Thank you! I have been working with the vagus nerve recently and stumbled into somatic therapy. After watching a video yesterday when the somatic therapist would mention where exactly in the body she felt different sensations, i tried it out today, noting that I had a build up of tension in my jaw, which allowed me to stumble onto this video. Incredible, I was able to have a very clear release of what had been emotionally messing with me today halfway through this massage. I was able to pinpoint it, gain clarity on what I was feeling, and solve it. And now, my jaw is quite relaxed. I will definitely add this to my daily regime. Thank you!
I've had TMJ (TMD) 3 times in my life. Here's some questions to ask a patient: have you had a rolfing session recently? (some rolfers don't do a good job when adjusting a patient's jaw; this caused my TMD. Next, have you had any temporary crowns come out? This caused my TMD. Last, do you wear a full face CPAP mask? If too tight, will cause TMD.
If you clench during sleep: 1. Drop caffeine 2. Don’t drink alcohol regularly 3. Do a sleep study to check for sleep apnea 4. Read before bed, don’t watch RU-vid videos
I have to comment and say I wasn’t expecting much doing this. I have had chronic shoulder pain after sitting or laying down. I did this, and ALL of my shoulder pain went away. I keep testing it….its gone, thank you so much for sharing this!
Great video! Question: Any tips for guys with beards? I'm finding some of these movements catch on my beard and make it hard to really get into the muscle.
Thank you so much! I wake up from nightmares most nights due to C-PTSD so I feel tense every morning. After these exercises my jaw feels so much softer, my breathing is deeper, I am fully aware of my surroundings again. I'm going to do this every night and morning.
This is great. I thought i had tmj. Turns out it's inflamed muscles that spasmed and have trigger points. This video is super helpful. However, i will say ive had success getting it to come down from doing very slow massaging of the fibers jn all directions and finding trigger points and then gently holding until it releases. This combined with heat and NSAIDs have been helpful. I also have to get to tge root cause whicj is stress and my bite. Im clenching anf i didnt even know it.
Whoa, genius to use your other had to massage the outside muscles while compressing/pinning from the inside. I've always tried to do the circles/tension release on the inside of my mouth, which is extremely painful and I think less effective! Thanks!
What are your thoughts on tmj therapy, specifically orthotics? I'm debating whether or not I should pay all of that money for something that might not work; or worse, be detrimental to my current bite. Thank you!
This changed my life thank you so much. Until this I think my jaw hadn’t actually relaxed in years… doing the whole thing and taking your time is so important - I had tried various „quick fixes“ in the past but only this video has truly helped my jaw finally relax I am so grateful 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this! I’ve been doing teeth clenching unintentionally and it sucks. I did warm compress and avoided chewing gum just like kriss ai said. It gave me few mire methods but I just did those two. I’ll probably do this as well! ❤
Oh my God! I didn’t even do it properly, just followed what I could while watching the video. And I feel like a new person after 2 years of constant jaw clenching 😭 Thankyou so much for this video.
Thank you for this video! I started this awful habit years ago and today I woke up with jaw pain which triggered a migraine. I just finished your process and my migraine went away and my jaw muscles feel good. I could hug you right now. You are a blessing.
Is it normal for my face to feel a little sore after doing this for the first time or is that a sign I did something wrong? Everyone is talking about feeling relief, but for me it doesn’t feel much different, just a little sore.
I have just come across this video after searching for a technique that would give some relief from pretty severe TMD. I grind at night & clench throughout the day. This actually works, I will be saving this and coming back to it again! Thank you 🙏🏼
