Exercising and TMJD - Priya Mistry, DDS (the TMJ doc)

- Hello Friends! This video is about exercising and TMJD. If you're suffering from TMJD, you may be wondering how to adjust your exercise routine or if exercising is even recommended. In this video, I go over in detail exactly what I tell my patients regarding exercise and TMJD.
Because the neck and the jaw are intimately related and because many of us involuntarily recruit neck muscles during certain exercises, it will likely be useful to check out my video "Neck Pain and TMJD", which I have linked here:
• Neck Pain & TMJD - Pri...
I didn't mention it in the video, but ab/core exercises that involve lifting he head can also involuntarily recruit neck muscles, which can negatively impact TMJD. So please be careful when exercising your core!
Also be careful with Yoga as some poses can strain the neck. A watcher made me aware of this with the following information:
“I am a former yoga instructor & yoga caused my extreme TMJD. Please be aware that poses involving hyperflexions of the neck or cranial cervical pressure/tension (arm balances, inversions, backbends, and more) can cause/contribute to TMJD.”

This channel is all about TMJ disorders - what they are, how they manifest, what to do about them and how they relate to other issues that may be going unnoticed in the body such as tongue tie, sleep apnea, ADHD, and more! Thank you and I hope you enjoy my videos!
I lift weights and do my cardio and I find that my trip to the gym gets my blood flowing and presents a good opportunity to do my stretches specifically related to my jaw, and also work on posture at the end of my workout. Just throwing my experience into the world. Thanks for the videos!
Thanks and you’re welcome for the videos! Please be sure to Subscribe!
Thank you Dr. Priya Mistry for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I was diagnosed with TMJ at least 20 yrs ago due to a wisdom tooth surgery I had in which all 4 wisdom teeth were removed at once. The wisdom tooth that was removed from the lower right portion of my mouth was huge. I was seeing a TMJ specialist which did help me a lot. Unfortunately they retired 10 years ago. My symptoms have resurfaced as well and while I will be seeing a specialist (too bad it's not you because I do not live in your area), I have found your videos on home treatments (i.e. exercises for your jaw, checking your bite position to make sure you are not clenching, etc.) to be most helpful.
I’m glad the videos have helped!
I lift weights using dumbbells. A week ago I was diagnosed with TMJ disorder. Now, Im looking for videos that have ways to do body exercises even if living with this kind of disorder. I saw your video and glad to try 😢 . I hope i can still do exercises coz its life for me.
Best of luck to you!
I find regular daily pilates makes me feel SO much better and is instant pain relief for my TMD. I also agree with jogging, and swimming is amazing. High intensity workouts make me feel horrible. It adds more stress with flares up my TMD. Exercise is so important for me in managing my symptoms. I also bought a hot tub and sit in it daily and that was a game changer in how my muscles feel in my neck and jaw!
I’m so glad to hear you found a great routine that works for you!! 😊
@@theTMJdoc I should also add when I do Pilates I wear my orthotic. It seems to keep my jaw more stable when I’m doing certain pilates moves and keeps me more relaxed. I also wear it when walking or light jogging.
@@ashleynerpio8434 oh good I’m so glad to hear that!
Wish you would he located in Vancouver, BC instead Vancouver, Washington.
I'm suffering TMJ issue and been watching lot of your videos to be self aware. It took me entire life to figure out why it happened in the last til now.
I saw an oral surgeon last week regarding TMJ issue and was expecting to get some more details in person but only got prescribed a pain killer and muscle relaxant.
Have been suggested to have MRI scan but in the meantime taking physio therapy for TMJ pain and it helped a bit.
I have also bought neck heat pad which you mentioned in one of your video and hope it will help more to relax neck & TMJ muscles.
Keep your amazing work. Thank you
Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you for these tips Dr Priya ☺️🙏🏼
You’re welcome!
Regarding broad recommendations of "Yoga": I am a former yoga instructor & yoga caused my extreme TMJD. Please be aware that poses involving hyperflexions of the neck or cranial cervical pressure/tension (arm balances, inversions, backbends, and more) can cause/contribute to TMJD/CMD.
Thank you for this information! I already added it to the description box for this video and if I make another exercise & tmjd video I will be sure to include the info you provided 😊
Really really interesting. I'm trying to observe as much as i can about my TMD situation. I clench a lot at night and have a lot of tension in my jaw muscles as a result. I absolutely don't clench during the day, but at work when i lift something heavy or use a lot of force to do something like undo a bolt, i feel all this tension in the jaw/head/face. Obviously its the muscles working together, but i had been wondering if it was part of my problem and if i was unnaturally using those muscle groups together. I have since come to other more probable conclusions seeing your videos. Very helpful video.
Thanks and glad to help!
Good informational Video on Excercising and TMJD.
Thanks Dr. Priya for sharing it with us.
Thank you!! 😊
My TMD got so bad that I developed tinnitus and I still continued powerlifting. I'm talking extremely heavy weight, including lots of upper back and shoulder work. It definitely tightens up the neck muscles but I refuse to let jaw pain and ringing ears keep me from living my life normally. Neck and jaw stretches, massage gun, hot and cold compresses and a mouth-guard at night keep it in check for the most part, but I've kinda just accepted that I'm going to live with this for the rest of my life.
I don't think we should let our disorders get in the way of life if we can do things to offset the negative effects. Yes, it's an inconvenience and doing these things takes up a lot of time, but at the end of the day I would rather be able to move around easily and be fairly strong and healthy in my old age. If the price for that is jaw pain, discomfort, and horrible tinnitus then I guess it is what it is.
Best of luck to you!
I am suffering from left jaw,neck and eye pain since 3 years. I have eye pain all day everyday and I believe it’s because of TMJ. I tried orthotics but didn’t help me with any of these pains. Thank you so much for your videos on jaw exercises😊. I wish your office is in NC. I can’t sleep on my left side not even for a minute. Could you please do a video how to handle this pain during pregnancy as sleeping on left side is suggested by doctors during pregnancy which is impossible for me.
Can you get an orthotic? That will likely help with pain.
@@theTMJdoc Thanks for replying, I appreciate. As I said I tried orthotics but it didn’t help me. With night orthotics I was unable to sleep
Amazing video thank you doctor!!
You’re welcome!!!
Great video !
Could you do a video on sleep position with tmj, pillows type etc ?
Thank you
I don't really have specific recommendations for sleep position or pillows because every individual is so different. Sorry!
I suffer from TMJ for over 10 years now and it's the worst. I just stumbled across your channel and it's great so much information!! I also got Botox injections to help and the first two times it did help. But I recently had another injection of Botox done by a different provider and she totally messed me up. I'm in so much pain 😩
I'm going to see a TMJ Specialist in a week and a half but in the meantime is it ok to use the Plackers mouth guards?
I would never recommend over the counter mouth guards because they often make things worse! Best of luck to you!
My tinnitus started after an intense CrossFit workout which included lifting small weights.. and my ear pain started in a spinning class 2 Days later..... Now almost 3 years later I only do soft Sports and I really like Chi Kung (qui gong), pilates, soft yoga..
How are your tinnitus and ear pain now?
@@theTMJdoc My tinnitus is very mild thank God, it almost always has been except for at the very beginning, when I had a lot of fleeting beeps "Morse code" type of tinnitus, it was so scary. If I press hard right under and behind my left ear, like in between the SCM and mastoid, the tinnitus gets higher. My muscles are so stiff there.. now I think this probably all started because of the extra muscle neck strain doing CrossFit with weights and all that..... Regarding my ear pain, well, not good at all... I developed Secondary Patulous Eustachian Tubes (that causes a lot of ear pain and pain to certain sounds) after getting an endoscopy done 2 months after the tinnitus started. "Secondary" because 2 doctors think it is caused by my muscle tensions.. A few months later my left TMJ started clicking and I started to get terrible teeth pain and Hammer like headaches just on one side, I didn't know what on Earth was going on. No one ever said it was TMD...
then a year after that I had dental work done on 2 lower molars and it totally triggered my TMD!!, I have been in pain for 15 months now (myofascial pain syndrome, pain in my face and cranium especially). I do a lot of specialized TMJ physiotherapy, chirio and myofascial intraoral release that relieves me but again I get absolutely miserable if I eat anything chewy. The dental work must of messed up my bite because the fillings were changed for new ones. In this time I have also found out I have a posterior tongue tie, I tried to get the release but myofunctional therapy totally made me worse: my Eustachian tubes opened up more and I started to get autophony and I could hear myself breathing...!! I know my story sounds crazy but it's the terrible truth. In this time I have trusted two supposedly TMJ expert dentists, but they have been an absolute disaster. I don't trust anyone anymore. Now I am seriously thinking about traveling 6 hours to an institute specialized in craneomandibular disorders and orofacial pain. And in the meantime stick on a soft diet. I am so sick of this and just want to get my life back.
Excellent video topic. I just had to stop working out with dumbbells because of it aggravating my TMJD. Definitely was having a negative effect. The older I get, I am finding that walking is the only safe thing I can do Haha That's okay, I'll take it! It's a lot easier on my entire body with no negative repercussions.
Yes walking is great!!!
When i feel like the jaw tension is out of control i go for a run. After i have been running for a good while, the muscles start to feel like they are 'melting'! It feels great! I can run and massage all day, get rid of my click and when i sleep it'll all come back. Sadly.
Yes, running really helps my neck!
Dr pl make video on posture correction,I have tmj problem ,my ears are clogged because of the same
Please watch this video:

Hi priya , ı start to swimming, and my muscle is more comfortable right now. I have tmj , can swimming help my tmj?
Swimming may help but it can also irritate TMJ/TMD due to the head posture being to the side during certain swimming strokes.
Hi ma'am , how to differentiate wether it is TMJ or neck ( atlas C1 misplaced in neck) or both... ....would normal x ray will help in differentiating?
I would recommend getting evaluated by an upper cervical chiropractor AND a TMJD dentist to sort that out.
Priya maim 4 years back I had a slap on my cheek since then I forgot how to swallow any thing. Since then I am swallowing food incorrectly. My entire mouth has disturbed.
Fluttering sound from both ear
Tinnitus
Excessive salivation
Clicking sound from both ear
Plz help me doctor
I am begging for my normal earlier day 😫😫🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Do you have clinic in India and do you speak hindi
Waiting for your reply 😫😫😪
Sorry to hear you're going through this. I don't have an office in India and I don't speak Hindi. Sorry!
What does this mean: you can never have TMI about TMJ?
TMI = Too Much Information
Hi thanks for all your terrific information, I’m a bit suspicious that my Pilatees triggered my TMJ is this possible ? I tend to go into my neck when not concentrating 😬
Yes it’s possible! There’s probably an underlying neck issue and then I unintentionally involving those neck muscles doesn’t help!
Can i do jaw stretching exercise? Placing fingers on lower teeth to move them downward while closing my mouth upward? Will it cure my limited mouth opening? And is 30mm mouth opening is normal or limited??
I don't feel comfortable making recommendations over the internet and without examining you.
This is a bit of a random question. I have been watching you videos for a bit now trying to distinguish my symptoms. If I am chewing something on my left side... and I bite down hard I almost get like a pulling sensation just below my left eye. Is this common with TMJD? Thank you for all you do!
Hi there! It’s not something I hear frequently but I suppose it’s possible.
Is it possible to do boxing or wrestling with tmj?and wearing a occusal splint (lower) during wrestling practice?
yes and yes!
@@theTMJdoc Wouldnt boxing/kickboxing exarcebate my jaw pain and worsen my condition?THANKS btw!
For the last 2 years I feel pain in the left side of my face and face become uneven, and the left side bone of jaw is getting lower which cause me the pain and sagging of face.
All neurological examinations are clear. How may I get your services/help for the left side face sagging with pain.
You can email patientcare@tmjdentaldoc.com to set up a Zoom Meeting.
Should I use small metal object such as teaspoon? I had a Chronic TMJ Problem in decades!
A teaspoon for what?
@@theTMJdoc for food
Do you know an Arizona dr
I don’t I’m sorry!
Hey, do ab workouts cause tmj?
Often times, ab workouts will involuntarily recruit neck muscles which can exacerbate TMJD.
Could direct exercises to strengthen the neck help at all? Or will it always be negative for tmj? I was thinking of getting one of those head straps to neck left weights.
Also I teach Tae-Kwon Do. When we spar, we bounce and that negatively affects my tmj :(
Sorry to hear that :/
Oh no! I life weights 5 days a week! :'(
Do you find it worsens your tmjd symptoms?
@@theTMJdoc I do often wonder about whether there is any connection. On the other hand, lifting weights is a very effective way for me to de-stress. I have suffered from anxiety all my life. I never even knew I had it. But for years I used to clench my jaw and grind my teeth. The TMJ symptoms first appeared when I was about 26. A clicking jaw was all it was. Then it escalated to twitching in the temporalis muscle and began disrupting my sleep.
I work a desk job and I have become aware of the importance of posture. I have also taken on board all the advice in your video. I feel that it is great to have someone out there who really understand how debilitating this condition can be. I'm doing my best to get it under control. Thank you Doc.
