How to self massage tight and sore jaw muscles my Physio SA Adelaide Mt Barker

- Are your jaw muscles tight and sore? Ellie, a remedial massage and sports therapist, explains what could be causing your jaw pain, then teaches you how to massage your key jaw muscles to relieve the pain.
Jaw pain and tightness is a common problem. The main cause is usually stress and tension. Sometimes it can be teeth related or even caused by a trauma to the jaw.
Ellie shows you how to do your own massage on the tight masseter muscles around the jaw and the temporalis muscles up into your temples. These muscles can become overactive, especially if you tend to tighten your jaw and clench during the day or at night in your sleep. This often happens without you even knowing you are doing it.
Ellie demonstrates how to do trigger point therapy and myofacial release massage, similar to what a massage therapist would do for you.

This video ended ten days of agonising pain from a problem I’ve never had in my entire life. Woke up one morning with a locking jaw and stabbing pains in my masseter muscle. I honestly started to think I had cancer of the jaw or something. Thank you so much for this upload. I spent twenty minutes on these exercises and the bloody pain has GONE! Truly grateful. X
Awesome to hear, happy to help 👍
Holly crap! It worked!!! It is literary first time a UA-cam video like this helps! Thank You!
jurisAKCMV That’s great. Keep the massage going. Thanks for the feedback!
Wow now iam interested.
OMG i was about to write this exact comment to a tee. I am here ar 3.26am looking for relief and when i did the first technique by using 2 fingers each side as i did it once it ended the feeling of relief was overwhelming and mad me chock up due to the relief of pressure i got.
I have many symtoms and it is taking over my life. I had to have several teeth out a few yrs ago and that is when it all started not long after and the symtoms well unbelievable, i have headaches daily, pain back of head, eyes neck back arms shoulders scalp and if i was to carry on it would be about another 10 to 15 other symtoms. I clench in my sleep my partner says but i also clench all day, until i notice then i stop so i believe im now stuck in the position of the jaw not releasing enough and i cant take much more what can i do or where do i go for help.
thank you this brief relief though it is a life saver.
Just that first one alone brought me relief. Thanks!
Oh my gosh. My jaw has been hurting so bad and definitely wasnt closing evenly. I just did this and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! 🎉❤🎉 Thank you so much for this content!!
That’s great to hear, happy we could help. Thanks for letting us know.
When she listed side effects of TMJ I was amazed. Like literally all of those things happen to me constantly what a revelation
I've been told countless times I grind my teeth in my sleep since I was 6-7 (I'm 18 now) and I never had my jaw strain like this so I just assumed it was some other cause. But I have no professional training, so gratitude goes out to you for making this video it really helped me out!
It hurts to massage my jaw but i can't seem to stop because it feels so good 😍😍 i tend to massage and get these crunchies (knots) and those hurt like hell
This video was uploaded 6yrs ago but today it really helped me big time. Thank you so much! Those trigger points really helped my painful jaw.
"it might be a little bit uncomfortable"
if you only knew
Oh my god, the first exercise really released all the tension I had in my jaw. Thank you!
Luka Vore Thanks Massage can really help jaw pain. Keep it up!
Same
Thank you! The left side of my jaw has been hurting for days, could barely open it wide enough to bite a sandwich and it hurt to chew. I did these massages about an hour ago and besides a slight twinge and a bit of aches, my jaw is 100% better!
i have been having headaches since i was 5. we don’t know the cause of them but recently they have gotten a lot worse and i am having them every day now. sometimes even twice a day. i also grind my teeth which makes my headaches even worse and my jaw always feels so tense and like there is a lot of pressure in my face and this massage helped sooo much!! thank you
I could not sleep because of tension in my jaw and it was overwhelmingly distracting!!
I watched your video & tried the techniques! The relief was immediate! I could finally relax my lower jaw. Felt like I had won the lottery!! Thank you SO much for taking the time to post. I'm so grateful. :)
Miss Amazon that's great to hear. Thx for your feedback!

Austin Carnine Dr Weinstein's tmj headband stops night teeth grinding and clenching, which means it addresses the root cause of tmj and is possibly able to actually cure it. I strongly recommend it.
So the video coaching on and ask to through the comments here..all of them either saying a thank you or wow that really helped me, am glad I came here :)
WHATTTT???!!! this is magic.. I was troubled from trismus after wisdom teeth removal surgery and I tried these exercises. I was able to open my jaw wider than I was able to before. Thank you so much.
Awesome to hear. I hope it keeps helping
i hope you have nothing but health and happiness in your life omg this video is SO GOODDDD
Omg ...... I will never forget this. Thank you so much!
Wow!!!! Thanks so much!!! This is the second time I have stumbled across your channel and you have saved me - (also sorted out my tennis elbow) - absolutely marvellous, Thanks so much for sharing this, you are definitely changing lives. I was told by a dentist that there was nothing that could be done...
jackdaniels64 that’s great. Happy we could help, again!
I had this again, your video is the most useful, just by one massage and it’s gone! I will always going back to this video when i have locked jaw! Thank u so much
That’s great to hear. Happy to help 👍
Omg i have been taken muscerol 3 for 7 constant days by just watching this video my pain went away in just 3 minutes thanks to u. Peace
Thank you for the straight forward, practical and effective advice🤙
I had TMJ surgery 6 months ago because my joints were displaced and had severe adhesions. It was the worst thing ever. Unfortunately I still suffer with a lot of pain and I never thought about self-massging the facial muscles, thanks for this.
I'm sorry to hear that. What caused it, and how are you today?
I just want to say thank you so much for your help. I broke 4 molars (simultaneously) from constant clenching and these exercises alone have brought so much relief to an otherwise "tight" muscle complex. If only I had known of these exercises before the fractures!
That’s great it helped you, thanks for letting me know
Finally I found a way to stop my MDMA jaw clenching, thank you very MUCH!!!!!!!
i recommend this program for tmj disorder > TMJDisorders5447.blogspot.de
hope it helps
or just stop doing ecstasy you sad fuck
@@raiden2048 You sound like the sad fuck to be honest.
Thank you SO MUCH!! The first relived so much tightness from my jaw. Anybody having TMJ or jaw stiffness should try these ASAP
That’s great to hear 👍
I got my wisdom tooth extracted, and biopsy of the bone underneath. 3 weeks later, the tightness and swelling of the jaw ensues, and soon I developed 'fear of chewing' anything due to the head-splitting pain involved.
Not sure if what I have falls under TMD/J, but this (Ellie) lady's description of the pains and what to expect doing the massages is EXACTLY what I felt.
Doctor had prescribed muscle relaxants, but I hope this helps too.
Immanuel N Hopefully it improves soon for you! Best of luck
I under went PT to help with my TMJ and it worked great. I graduated from it June 7, 2018 after two months of weekly appointment. Mandy my therapist was amazing. With that being said if I was to go back once a month for “monitoring” insurance won’t cover it and it will be $75. I was feeling great till an ER visit just last week where I was so stressed I went back to clenching. I wear a mouth guard at night but it wasn’t helping. A week of pain and wondering if I should go see Mandy again. Found your video this morning and INSTANT relief. I could feel the muscle literally relaxing after the stretches and the pain went away. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Seyler Fam That’s great. Happy we have been of help. Best of luck with it.
it relieves my jaw tension almost immediately! thank you loads! im gonna try to go to bed now.. its 3am....
Thank you so much for posting this, it has really made a difference to my TMJ related pain and headaches.

Old video but so happy I found it. I clench my teeth a lot due to chronic pain and sometimes the headaches are unbearable. Thanks for making this.
Thanks. Hope it helps you!
Wow thank you Doc, it worked! Thought i had ear infection for a second lol
I’m adding that first one to my skincare routine! I don’t have any side effects from teeth grinding yet but this will be a great preventative measure
Thank you for your help I fell alot better than I expected
That's great, thanks.

i told my friend i kept finding myself clenching my jaw and having headaches and she said something about TMJ. didnt catch it and searched youtube for relief and holy lohrd. a few mins ago my teeth wouldnt leave each other and now it feels so relaxed. thank you 😭😭😭
Awesome. Glad it helped
Your accent is beautiful!
Lol it is
Called the Australian accent
I did the first 2, because I have a broken lower left jaw, and it did help, because I need to keep it closed firmly all the time for 40 days, and it is tightened with rubbers. I was doing similar things before, but not exactly that way. I was massaging the two side muscles by applying pressure, and doing circular type movements.
Smita best of luck with your recovery!
Omg thank you so much! I was in so much pain! My tongue is a bit too big for my mouth and with the clenching it was terrible! Thank youuuu 1000 times
Wow, this actually worked! Thank you so much! I still have some soreness on my right side, but I can actually open my mouth all the way now.
Lionheart Awesome!
that saved my life
Thank you so much my jaw been aching like nothing I've felt before. Both sides I've not slept for 35hours and doing this has relieved it (icfelt a slight pop or grinding and it's eased on the right side (not sure what i did but it's eased.
Thank you you're an angel
Happy it helped 👍
This video is literally a lifesaver
damn right
Thank you i bit on a hard almond yesterday and been feeling a sour jaw since then this message realy helped me you can feel the difference instantly ❤️
Like many others, I found this VERY helpful. I have a lot of stress and this is usually a problem, but I just had the tightest jaw I've ever experienced and found this video and it is almost immediately helpful.
Aspen Blain Thanks for your great input. Best of luck with it all!
I got my jaw locked a moment ago then I searched how to cure it, this massage is really effective! Thanks to you I feel relieved now😌
Awesome, happy to help!
Jaw was sore for two days because of grinding while having a flu. This worked to perfection. I was in agony the night before because i couldn’t get my face/jaw comfortable. Thank you!!!
That’s great to hear. Happy to help
merci madame de paris. Vous nous avez aidé beaucoup!
So helpful!! Thank you.

Chris Martinez That’s great! Best of luck
After having a local anaesthetic in a dental appointment treating a root canal I couldn't open my jaw properly for 3 weeks, they told me to take anti imflammities and then other drugs and this diid not relive the problem. I decided to look for massage to self massage/manipulate and found your video. I can't believe how well it worked after a few minutes, I also can't believe how tense my jaw was before, what a relief, thanks
Barry Phelan happy to help, thanks for the feedback.
myPhysioSA Payneham how often can you do this massage ? Thanks
Barry Phelan if you are massaging gently then twice per day, if it’s strong then once per day 👍
myPhysioSA Payneham that makes sense, thanks
Maybe i have TMJ. I’m not sure why but I’ve been having “ice pick” headaches on the right side of my head (in the temporalis muscle where you pointed) But it’s only on one side, and in one place. I thought it was just a real bad migraine from stress and went to urgent care where they wanted to run a brain scan and put me on a steroid. Eventually the headache subsided and i started having aches running down my jaw to under my chin so i put a hot pack under my chin and my headaches stopped but my jaw felt achey. I think it definitely has to do with how i sleep. Now i prop a pillow a certain away so it’s comfortable under my chin and the side of my head. It helped a lot.
Sounds like you need to be checked over by a Physiotherapist who specialises in TMJ. Also your dentist can check whether you are a clencher at night. Try the massage techniques gently and see if they help. 👍
Thank you !! I had terrible pain after some dental work (and 4 needles!!) so your techniques really helped.
Angela Bxx that’s great news. Happy to help
Thank you so much for sharing these useful techniques!! This really helped a lot!

Thanks! Really clear instructions and it really works well!
Thank you so much for this video! As someone who suffers daily from TMJ and the headaches it brings, this seemed to help almost instantly! I'm just wondering how many times a day or how often you can do this?

I'm so glad I went down a youtube rabbit hole of massiter muscle relief, and that I decided to scroll down through the comments. I don't know how long this product has been around but I wish that I could have been made aware of it years ago. My facial muscles are a wasteland of excruciatingly painful knots from years of clenching/grinding during sleep. In all the searching I've done to find relief nothing has quite worked, but this looks extremely promising. It makes so much sense now after reading on their website about how it is an addiction to the soothing feeling of clenching those muscles, even though it is so heavily damaging. I've had half waking glimpses of that feeling for years but haven't been able to bring it to my conscious awareness. Thank you for this comment. I'll be obtaining one of their sleep guard headbands asap.
@@ShoesMagoo has it gotten you any relief yet?
@@eldin702 I've not been able to acquire one yet. Once I can afford to spend the $395 to buy one I'll post an update here.
ShoesMagoo Thank you so much, I want to try the headband but is it covered by Medicare I cry every day and night I hurt my jaw and face in a bad fall I took on my hardwood floor to my body and face bounced up and hit it twice since last August I have been in horrid pain in ear and jaw swelling and ear and crunching as I try to eat or chew or drink I have to hold my jaw up by my hand to speak or eat something I have lost weight I am small to begin with now I am 94 lbs hope the surgeon can help me with a special jaw ex-ray migraine some days too we’re awful never had a headache before. I can’t take muscle relaxers I am allergic, get sick, but this crunching is not muscle related like my neck also have osteoporosis arthritis in my neck and back of skull from a car accident years ago hope this head band will fix this I don’t want surgery.. 😢😭
been a week since my jaw fatigue, thanks for this video it really works!!
RIG RIG RIG Gear Demo thanks for your kind words. I hope your jaw keeps feeling good

This helped me out tremendously! Thank you!
Awesome!
Thanks this helped me at the office
Very nice helpful lady. hope you are doing well
Amazing thank you so much for this !!
i have mytonia congentia --- it took misdiagnoses of tmj and going to THREE maxiofacial Drs for the last one to finally say, there is nothing wrong with your joint, it is a muscle issue. Then it took a couple more years after that for a Dr to order geneticist testing and found out widespread muscle pain (including jaw sometimes) was from M.C!
Thanks for sharing your story
Wow. What a difference.
Thank You So Much.
Thanks ! I think it helps a bit for my migraines
Thank you. I tried this and it works for now, hopfully it won't come back.
Thibault Willemyns great start. You may need to massage every day for a while if you have had the pain for a while.
At the end I kinda felt a pop in the left side! My jaws went from locked to massively released!! This has worked very well!
Awesome!
Im 15 and i have this for a 6 months it helped me a lot. I think the reason for having tmj is bcuz i like clenching my jaw, i didnt know of the consequences😵
I recommend searching for tongue position/mewing!~
I got hit with a football and my jaw is dislocated
That definitely worked! Thank you!
Awesome. It works perfectly. Thank you very much.
Good clear explanation. thank you!
Thanks so much for the video. The massage is definitely making my symptoms better
Shruti Manish That’s great. Keep it going.
I've been experiencing locked jaw for about three years and I'm so happy I found this video. It didn't unlock my jaw completely, I'm going to ask my dentist for that, but it did loosen it to where I am able to open it for the first time in months. It's so painful I can't eat or brush my teeth or even cry because it becomes swollen. I'm in so much pain.
Dominik hi, thx for your comment. Definitely see your dentist, and keep gently doing the massage. Visit our website for other jaw exercises that help to get your jaw moving better. Good luck with it all!
myPhysioSA North Adelaide I am planning to soon as possible. I'm 18 but still live at home so I'm waiting until a parent can take me. What do you suggest I do about it being dislocated? Because it's not only sore and locked, but also out of line and I can see it and feel it out of place. Thank you again so much
Dominik hi, you need to get it checked , it can be very complicated , with many different causes. Can't give any specific advice or diagnosis without an assessment etc, so try to see a professional as soon as possible.
myPhysioSA North Adelaide Alright I will do that as soon as I'm able to. Thank you for speaking with me
Dominik Dr Weinstein's tmj headband stops night teeth grinding and clenching, which means it addresses the root cause of tmj and is possibly able to actually cure it. I strongly recommend it.
I've just been massaging the area but I didn't know about these 2 trigger points in this socket, other than the one right in front of the ear. I feel like these will really help me. I actually felt the muscle release tension for the first time, even though it came back as soon as I stopped but hopefully after I've done this a few times a day it'll be better.
kanad3 yes, these other trigger points are really effective. Best of luck with it!
Great and helpful video!
Madam,
Nice video. In some videos I have seen fingers/knuckles running from top to bottom out side the mouth as masseter release. Which is correct..? Can be done both methods.? Doing both methods have different type of reasons .?
Hi, the other techniques you mention are great options as well. They are fine to try as well. The answer is, find what works best for you. Try all the techniques and see what feels best. Best of luck 👍
@@MyphysiosaAuAdelaide Thank you Mam
it helps a lot tha k you ad..i hope i can practice it to reduce my psy problem with tense.
She didn't ask for like subscribe and share.
Respect🙏🏻
The last one works so much
thank you this helped a lot

Loki Beckons Awesome!
Great video this actually gave me same relief l did feel we bit pain in my right ear my face been swelling for week
thank you for this video , very helpful. kersten from Belgium
we dont have to know where you are from mate! plus your name is already written on top of your comment.
You are amazing ♥️ thank you!!!!
Literally addicted to the first one
Thank you very much! I have muscle tension from the shoulders up, but my right jaw in particular is very sore, hard and stiff--Like a knot. I have either referred pain at the forehead or occipital pain coming up from the back of the head. At the temple of the right side of the head, after doing the message, I have twitching. Can that be from the massage? Will that eventually stop? I'm doing various massages that is helping! I also have continuous tinitus bilaterally. I will be seeing my neurologist soon! Thanks again!
Hi, If massage doesnt seem to be helping, then stop and see your doctor or specialist. If you have tension headaches or bruxism (overactive masseter muscle) then massage will either only give temporary relief or can temporarily aggravate symptoms. Massage wont be harmful, it just wont be helpful in the long run. Good luck David
