OMG! I thought I was the only one with TMJ problems! I am so happy there is a community of people because I was starting to feel alone. My jaw locks up closed randomly now and it’s so annoying because I can’t eat how I want to and now I’ve built this insecurity of not eating in front of people. It’s just too much sometimes. I hope this video helps.

That’s crazy I’ve had an uneven jaw since 2016 and I I feel it starting to come in place after the in mouth exercises. You’re amazing

Best exercises of all the dozens of tmj videos I’ve watched.

I have been absolutely miserable for the past 4-5 months with jaw pain and headaches. I have started doing these exercises and have already noticed a difference, thank you for sharing this.

I was going to a dark place. Been suffering from cluster headaches and now this TMJ flare up just sent me overboard. These exercises gave me enough relief to come back to earth. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried this, and the results were jaw-dropping!

THANK YOU! It's nice to see someone that's trying to help instead of trying to sell something, you've been very helpful., there should be more people like you.

These stretches are life changing. The ones tackling the temporal muscle relieve so much tension!

Thanks Doc, that felt good. I've had TMJ since 12, I'm 65, and being able to go online, is so cool!!

I had an epilepsy attack which I squeezed my teeth so hard the jaw pain stuck with me for 1 month. This was exactly what I was looking for. Very informative and straightforward (in a good way). Bless you

i had jaw and ear pain for 1 year now, thought it will go away on its own, but it has been very debilitating to live with this shit, i tried my very best to ignore it, but i just cant, tmd is very scary... the worst part is i cant even tell anyone about it, because no one would understand, I imagine most people would just tell me to suck it up, so my journey continues, i give this a shot, thanks for the video

This helps me fall asleep faster and improves the quality of my rest. Thank you!

I'm literally speechless. I have suffered from daily headaches/jaw problems since i was 17 (now 20) which drove me to severe depression. No doctors ever recommended jaw releasing techniques and now I've been doing this one for a week and i can say that i haven't felt this kind of relief EVER. Thank you so much for sharing this video. You have no idea how impactful it is.

Had pain for over a week, felt relief the second day of doing these. No other video helped like this one. Thank you!

Omg this exercise is one of the best on the net thanks

@gracemiddleton9530 4 years ago

had pain for like 3/4 days and was getting progressively harder and more tiring to talk, eat, open, close. did this for the first time today and i basically feel 100% better. i think the internal masseter exercise really hit the spot! thanks so much :)

Been having tmj clicking and locking at night when I lie down or early after I wake for about 4 months now. Five mins of this and the clicking has reduced considerably. Thank u!
