0:07 “Hello everybody, my name is Dr. Jacobs, I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
I am also the inventor of Advanced Soft Tissue Release.
I am a cancer survivor and I used to suffer from chronic fatigue, migraines, headaches,
and pain before I invented the ASTR specialty.”
0:25 “Alright Emma, tell me what is going on with your jaw.”
“I’ve had like 3 years with jaw pain and I went to different doctors and physical therapists
.”
“So what kind of treatment did you have for your jaw?”
“I’ve had physical therapy, I also had an appliance, and massage.”
1:02 “How did your jaw pain start?
How did you hurt your jaw?”
“I went with my sister and we were on a ride, then something pushed the brakes and
I was like boom.”
“So you had a vehicular accident and you got hit from the side?
The car hit the side and your head hit the window?”
“Yeah”
“Okay, back and forth and that’s been going on for the last 3 years?”
“3 years, yes”
1:30 “And how much would you rate your pain from 0-10, 10 being emergency room.”
“Like 6 or 7”
“Is that constant pain or it comes and goes?”
“Constant pain”
“Do you experience and headache?”
“Yeah, everyday, almost everyday”
“So you have like a constant headache, and where do you feel the headache and how much
from 0-10?”
“I feel my headache here, then it comes down like this, and I feel inflammation here.”
2:00 “And the headache and the jaw pain has been going on for the past 3 years.”
“Yes”
“Okay, any other symptoms in the neck or jaw area?”
“I always touch my neck because it’s tight”
“Okay, so we’re going to work on that too.
Alright so let me actually measure your jaw and take the range of motion.”
2:30 “So you are about 3 centimeters, 30 millimeters, and you said you are losing about
40% of your range of motion in your jaw?”
“Yeah, 40%.”
“Yeah, it’s limited.
The normal range is 35-45 and you are at 30.
We’ll work on that, so let’s turn your head to the right all the way, that’s tight.
Now the other side, that’s tight too.
Now backward, and you tell me how much pain you are in okay.”
3:20 “Where did you feel the pain and how much?
How much from 0-10?”
“6”
“So this is where you had the injury, okay scoot down
a little bit.
Okay let me work on this and just let me know if it is too much.”
3:50 “So let me know if you feel any pain okay?
So you had physical therapy, massage therapy,”
“I went with different doctors and specialists”
“Specialists for what, like a physical therapist?”
“For TMG”
“Like a dentist and did they give you a mouthguard?”
“Yes they gave me an appliance”
4:40 “Make sure that is not aggravating your symptoms.
Is that too much or is that okay?
So you have headache today right?”
“Yeah”
“And it’s here in the temporal area.
5:10 “Where’s the worst point here?”
“Right here”
“Okay let me know if that’s painful okay.”
5:25 “Relax, relax.
Is that painful or is that okay?”
“It’s okay”
5:50 “Alright, how does this feel now, can you tell the difference?”
“Yeah”
“What else?”
“It’s still tight” 6:25 “Okay we’re going to work on breaking
the scar tissue, make sure you are not feeling any pain.”
“Is that painful, do you feel those bumps here?
That is all scar tissue.
I am not really surprised, since you had that accident you have all this scar tissue.”
7:15 “Do you clench your teeth?”
“Yes”
“At night or during the day?”
“During the night”
8:55 “Okay sit up for me and tell me how you feel.”
“I feel good”
“Okay so open your jaw and tell me how you feel.”
“I feel better, only the clicking”
“Only the clicking, but you are opening wider.
Let me work on your neck because it is very tight.”
10:10 “How does it feel here?”
“Good”
“Do you feel relief?”
“Yes”
“Okay same thing on this side.”
“I cannot sleep because of the pain in my arm.”
10:33 “Let me see the range of motion with your arm since you have an arm issue.
Let’s raise this up, how much pain from 0-10?”
“Like 6,7”
“Let’s do the front, how much pain from 0-10?”
“Like 5,6”
11:10 “And you said you had this pain after someone worked on it?”
“Yeah”
“So you had normal range of motion before someone worked on it and they were very aggressive
with the mobilization on your jaw.
So we have a couple of issues here
and we are working on it.
”
12:30 “Okay let’s try your arm again.
Look at that, okay let’s get the side.
Wow, look at this, look at this.
Are you trying to show off here?”
“So we just worked on two spots here that cause the tightness in the shoulder.
Let me do another spot here and see if we can get you more range of motion.”
13:30 “Alright let’s try it again.
Front, almost there.
Let’s do that side, look at that, that’s a full range of motion.
Let’s do the front and tell me where you feel the tightness.”
“Right here”
14:50 “Okay let’s try it again.
Look at that, that’s beautiful.
Now to the side, okay that’s good.
Now open your jaw and tell me how your jaw feels.”
“How’s that?”
“Very good”
“You feel that is your normal range of motion?”
“No”
“Okay where is the tightness when you open your jaw?”
“Right here”
16:08 “Let’s move your neck and see your range of motion.
How’s that?
Then go back and forward.
Where do you feel the tightness, in the back?”
17:00 “Alright let’s move your neck now, back and forth.
How’s that?”
“Better”
“And turn left and right, life your shoulder.
Beautiful, nice.
Okay let’s take your range of motion for your jaw.
Okay, it was 30, it’s now 34 almost 35.
Alright so tell me what you think of ASTR treatment.”
“I can’t believe this, thank you very much”
“And do you still feel the pain or is it gone?”
“No pain, and when I am here, I couldn’t stand the pain.”
“So the neck pain, jaw pain, and shoulder pain is gone?”
“Yes”
