You are amazing. No one else covers as much as you.

Best I have seen out there. Thanks Blake!

My dominant is my right side. I ran into your videos about a week ago and I am so thankful that I did. I have been doing your TMJ exercises every day now. Exercise #3 is taking me a little longer to do. However I will definitely be doing these TMJ exercises as much as possible to avoid another TMJ surgery. Having my jaw wired shut is not something I want to do ever again. So with that being said THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEO.

this makes so much sense. I cracked a molar on the top/right side right in half and had to get it removed, so my chewing has been maybe unknowingly one - sided. The slight click on my left side has been noticeable lately.

Ah! I've had TMJ issues for like 20 years, ever since I've had my bottom left wisdom tooth pulled (the dentist had trouble pulling it out and tried to pry it out for way too long before choosing to break it down and open the gum.). My jaw would actually lock up fairly frequently on the left side for a few years - and still clicks to this day. Then I had a bike accident and fractured the other tooth on that side. So I spent a long time chewing just on the right side. Then I had an infection in a tooth on the right side which took over a year to asses and fix properly, so I chewed only on the left side for that time... It's been a back and forth of imbalances, really. I can barely keep my mouth open long enough for a regular cleaning, I chew weird. Not from an unconsious thing, tho!

Gonna try that third exercise over the course of the next few weeks. I bailed after 12 reps trying it out now. Yikes!

Can TMJ affect hearing? I have been to several ENT doctors and they say everything looks fine. My left ear has had a “full” feeling for years now. My jaw also sounds like rice crispies on that side when I open and close it. I don’t know what else to do. It causes imbalance issues and everything.

My TMJ was caused by being slapped in the face by my stepfather when I was a child which required jar reconstruction for correction as an adult. However, some of my home physical theory exercises were these 👍🏻 thanks!
