Time to take care of your TMJ with little to no risk of a flare up. This is a great video for those of you who have myofascial trigger points or have been challenged by other TMJ Exercises. You will learn, and practice, massage for your lateral pterygoid, medial pterygoid and masseter muscles. This can help with jaw pain relief, bruxing relief and even ear issues like tinnitus and eustachian tube dysfunction.
Intra-oral massage is a targeted therapeutic approach that addresses the intricate network of muscles involved in jaw movement, including the masseter, temporalis, lateral pterygoid, and medial pterygoid muscles. These muscles play crucial roles in chewing, speaking, and overall jaw function, making them prime targets for alleviating symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder or TMD. By specifically targeting these muscles through intra-oral massage, therapists can help relieve tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility in individuals experiencing TMJ-related discomfort.
The lateral pterygoid muscle, situated deep within the jaw, is particularly important in controlling the movement of the temporomandibular joint. Dysfunction or tightness in this muscle can contribute to TMJ symptoms such as clicking or popping sounds, as well as difficulty opening or closing the mouth smoothly. Intra-oral massage techniques can effectively address tension and trigger points within the lateral pterygoid, promoting relaxation and restoring optimal function to the TMJ.
Similarly, the medial pterygoid muscle, located on the inner surface of the jaw, works in conjunction with the masseter to facilitate chewing and jaw movement. Tightness or imbalances in the medial pterygoid can result in jaw pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. Through targeted intra-oral massage, therapists can release tension in the medial pterygoid and surrounding tissues, helping to alleviate TMJ symptoms and improve overall jaw function.
The masseter muscle, positioned on the sides of the jaw, is one of the primary muscles involved in chewing and clenching. Excessive tension or overactivity in the masseter can contribute to TMJ pain, headaches, and muscle soreness. Intra-oral massage techniques, including gentle pressure and myofascial release, can effectively address trigger points and muscular tightness in the masseter, promoting relaxation and reducing discomfort associated with TMJ disorder. By targeting the lateral pterygoid, medial pterygoid, and masseter muscles through intra-oral massage, therapists can provide targeted relief for individuals experiencing TMJ-related symptoms, ultimately improving jaw function and overall quality of life.

I just did the exercises from the first three videos. My jaw was stiff and had a clicking sound when opening for many years. I couldn't eat normally. Now, for the first time in a long time, I feel no pain and can open my jaw wide. I feel blessed. And not only the exercises, but also your voice and the words themselves are therapy. From now on, these exercises will become my routine. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with the world :)

I have to say Dr. Fields, I literally cried doing this video with you because of pain .. I am a 61 yr old with an adopted 10 year old boy, taking care of an 89 yr old mother and 93 yr old father. Spending restless nights at my parents away from home, homeschooling, corona virus, hurricane and storm damage... you name it. I put myself last but finally made a ENT appt for stopped up ear, ringing in ears, lately headaches every day. STRESS. Didn't realize how much pain I was in until I did this video with you. What a Godsend. I feel better after doing 3 of your videos tonight, including this one. Your methods are FANTASTIC and so easy to follow, and the very places you work on is where my problem areas are.. I know because it HURTS! I have been praying for relief and God answered. I did not realize TMJ/TMD could cause stopped up ear and ringing. I may not have to go the ear doctor after all. I really, really think this is my problem. I had all kinds of crazy thoughts about what may be wrong with me, but your videos pinpointed where my pain was and I think YOU have diagnosed my problem for me. I can't tell you how GRATEFUL I am that you are providing these videos to help people like me. You are a gift and I LOVE your presentation, your demeanor and the peace I've felt watching you. THANKS so much! May God bless you and your family abundantly! BTW... will definitely be watching your neck exercise series! GOD BLESS YOU!

I started going thru your playlist for TMJ & Sleep Apnea recently. Love all of them, but I saw this one for the first time today and it was a big hit for me in particular. Big THANK YOU! I've had some holistic dentists recommend releasing the same muscles you talk about here, but that never became a daily practice, so it's about time to make it so. I appreciate your understanding of the anatomy (instructions to show exact location like the pterigoids are super helpful), the mind-body connection and importance of forgiveness. I'm in the healing space as well and know a really powerful forgiveness method to resolve specific events from our past. As you probably already know, memories from our past get lodged in our tissues, so I see forgiveness work as a great complement to the biomechanics work we're doing in your videos. It's when we resolve those specific events that our healing process makes a breakthrough. I've had my biomechanical habits shift immediately many times. Happy to share more via PM if interested. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge & energy with us. Much love.

So, I've been suffering from TMJ related pain that's progressively gotten worse for years, to the point that ENT docs were calling it possible Menieres, an MS flare (I have that and other autoimmune issues), eustachian tube dysfunction, and more. I was having disorienting episodes where my hearing would be muted, sometimes whooshing, ringing in both ears. I haven't had my hearing go muted since I started doing these exercises, and I'm just realizing how much I'm clenching my jaw. Covid really has stressed me into new levels of illness. For real. Thank you so much. As a chronic illness lifer, every little bit of inflammation and pain I can reduce makes my life exponentially more bearable. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Suffering for weeks with pain, then the lymph node under my jaw, and the one down by my ear lobe got puffy. Been to the doctor 4x in 3 months. Never said it could be TMJ. But just a few days ago the pain went to the other side as well, then that side was popping when I woke up. Then the headaches in the morning and soreness and tightness all around my neck. This is my second day doing these exercises… and doing them 3x a day. So glad I found this doc and these videos!
