Jaw Muscle Releasing Techniques

In this video, I'll demonstrate for you 3 ways to release tension from the primary muscles of the jaw. Be careful, go slow, be patient, and do these often!

I experienced immediate relief as I followed through with the video for the first time. Thank you for sharing your skills to us. It means a lot for us who suffer on a daily basis.

The relief I just got while trying this for the first time... THANK YOU DOCTOR!

This is brilliant. I’ve had trouble speaking and eating for 8 months due to fracturing jaw. Muscles got so tight and clicking etc. Physio said my muscles were rigid. His massages didn’t help. Now I can try myself. Thanks

Thank you doctor for being able to cure the hidden pain in the mouth without having any drugs

I felt a big difference after doing the last one. 👍

When I apply the massage to the temporalis is like pressing on a stone: no relief is felt because my temporalis is as hard as a stone, it is literally like rubbing against the superfice of a hard stone.

Dr can tmj in one side cause eyelid to drop?

I love all your videos! Thank you so much for making these and explaining the mechanics behind this complicated but very important joint. I’ve seen two “jaw specialists” over the course of 10 years and neither of them come even close to what I’ve learned from you in the last 24 hours. I know you aren’t an ENT but are you able to touch on how the inner ear is affected by TMJD? Ear pain, fullness, tinnitus? I’ll be sharing your channel in the TMJ support group on Facebook.

I agree with others about some relief right away! Thank you.

I had a bad flare up all day today and my jaw became stiff to the point where i couldn’t move my jaw side to side. I just randomly started putting pressure on my massetor muscle and it made a pop and i got scared..but after that no pain and all the tension completely released..it felt so great lol

Hi doctor. My jow locked after filling two last left lower jaw teeth simulteanously. After 7 days, my jaw locked. There are still some cavities there. And the doctor said jaw lock happened because of dental anesthesia injection into jaw muscles. Now my left jaw clicks even my right but the left more, and the left jaw deviated towards right one. How to place the disk into the right place.

Sir,
Nice presentation. In some videos I have seen fingers/knuckles running from bottom to top out side the mouth as masseter myofascial release. Which is correct..? Can be done both methods.? Doing both methods have different type of reasons .?

[DennisvanLeeuwen]

I hear a lot of mouthclicks when you are talking. Do these come from the mouth or the ear? For a couple of weeks now I get clicks in my rightear when I talk. I don't think it is coming from the jaw because I get a click even when I hardly open my mouth.

Is the pain from this kind of like a moderate headache pain? I am getting it in these points and the back of the eye. How long before it will go away? Kind of scaring me. Thank you

My jaw disk is popping since 4 month now. But some mornings when I wake up I can hear a clicking instead of the pop/clunk. Is that mean the disk is getting closer or the opposite? Thanks for the videos

Hi doc,
Is it possible for tmj dysfunction to cause neck pain / globus feeling plus dysphagia ?
I have a severe spasm in my neck and I also have pain in my tmj it hurts bad and clicks as well . So was wondering if all are interrelated as it all started when I went for a check ue with the dentist for my rct . Upper left molar same as my tmj problem .
