title: [Results of physiotherapy for patients with myofacial dysfunction].
abstract: The methods and results of physiotherapy in the treatment of 200 patients with myofacial pain are described. The first step in this treatment consists of exercises to enhance body awareness. This is followed by mobilization of the entire locomotor system and manual massages for muscle relaxation. Subsequently coordinated physical exercises are performed to train complex movement patterns of masticatory, facial and trunk muscles. 127 patients (64%) could be cured by means of physiotherapy and behavioral guidance alone, another 53 patients (27%) with additional bite plane therapy.
