- I am so excited to share this video with you because the research is clear. When you are trying to help your TMJ dysfunction (TMD), self-care WITH postural training is more effective for correction and symptom relief than TMJ self-care by itself.
-Wright et al. (2000)
“A combination of exercise and manual therapy, correction of body posture, and relaxation techniques significantly alleviates jaw pain, restricted movement, and impairment.” -Nikolakis et al. (2001) state,
The combined method of rehab is needed because this posture/TMJ connection can present with symptoms like weakness in your deep cervical neck flexor muscles, jaw “popping”, jaw “clicking”, Forward Head Posture (FHP), trigger points in your trapezius and levator scapula muscles, orofacial pain, decreased ability to fully open your mouth, suboccipital tightness, ear pain, headaches and more.
Posture plays a crucial role in managing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, as it directly affects the alignment and function of the jaw. Proper posture helps maintain optimal alignment of the head, neck, and spine, which in turn reduces strain on the TMJ. When the head is held in a neutral position, with the ears aligned over the shoulders and the chin parallel to the ground, the muscles surrounding the jaw are better able to relax and function without undue stress. Conversely, poor posture, such as slouching or jutting the head forward, can lead to misalignment of the jaw and increased tension in the muscles responsible for jaw movement, exacerbating TMJ symptoms.
Furthermore, maintaining good posture throughout daily activities can alleviate pressure on the TMJ joint itself. For instance, sitting with proper spinal alignment while working at a desk or standing with even weight distribution can prevent unnecessary strain on the jaw joint. By minimizing stress on the TMJ, individuals with TMJ disorder may experience reduced pain, stiffness, and discomfort associated with the condition. Incorporating ergonomic principles into daily activities, such as adjusting the height of a computer monitor or using a supportive chair, can further promote optimal posture and alleviate TMJ symptoms.
In addition to promoting physical alignment, mindful posture can also encourage relaxation and reduce overall tension in the body, including the muscles of the jaw. Practicing techniques such as deep breathing, gentle stretching, and mindfulness meditation can help individuals become more aware of their posture and release muscular tension that may contribute to TMJ discomfort. By cultivating a relaxed and balanced posture, individuals can support the health and function of the TMJ, ultimately reducing the frequency and severity of TMJ symptoms.

This is where this TMJ 5 video comes in. You are going to go through strong posture exercises that are core focused and strong posture exercises that address forward head posture. For these, it is best if you have a wall to lean against. Then we will do some of my favorite stretching and manual therapy movements for your muscles of mastication like your temporalis and masseter muscles. Finally, as the research indicates, we will relax and focus on gratitude.
Pair this with one of my other TMJ videos per day and, if you still need more help, book a telehealth or in-person appointment through my website by clicking “book online”

Bulk of people can't afford high class medical help for neurological and injury issues,and are left to their own devices with no expertise as disadvantaged lot. These videos can help to relieve the related conditions that any individual can have.....so 'thank you' for this great help.
That is so true and so unfortunate. This is exactly why I share my exercises with everyone. Please share with others who might find it helpful
I am so thankful for your TMJ and ETD videos! I’ve spent thousands on physical therapy and cervical adjustments over the years, and nothing has helped me like your videos. In the course of a couple of weeks, my ear fullness has almost disappeared, my posture is better, and my jaw is much more relaxed. I am happy and the jaw pain and facial numbness I’ve been experiencing for over a year is almost gone. Thank you Dr. Adam!!!
This is a comment that will be fuel for future videos. I am SO HAPPY for you, Elle. How great it would be to pair my videos with the care you had. Let those providers know.
All the best!
I am grateful for your comment, it gives me so much courage to go forward with Dr. Fields' exercises. I am experiencing the same symptoms for roughly 3 months now, but thankfully for the past couple of weeks I found out about the exercises and I'm getting better everyday! ; ) I hope you are through with your symptoms and wishing you big blessings. Again thank you Dr. Fields and all the best in the world.
I’m so glad you mentioned numbness! That’s my main symptom. So happy you feel better!! Gives me hope to keep going 🥰
Thank you🙏
100% same for me I have suffered from jaw clenching and TMJD for over a decade. Spent thousands on acupuncture, dental, chiropractic and massage. Two months ago I had a severe flare up causing face pain and even dizziness which completely inhibited my daily routine. What a timely gift to find Dr Fields videos. I strive to do one or two each day most days. My results are amazing when I am consistent I notice that my jaw is not locking up throughout the day the face pain and dizziness are gone. I’m more open in my body overall. 🙏🙏🙏 so grateful.
I'm so grateful I found this video! Thank you from Ukraine 🙏
So glad to help someone from Ukraine. My grandfather came from Zhytomyr. You may like this one also.

I am extremely grateful for your videos. I feel like you have saved my life. No Doctor that I found in DK could help me and then I took matters in my own hands, searched for answers and found you. Thank you Adam!
Thank you Doctor. Im so grateful. God bless you❤
God is blesssssing!!!
Thank you Dr Adam, I enjoy your TMJ video every night before bed. Your videos help me not only with TMJ exercise but also with my anxiety. Your positive warm words and voice makes me relaxed. Since I started your videos, my TMJ is so much better. Thank you very much for making these videos. You are truly my savior.
He's a good doctor but Jesus Christ is the only one that saves your soul.
I have done several of your TMJ exercises on a regular daily basis. I have to say that this one is a must do it! I have instantaneously felt the correction of my posture and even the alignment much needed….from my lower back all the way up to my head! I will also learn to be happy in the middle of my challenges😊!
Greetings and thanks from Germany!
I'm feeling more relaxed. My neck and Jaw, as well. You're the best and funiest Doctor that I know. I do your exercises, every day. Thanks, Doc.
Wonderful, Sebastian...Happy to meet with you daily
Yes he's funny 😂
Inspiring as hell. And we want this Dr. live for another 60 years
Thanks mucho!
I am so grateful for your support and expertise. Your kind words are so helpful as part of this treatment.
I have been suffering from jaw pain for 10 years and I find your holistic approach to healing innovative.
Thank you ❤
I am so happy to have you on board. 10 years is a long time. Keep up the good work here.
The word on this video is grateful. I am so grateful for you. I have my life back! I have passed these videos on to my massage and physiotherapist.
heart-to-heart comment. thank you!
Stretching the neck under the chin has worked wonders for me. I lie on my back across the bed with my head and arms flopped over the side. You have to have good core strength to get back up but I feel ready for anything after doing it and my TMJ pain is definitely subsiding.
I am grateful for you Adam! So appreciate your gentle, clear, holistic approach!
Thank you for everything. I love your videos and recommend them to patients.
Dr. Adam, I can't thank you enough for sharing these TMJ exercises with us. You seem to know exactly how to help what's wrong with my jaw when I can't find the right way to explain it to doctors and chiropractors. I want you to know I genuinely mean it when I say your videos are the ONLY thing that has helped me, even when I've been in to see professionals face to face. These exercises bring me immediate relief, it's not 100% but I would honestly say at least 50% improvement. I've been suffering from TMJD for a long time with it steadily getting worse, and I could cry doing these.
Thank you Dr. Adam! your TMJ videos have brought me so much relief from my issues but also my mental well being on top of it! It has only been a week or so after finding your channel and following the exercises, it has brought me so much relief and I know I have ways to go yet in my journey but you have been a daily joy in recovery and self love.
Another cracking video Adam! Thanks for all you do for us 😊
My pleasure, Elizabeth. Excited to help!
Adam I absolutely love your energy and your videos. I can't thank you enough for radiating and teaching all that you do. It means so much. - big love from Indiana.
Wow, thank you, Colin. I appreciate the appreciation. ; )
I think this is my favorite of your TMJ videos. Thanks for producing it.
Went a little off the script on this. Glad you think so and more to come working on posture.
You have helped me so much! Thank you. I love how grateful you are.
Living in gratitude, Jennifer

Thanks for showing up
This was unexpectedly demanding! Especially for my arms. Thank you for all of your TMJ videos, they help me so much :)
So glad and I always welcome the feedback
thank you very much!!!!. Excellent class, and excellent teacher!!!!
Thank you! 😃
At first I was reluctant to try this video in the series. I am so happy i did! My TMJ, balance, posture and even the knot in my Trapezius feels better. Dr. Field's uses the word "grateful" in this video. I am definitely grateful for my daughters hand to hold, but i'm sure I can speak for everyone that watches and uses your instructional videos that we are grateful you have taken the time to create these insightful and extremely helpful and healing videos for those that live way too far away and are suffering. Thank you Dr. Field's!
You made my day, Alex! I have 6 year old twin girls and know how great it is to hold their hands, too. ; )
I am also very very thankful for this video, it has really helped relieve the pain and tension behind my ear and neck for years!!!! My shoulders jave never felt so light before. Thank you thank you Dr. Adam Fields!!! I have always enjoyed your videos and am truly grateful to you. Take care and sending you my best wishes.
Great Video! Thanks!
Thank you doctor fields I’ve been having hard time but when I saw your videos it helped me a lot thank you so much it makes me cry 😭
I'm so happy for you
These exercises have really healed me! You are fantastic, and very knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you like them and thanks for the feedback.
Thank you ✨I’m happy I found your channel, hoping this helps my symptoms, thank you for focusing on TMJ and bringing hope to those who struggle with it 💙
I see enough people with it to know how frustrating it is. Keep up the good self-care.

Happy to help and let's get this channel helping more and more people ; )
I'm grateful for your videos, my TMJ and the tinnitus has improved. My posture has improved as well. Thanks.
Thanks mr. Fields! This one really sucks but your positive encouragement is what gets you through. One love!
Whatever works ; )
Did this for the first time today! thank you so much! im feeling grateful for your video and wisdom and hope this helps my TMJ!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK WITH 2 VIDEOS/DAY. THANKS MICHELLE
Thank you so much for your T!J videos. Life saver. I’ve been grinding my teeth all my life and often have painful jaws the next day. I’ve only done your exercises once and already feel such great relief. Really loving your positive vibes and look forward for my dose of calm every evening. ❤
So glad, Stefanie! I hope you can get your jaws to relax. Don't forget to forgive everyone in your life (living or dead). Anything running around in the subconscious can go right to clenching/grinding.
I think I also get tight jaws, because I have very dry mouth (Sjögren syndrome). I notice that even during the day, I’m tightening the muscles and pushing my tongue to the roof of my mouth. Any tips?
Y E S ! U help me with my jaw more than my physiotherapist had. Ppl NEED these videoes and I actually believe u care :) thanks again Dr! (from IL)
I'm so glad and grateful. Let's send your PT the videos and share the care...

Always welcome
5 days ago I did not know how grateful I"d be for this playlist thank you
So glad you made it to #5. Way to go!
I like how you attack the problem through multiple possible areas. It could be due to bad posture, it could be due to staying in a particular way too long. It could be tension and stress. You manage to hit all of them without actually calling out you're hitting multiple birds with the same video. Thank you so much for sharing.
Good stuff! Not just for the TMJ but for overall body alignment and posture at the beginning of the day.
Very true! A new posture lift video coming soon
Im greatfull for you doc this is better than money thanks
I have really been suffering extreme pain with TMJ. I have steroid injections about once a year. They help, but I am really glad to have your exercises. SO glad to know that I can make a difference this way. Thank you!
this is my favorite so far!!! Oh wow! I realized I was in pain all the time, what a release! Thank you so much! I am deeply grateful for you
Thanks so much, Ruth! I'm so glad you got some relief and your smile is even brighter. : )

great video
So glad you found it. So key!
I'm so glad to have found your video! I have done so much good for my tmj over the years with yoga. What a huge improvement in my posture and jaw mobility! When I recommend this path to people with tmj difficulties, however, they often don't want to try it. I think it's intimidating? Or otherwise an uninviting exercise path.
Your video is just super accessible! And I'm so so happy that you have a whole-body approach! I will definitely be sending people your way, and returning to this video myself.
Wonderful! Thanks for your thoughtful comment!

I’m so grateful I found your videos! I have had neck and shoulder tension. Jaw pain and headaches off and on for many years. Self help can go a long way in healing ourselves. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and positivity. 💜
Thanks Christina. So glad you made it to TMJ 5. 6 and 7 are coming soon.
@@dradamfields Looking forward to it. Thank you.
Thank you!
You are welcome
That is the hardest thing I have ever done. I think I need to find your previous videos i couldn't make it past 7 minutes.
I don’t even know what TMJ stands for but this is it . Thank you so much for these videos they are priceless, meditative 🙏
You are so welcome...love it : )
Thank you !!! i suffer of tmj since a bad dentist took off my 4 wishdom theeth, since my face is a little bit not symétrical, so thanks for your videos that help a lot.
You're so welcome, Emie
It's great to have you to work out with,, my new shoulders felt heavy,, only been 1 yr. On last 1,,so I'm still trying to get them back more. It's a no wonder my TMJ started giving me a fit,on top of I have really high arches,,so it's walking odd effecting my TMJ but I'm not having them lowered. Sports surgeon wants t lower them. No!!
Thanks doc for the new content focused on headache/TMJ that focuses around the neck and facial muscles. It’s giving my somatic tinnitus/dizziness intermittent relief.
By far the most effective exercise you’ve shown me is the occipital lifts. The closest I can get to silence after doing some of those. 👍🏼
For the very high % of the population that needs them, the occipital lift is gold. I'm so glad you got that feedback from your ears.
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Thank you thank you very much Dr. Adam Fields❤️ ,your TMJ videos helped a lot..last evening still there's a pain beside my right upper gum ,right nose and right eyes ..but this morning while I eat breakfast ,thanks God I feel little pain only ..when I drink hot coffee I did not feel the ache /tingling sensation ...thank you thank you very ❤️Godbless🙏🙏
Wonderful! I'm so happy for you!!!! God is a blessing through these videos. ; )
This one works pretty well for me I have mild tmj pain or tightness in jaw and after doing these it feels so good and relaxed. Thank you doctor for sharing these.
Great to hear! I LOVE THE WALL POSTURE EXERCISES
thank you so much Sir
You are most welcome
Love this thank you. 🙏❤️🇮🇪
Love that you loved it!
Bravo. Regards Australia. My partner also loves your exercises.
Glad you like them!
Excellent video, well done 👍
I like doing this exercise, it really feels like it targets a lot of things at once.
However my lower back muscles, the ones that run vertical either side of spine get tight and cramped when doing wall angles.
Good morning
Thanks again ❤
Thank you too
THANKYOU! THIS make me feel really well in old my body non only jaw🙆!
You're getting younger this year!
Youuuuupiiii TMJ 5 I am sooo happy merci adaaam❤️
We're having fun ; )
@@dradamfields yes yes ❤️
Thanks for these videos doc! Should these eliminate nighttime grinding? Or is it just to take care of the symptoms? My issue is that I’m grinding away my teeth and causing cavities
That very helpful
Glad you think so!
I love your kindness and help you give me. I am getting better 🤗 I just wanted to know if it's normal the side pains on my side.
As posture is shifting, Frances, there can be soreness in your postural muscles. Enjoy the shift ; )
Tôi là người việt nam không biết tiếng anh, nhưng cũng tập theo và thấy khỏe hẳn mong là được hết luôn, rất biết ơn bác sỉ từ phương xa , cảm ơn
Excellent video but I'm having an issue with the first excercise: when I push my head back against the wall, it forces my jaw to close and grind my teeth, I can't avoid this no matter how much I tuck my chin or actively try to keep my jaw open. Is this normal? Any way to avoid this?
Other than that, this is pure gold. I've been following your videos for a while and they helped me so much that I'm lost for words, it really changed my life for the better. The most helpful excercises, explained in the best possible way and with the most positive atitude, you should be proud of yourself!
Thank you so much and please take care of yourself too, the world needs more of you!
try attaching your tongue fully to your palate, it will prevent you from grinding your teeth
Thanks so much dr Adam. I fell better after treatment 7 days. Now I use Splint / night guard isn't still use ? Hope yours advice. Tq
Thank you so much for all of your excellent videos. What is your opinion on breast implants affecting the posture and relation to TMJ pain?
Hi Fallon, Two 300cc breast implants weight less than a pound and a half. If you already have them in and there is no other problem with them, I believe you can get yourself in the shape to handle them. If one is out of shape neuromuscular and biomechanically, they can be a problem. I really like your question and will be doing a Q&A video on it. Thank you!
Thank you! Is there any muscles related to TMJ and also ETD? I believe my jaw and limited mobility on the right side (TMJ) has caused some ETD in the right ear. Alot of ear popping on the right side. Is there any muscles related with this? Maybe the medial pterygoid gland and palpations inside the mouth could help?
Update: Applying deep pressure towards the medial pterygoid, right after whenever I would open my jaw/yawn the clicking/popping definitely subsided! Holy moly, hopefully this all comes together and the clicking/noise sensitivity goes away. Gonna keep on going back to your videos and improving posture while also working on temporalis and other muscles involved.
How often should I palpate inside the mouth?
You're on it! I would do 2 videos/day. If you are really sensitive on the pterygoids, hold for 20-40 seconds 2x and do it 3x/day but with a relaxed face. I like how thoroughly you are engaged.
Thank you Dr. Adam for all these exercises. Is there a 'correct' sleeping/sitting position for those who have TMJ joint dysfunction? Also do you have any exercises for the Eustachian tubes? Thank you again.
Yes, absolutely Look up my Eustachian Tube Dysfunction video.. There is also a separate Q&A
This one was really difficult!!
This is great exercise. Thank you, Adam 🍀 Can we do it two times a day? THANK YOU 💙
Yes you can! Go for it!
Hi ...i m new hear kindly tell something about tenderness of masseter muscle
شكرا لك
اهلا بك
Can forward head posture be the cause of tmj or does it pushing your head back just relieve the tension? I ask because forward head posture correction has been the only procedure to relieve my Pain
Right after I do your videos I feel a lot of pain in the right side of my jaw/cheekbone (tmj gives me pain and tightness on the right side of my jaw, and clicking on my left). Is this normal or should I stop doing the videos? I haven't done them for very long. Maybe I just have to keep going?
I was thinking you could potentially do a anterior pelvic tilt fix stretch/strengthening video for weak glutes/abs/tight hip flexors. Since this is correlated with TMJ as well, whatcha think?
I'm with ya, Joey. Posture/core are the correct direction.
doing thes once todays click my throat crasy and i can breath for the 1st time in my life it hurts so good. it saved my life
That's incredible! I've seen that a lot in my practice.
I'm wondering if I should do a pelvic tilt while doing this routine? Thanks!
Yes you do. When I am having your flatten your low back against the wall, that is a pelvic tilt
I get really sore when i try do any tmj exercises.suggestions?
WOW!!!
Glad to have you
How many time do this exercise in week
Do you have any patients that deal w TMJ along w SI joint problems? I had PT for my SI and he said they aren’t connected. Then I read it can be. Curious on your thoughts. Yes, I will be watching your vids on SI joint pain. Between my jaw and my hips, I’m a mess.😢
I deal w SI joint issues so my balance is so off!! Maybe I’ll do your joint pain vids first, then do these. Lol.
Hi Amy,
For you, it's all about finding what works for your body. Try a video and, if you feel okay, try another. Check out my core series for some gluteal/posterior chain work.
In my office, i use my ESWT machine on the SI joint quite frequently. You may want to find one (and a practitioner that will use it on the SI joint) in your area.
Thanks for another great video Dr Adam. I have question that I hope you might be able to answer. I’ve had issues swallowing (a dysphagia) of sorts on and off for almost 1.5 years now. I’ve gotten checked out for anything in my nose or throat but it’s all negative. However, my ears feel constantly clogged (as if I was on an airplane kind of thing) and my head feels heavy/pressured. I do suffer from a lot of allergies and notice the swallowing gets better when I drink allergy meds, but doctors say it’s not that and could be tmj. Can tmj cause poor hearing AND swallowing problems? I really am desperate for answers at this point.
Oh yes it can. Trigger points can form in your throat with TMD, mouth breathing can cause your throat to dry out, the allergies can be spawned by a leaky gut and even your neck can contribute. Have you done my swallowing and singing videos? Throat Openers
V1 ua-cam.com/video/m9_kHsF1QkM/v-deo.html
V2 ua-cam.com/video/5xg4HrCzL1g/v-deo.html
Try them for a while and, if you need more help, go to my website and sign up for a telehealth call so we can team up on this. Dysphagia has a brutal stress component. I'm sure this is tweaking with your mind but you have to overcome it with deep relaxation and muscle work. Take care and don't give up!
Thanks for raising this question, The Mediumalist and for answering Dr. Fields, I also have the ear feeling clogged quite regularly and it's painful (due to the tension/pressure) which extends to my throat, it's however just on the left side. Massaging the ear and around the ear can get incredibly painful. I assume it's TMD since there is nothing wrong in either the ear or my mouth. I don't have hearing or swallowing issues either so perhaps I have less of the throat symptoms and more the ear symptoms. Deep relaxation and muscle work sound like the way to go, thank you for this helpful content!
Thank you so much for answering. I’ve done your ear dysfunction videos and they help a bit with the clogging, but it seems to return after a while. I will try the singing and throat videos. I’m an extremely positive person but dealing with all this has caused me a lot anxiety and sad thoughts, because it’s so difficult to eat a meal with family/friends relaxed and not worrying that it might be your last. Thank you for the info about the tele health it’s nice to know help is available. I will try these things and if not, I will make an appointment. Have a wonderful day.
I hope you get better too, that sounds very annoying to deal with, hope you find a solution. :-)
I like your positive attitude coming through in the midst of the challenge. Check out my ETD and ETD Q&A videos also as, even though this may be coming from your jaw, there may be some effects that have become their own causes in you ears.
Has anyone noticed any improvements with vertigo or dizziness as a result of TMJ exercies? Thanks.
My stooped shoulders need your help. I often feel dizzy and/or disoriented.
Hi Vauna, The posture is so connected to TMJ and that feeling you are having.As long as you have had a healthcare provider rule out anything more severe, try the occipital lifts and the strong posture neck retractions and see if they help that dizzy feeling. Look at my Neck RElief Series also
Any advice for neck tightness? I have no diagnosis but severely tight neck that often feels pinch and also shoulder tightness with pinched nerves at times radiating to arms.
I enjoy this but my neck feels tight pushing back is that ok?
Get on these to help with your neck...

so sorry...Circular Traction (714) 847-8334
Thank you!
I have a jaw problem I couldn't open my mouth so I did several physiotherapy sessions at a kinitherapeut for 8 months but I haven't really had good results,, Accidentally I discovered your video and I did it twice a day for 4weeks,, Now I can open my mouth and the pain has reduced you are angel doctors thank you so much❤️💜
Doctor FYI,, Recently I developed that I have TMJ osteoarthritis (result of MRI) Do I keep doing these exercises? What do you advise me doctor? What should I do as a next step, Knowing that my doctor will inject me plasma in the my ATM🙂
I like the PRP (platelet rich plasma) and the ozone injections show promising results to help with TMJ arthritis. Thanks so much for sharing your success story.
@@dradamfields merci à vous j'attends avec impatience votre prochain vidéo pour soulager mes ATM💜
Adam, this is terrific - but is there any chance you could do a version without the distracting music so we can concentrate on your voice please?
Good feedback, Nicki. I've wondered whether the music was good or not. I'll lower it or eliminate it in the next video
