- Biography
Dr Russell Mottram, B.App Sc (Chiro), graduated in 1983 from Phillip Institute Melbourne, School of Chiropractic. In the late ‘80’s, a personal health issue led to an interest in Craniopathy. Over the following decades he completed numerous post graduate courses in Australia and overseas in Chirodontics, TMJ, Craniofacial Pain, Orofacial Orthopaedics and dental approaches, through his membership of the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain.
Russell became a qualified Orofacial Myologist, an emerging discipline that assesses and treats dysfunctional tongue, lip, swallow and breathing patterns in adults and children, using a largely exercised-based model. He brings understanding from all these approaches to his teaching and treatment paradigm. His treatment of many complex cases of craniofacial pain has led to an interest in brain-based treatments for chronic pain.
Since the early 2000’s Russell has lectured alone and with his Chiropractic and Dental colleagues to Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Osteopaths and Dental organisations throughout Australia promoting a multi-disciplinary approach to Craniofacial disorders. He has taught Cranio-mandibular diagnosis and management at RMIT University for the past 25 years. Russell has co-authored a chapter in the internationally published, multidisciplinary, textbook “Headache, Orofacial Pain and Bruxism” Elsevier 2010. He continues to treat patients at his Victorian practices in Hampton and Ocean Grove under the banner TMJcare.com.au
