Treatments
Experimental: Rocabado exercises group
The most commonly known form of exercise for Temporomandibular Disfunction is Rocabado exercises, which use 6 types of exercises 6 times a day.
Experimental: Servical Core Exercises Group
The purpose of core exercises is to support the vertebral column, especially by activating the stabilizing muscles, and to develop and maintain proper cervical posture by increasing kinesthetic awareness. At the beginning of the exercises, the patient is taught to contract the deep stabilizer muscles in a controlled manner, in isolation, without contraction of the superficial muscles. Exercises 2 days a week for 8 weeks, maximum 30 minutes. The session will be actively applied by the patient for a period of time.
