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.

[@rockflock4698]

Not alone 💯

[@ayshaththahira1917]

mee too

[@derekbayer8439]

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.

[@RyanConroyMusic]

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!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kinetichealthonline]

I am glad it helped. Cheers!

[@joelee5875]

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.

[@zee2941]

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

[@kinetichealthonline]

[@justagirl-919]

U had bone imbalance or muscle imbalance?

[@ahadmdabdul]

What is your condition right now? Any improvement?

[@Salma.saadane445]

@@justagirl-919these massages are for muscle imbalance (bcs the bones move with the muscle it’s all about muscle imbalance)

[@simione9542]

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

[@ninak9441]

The first exercise helped me in seconds thank you!!!!
