Breathing: Supporting airway expansion and nasal breathing.
  • Tinnitus: Managing symptoms linked to cervical spine and jaw tension.

Pre- and Post-Surgical Rehab: Optimizing outcomes for orthognathic and craniofacial procedures.
