The pain is actually lessening, I can't believe it. Thank you so much. I was literally starting to lose my mind, nothing was working.

[hridaynagaraju]

Hii, I am from India and I had the same problem of Tmj pain. After practicing the exercises for 2 weeks that was provided in your video, my pain was totally relieved. Now I am absolutely fit and fine. Thank you doctor jo for this video which helped me to cure my pain.. Thank you so much once again😊

[Janicala]

Dr. Jo, thank you! It's been 2.5 years that I'm suffering from TMJ and nothing seemed to work, not even the nightgard. I tried many exercices previously, but the one that you are showing in this video worked for me. I have less pain and I can yawn without holding my jar! Thank you so much, you just don't know how grateful I am!

[SK-jckf]

I was in a lot of pain, the pain reduced a lot after doing these exercises. thanks doc

[keerti-aashaclasses]

I'm suffering from this stupid disease since last one year and you r only the super hero who gives the proper treatment

[yaminiz]

Thank you many millions Dr Jo. My sufferings of since almost 18 months are just gone in 2 days of these exercises. It's seems like I don't even remember the pain anymore. Recommending it to all who maybe having this terrible pain. Thank you again.

[chloeishaynepadlan]

Dang I should've followed this exercise much earlier. I thought it wouldn't work, but I was wrong! I've been feeling uncomfortable for the last 2 months, but the pain went away after doing this exercise once. I can't express my gratitude enough. You're a life saver! God bless you🥰

[sunnysideup]

Thank you! My TMJ is getting so bad that I can’t chew at times, so this was very helpful! I do these whenever I have a flare up

[kawasakigrl]

I have had tmj issues since i was about 9/10 years old. They lessened for a few years but as of recently they are coming back as i have had to stop seeing my chiropractor and massage therapist thanks to moving. This video helped me immensely. Still some pain but i am able to be wayyyy more comfortable! A lot of these were things my chiro taught me to do at home and i forgot about over time! Thank you so much!

[pleiku]

I am doing this while I am in pain. It helped right after the instruction is over. This is the best.

[melissajackson]

I've been having headaches quite frequently, and I think it's because my jaw tends to tense up a lot. I am really hoping these stretches and exercises help!

[muriel]

It works 😭😭 I had a terrible tmi flair up. Nothing was making it go away or relieving the pain. Now I am comfortable again. Thank you!

[mstaffor]

Felt a lot of relief after doing these stretches and exercises, thank you!

[lalitagopi]

Thank you so much. Helped me instantly. I have been in lots of discomfort for past
5 years followed by head ache every day.
Night guards doesn’t help at all. I felt the instant relief doing this exercise.Thank you.

[peaches]

This exercise is really helpful. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Did this 1-2 times a day and now I can sleep peacefully without having to worry about TMJ pain

[achildnamedcassie]

Wow. No joke, I was having a pretty ugly headache but after the first set of stretches I got instant relief! I could feel the headache going away! I will definitely continue to do these stretches! I went to the dentist because my jaw was popping. She told me I had tmj last month, but I was skeptical because I wasn’t having headaches. She referred me to physical therapy but since I was skeptical I held off on it.. well my headaches started in the last couple of days :/ I’m so thankful for this video and these stretches from Dr. Jo :) I plan to follow up after a few weeks of these stretches for anyone else who may be having tmj pain.

[SavonnahAnderson]

I feel like this helped my pain a little tonight, first video that has ever made me feel a little better after watching it and trying it, thanks hun. I wish you the best :)
