Where is the TMJ tender point found?
According to PP: TMJ opposite to Mandibular deviation, Mohammad TMJ can be found Anterior to Tragus of the Ear
TMJ
Medial Pterigoid Pt. Mandible is pulled away from the TP (Mohommad: follow body till Angle go anterior to that hook fingers around
Massester Pull/shift Mandible towards the TP
TMJ Rotate (the whole head) Away
AC1 Mandible:
