The amount of money I’d pay to get a session like this from Dr. Russ is outrageous

The Bob Ross of the chiropractor World. Efficient and relaxing

Only chiro I know of that takes the time, with the expertise, to relax muscles prior to adjustments. A lot of respect for his technique and discipline.

This video is incredibly relaxing. The calm tone and demeanor is excellent. I also appreciate how you explain everything you’re doing and why it’s important. Great job!

This guy is BRILLIANT! His relaxed demeanor sort of hides (or comes from?) his efficiency. Care looks comprehensive and considerate. This is really impressive.

I think ol' Bob Ross would definitely be proud of your videos!!!

this is so calming, i’m finding myself falling asleep! wow i am so glad i found this channel-i love how he’s explaining everything and it’s nice to see him massage the patients before… instead of just popping and moving their bones and joints

Illustrations of areas as they are worked is a great addition!

Great job. Thank you for taking the time and patience to deliver this therapeutic work to your client. I’m sure they feel immensely better. The clients that I work with are always so happy to get this important work. 🙌🏽

Absolutely brilliant, gentle and holistic approach to musculoskeletal treatment. Amazing doc.

I also like that there are no forceful or aggressive movements in this technique, contrasting high velocity chiropractic approach.

Looks so relaxing. I would fall asleep. Great job!

This was extremely relaxing. I miss being able to have adjustments done. I separated some vertebrae in my neck a number of years ago and am quite frankly pretty nervous about it. This is definitely the next best thing. Thank you

It’s the way you educate your audience while carefully working on your patients that is so relaxing! We appreciate you Doc!

Great explanations with anatomical reference points and therapeutic massage technique. I found the synchronized breathing and fascia release movements very soothing. Thank you!

Dr. Russm your voice is so relaxing :) as somebody with TMJ problems, this gives me hope that it can be helped

Awesome work doctor, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Nice to see you back making videos!

WOW!! Just saw this, fantastic info. I have had TMJ issues since my teens. Wish there was a clinic with the knowledge, expertise and patience for treatment. Great job sir…..

Dr. Russ!! I can't believe I just found your channel, this was such a great video! Currently in the UWS DC program, so greetings from Portland as well! Can't wait to watch more of your videos!

Glad you're back Dr. Russ! 😀

Wow I am impressed!!! Fantastic work! Your explanation, direction, expertise, gentleness and calmness is perfect!!!!

Thank you for this, felt relaxed immediately

Thanks so much. I did a little on myself I’ve been so miserable. Noticed such a difference right away-even though I know I’m not skilled like you I’m appreciative. ❤

You have no idea how excited it makes me when u upload a new patient video 😁🤗

THE GOAT IS BACK!!!!!

I can’t even express how great you are. Kind regards from Germany

Hell yeah, this is awesome!!! I learned these intra-oral techniques in a Neuromuscular Therapy seminar I took for the cervical region, but I’ve never really used them. I work in a spa, but also with a PT who is an acupuncturist as well. I could probably start doing it there, since I still have the course manual. This is super relaxing as always!! Thank you for this! It’s good to see it.

I could watch this all day

Finally understanding my headaches. This is exactly where all my headache pain is!!!

What wonderful release. I suffer from TMJ. I need this kind of help.

I am relaxed just by watching this, thank you

I love your videos. They are amazing and professional. Having overwhelmed nervous system and now working in fight/flight mode - I have foung Fascia treatment and exercises - so effective for me. Thank you David for your opened and full of Awarness job . Moreover massage are my Soul's calling. and now i feel ready to start this journey 💓

I wonder if this is really helpful for the patient because you're explaining in detail what you're doing. As a patient I would love that

Tobias Funke became a chiro? In all seriousness, great video. I desperately need this treatment

I just found your channel and this was a fascinating bit of info. I'm a bodyworker primarily doing gentle touch modalities, and neck and head work is something almost everyone needs but very few therapists have the knowledge and touch to work intraoral with such finesse. I'll definitely be back!

👍 Good Doctor and teacher. TMJ problems are difficult .

The King Returns!

This looks absolutely great against my headaches and jaw pain. So relaxing yo see also. Fantastic job, thanks for sharing!

Great video Dr! Keep up your great work and hopefully more videos to come..Also I just subscribed to your channel Respect from Upland, California.

Wow. An unbelievable amount to be learned here. Fantastic!

I wish you were in the UK. This looks super relaxing and you know what you are doing. Fantastic job. I’m trying not to fall asleep whilst watching the video and listening to your voice.

The first part is a nice alternative to the “Matt” video that is no longer with us. Very soothing.

Very nice, cool stuff

Elite video 👏

You have a very soothing presence!

Great video! Very gentle & informative. Also helped get me sleepy for bed. Thanks for the video!

That reminds me on dr. Gill‘s video, very professional

I'm entranced. The stimulation of these calm, big words in my ears and close subtle sounds is making me melt and turn into jelly in the best sense possible! 😮🫠

Wonderful!

Well done

I thought for the longest time that you had quit youtube. Then I find that that isn't true. I am so damn happy.

As a former dental hygienist, this was interesting. Wish I was laying there in her place!

Thank you for this video!😊 I have TMJ. It has caused me to have vertigo and the pain has also spread to my ears, neck, shoulders etc. I have a night guard but it only helps a little. I really don’t want to have surgery

Great ASMR vibe…

Amazing video, Doc! I’m hoping to see some trap / scapula work soon. ;)

I suffer from Fibromyalgia, Chronic pain, RA and Sjögren's syndrome ....Some people think Sjögren's syndrome is just dry eyes and mouth but mine is affecting my joints and muscles and so on ........ So I am always in pain and I want to thank you 😊 ❤️ your videos ASMR have helpede sleep 😴 rest I get so relaxed hearing you explain what your doing and your massages .....So thank you I appreciate your videos 💟

Thank You

You are the perfect Trifecta: ASMR + Chiropractic/Massage & Anatomy/Physiology

I would love one of these massages I’m having a tmj flare up it sucks horribly

Rene is awesome!

#ASMR heavenly voice and video ❤❤

You are so beautifull Soul ❤. There is Love and Peace inside your Being and I am so grateful to Awarness that It has led me to you 💙🙏

I also have TMJ from having my wisdom teeth removed :( it doesn’t bother me much anymore, only when eating kind of, which kinda sucks. But this looks so relaxing!

I used to see a lady who did very similar massage work on these same areas and it was a God send. I've been trying to find someone with similar expertise in my area, and I'm curious if there is something specific to look for that might help me?

I need an appointment! Big time

Dr Russ- just found you! I have these exact problems. I would love to come for an appointment. How do I find out where your practice is located?

This… this is da best guy

It’s fascinating to see massage therapists and other related practitioners/doctors work on releasing tense muscles, I wonder if it’s anything like a swordsmith working impurities out of metal, mixed with a ceramicist molding imperfections out of their clay?

The patients are probably excited for his appointments.

Im having really bad TMJ issues. Nothing is helping the pain. Lower teeth hurt, ear hurts, head hurts and even my neck and I also feel it in my collar bone area. And the jaw joint area is so sensitive it’s a really bad flairup. Do you know anyone in FL that works on this that is reputable? I had to have one oral surgery situation and they thought maybe the disc in my jaw joint was out of place but it didn’t do anything to fix it. They are wanting to go in again and remove any bone pieces that could be causing clicking and such. I feel like I just need someone to do what you just did in this video. I can’t imagine how wonderful that patient must have felt after that.

I just got home from work; AND AS SOMEONE WHO HAS RHUMETOID arthritis, scoliosis, chronic pain and migraines (due to everything being unaligned); THIS IS MAKING ME FEEL SO RELAXED!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING WORK, DILIGENCE AND PATIENCE!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! 💯 💯 💯

i’d kill to have this done. my muscles are so tight right now, my tmj is so bad

Nice to see a chiro do massage work and even more so advanced techniques w myofascial

Gosh, I wish you were in Austin, TX.

Some dentist are great some are trash. I wish you the best healing possible

wish I had a chiro like this in NYC 😢

I love this type of massage! I wish I could get it weekly 😂 I have so many issues with my jaw and have been looking for a good cure for over 20 years now. Botox helps but the real answer for me is surgery but surgeons won’t do it because I’m not in any pain, just discomfort…so I’m left with frequent Botox and massage. My SCMs are always sore and my pterygoids - I always need them firmly massaged and released. My masseters are nice and mobile with the Botox.

Oh my. I want this sooooooo much.

Honest question, as I haven’t visited any type of medical. Does one go to any chiropractor for this, or is it necessary for a specialist, if there is one? Seriously bad clicking of my left jaw.

You are describing and treating the problems I'm experiencing. Where are you located?

Would something like this help tinnitus? I have the kind that gets louder when clenching my teeth.

I know everyone watching this video put their finger inside their mouths because i did 😂 amazing video! A lot of interesting info

Doc, I'm curious if you have any thoughts on an issue I've long suffered with and have thought might have been TMD or trigeminal neuralgia but doesn't really seem to fit either quite right. It's a pain that usually starts out feeling like a tooth ache, and sometimes flossing/brushing/rinsing does actually help alleviate it, but I've had a dentist check out the area and there's no current tooth problems there. Anyway, it's easily ignored at that stage, but then it spreads gradually up past my temples up to the top and front of my head (all on the one side), as well as down my neck and shoulder and upper back, and sometimes (self-)adjusting my upper cervical or cervicothoracic areas can help alleviate it. Meanwhile my ear and sinuses on that side start to feel congested too, and sometimes blowing my nose, a hot shower, spicy food, or laying down in one position or another, can feel like it helps drain that out and alleviate the pain too. Toward the end of the process, usually after a long day of this gradually feeling worse, my bowels feel unwell too, and sometimes eating will make me feel nauseous, though throwing up then might make it feel better, or sometimes eating (probably varying by type of food) instead makes me need to poop, and a nice big poop makes me feel better. Even that, though, feels like it might just be biomechanically related to the lower lumbar or sacroiliac area. When its at it's worst, I'm completely incapacitated by it, and often such times, laying down and stretching and just zoning out from the world and letting my body move how it wants to is the only thing that really helps, feeling like it drains the sinuses, relaxes and repositions the joints in the neck/shoulder/back, and lets my bowels get moving; I'll often get up from that, take a nice big poop, blow my nose, and feel all better, either late at night or the next morning. This has been happening on and off for decades with varying frequency. At one point it was almost a regular occurrence every week, usually the first weekday, which lead to me nicknaming it "the Mondays" for lack of a better term. My current best hypothesis is that the cause begins with constipation (which is maybe why it used to be a Monday thing, after a weekend of eating bigger and stranger meals than my normal weekday diet), that then causes inflammation throughout my body, and a chronic upper cervical or TMJ dysfunction then blocks drainage through that one eustachian tube, causing pressure buildup in those sinuses on that one side of my head, and then referred pain down the neck, shoulder, and upper back. But I'm curious if you've ever heard of something quite like this and maybe know of a name for it.

You know, I've always had this doubt but what are the sort of situations where I can tell myself that I should visit a chiro and not a GP for an issue I might have. I'm just genuinely curious because I've wanted to visit a chiropractor when I get some time. Also if it's just for relaxation, then what advantages does a chiro have over a massage therapist?

Hello, do you beleive that releasing the muscles helps to make the body more receptive to adjustments

Would you happen to have any recommendations for anyone on Las Vegas?

If those muscles are tight and inflamed often can it cause hair loss? My hair has been falling out like crazy since I was diagnosed w tmj

Where are you from? I definitely have some TNJ issues sadly

Is it normal to hear a gravelly sound in the back of the neck when turning your head?

it feels like he's doing this to me!

I'm actually going to visit the US so I can see the great Dr Russ.

Where are you located Dr. Russ?

unbelievable

Is there someone in NY that practices these techniques? Any suggestions?

I'd like to submit "...Portland" for approval to the lexicon of ASMR videos so it made reside along the classics like "sandwich breath, loose and floppy and putapitofpaper"

I have a question: How does a patient go about asking for treatment like this? I need something like this for my TMJ so badly but don’t know what or who or where to ask! I’m thinking of just sending a link to the video and saying “this please”😂

So about seven years ago I was in a car crash. I’ve had lots of general neck pain since, and four years ago I started having chronic shoulder pain, where my shoulders would just randomly pop out of socket and I’d need to get my sister to put them back into place. It’s part of the reason I stopped swimming competitively. And within the past two years I’ve started experiencing problems with my hips where they do the same thing, which is super painful and impacts my mobility. Over the years I’ve seen a couple of different chiropractors, but I haven’t kept up with any of them because of the lack of change. It was very disheartening. (Especially because of how young I am. I was told that I wouldn’t have problems like this until I was sixty at least, but here I am at 19 complaining about hip pain!) But last week I went to a chiropractor who specialized in this kind of massage therapy, and he was actually able to change things!! We’ve only had one session so far (lots of muscle tests where I tested embarrassingly low lol) but he was actually able to change things. Apparently some of my muscles were actually ‘turned off’ and not receiving signals to move, putting stress on smaller muscles that aren’t meant to support all that extra weight. In one thirty minute session he was able to improve problems that years of chiropractors haven’t been able to touch.

Oh my gosh. I need this so bad. Horrible neck and TMJ. I need an appt asap lol

As a proponent of being gentle on the neck, what are your thoughts about the so-called “ring-dinger” and y-strap so many of your colleagues on KZfaq use?
