physical therapist on the Internet
hi I'm Bob Shrum physical therapist and
Brad honey physical therapist together
we have the most famous physical
therapist on the internet I think you're
Mike's working Bob enthusiasm come on
dad okay today we're going to go over
the best TMJ treatment you can do
yourself now there's a lot of treatments
that can be done but this is the best
one you can do yourself
TMJ temporal mandibular or well actually
you could call it TMJ the mouth joint no
temporal mandibular joint right and it's
actually temporal mandibular disorders
right the joint is alas poor York I knew
him Horatio that's a little culture he
ran with all right Brad the joint is
right here okay right there yeah you
don't have your pointer today or do you
oh yeah okay well at the point right
where it is and now I'm going to
actually pull this pull this off focuses
any the joint there got it Lonnie
dislocated and together yeah
all right now when you're having TMJ
problems it's either that joint that's
giving you trouble or the muscles around
the joint the ones I make it function
yep the ones that close the jaw the one
is the masseter which is right here and
the other one is the temporalis and this
is actually a good picture yeah I hold
that together right so masseter and
temper Alison you might want to look at
the fibers of that how the fibers are
running because when we're going to be
showing you how to do your own massage
to these and you want to go across the
fibers at one point we're going to show
you how to make circular massage across
the fibers looks like one of those fans
you know it doesn't look like that
Japanese fan anything so all right let's
go on start Brad very good you're going
to go ahead and do the massage yeah so
this is you're going to have pain here
maybe problems opening and closing your
jaws with that and you can have tension
a lot of times people are grinding their
teeth at night share our bruxism the
only guy wake up you have little bits of
teeth in your mouth no okay all right so
uh and you make a lot of times people
get ear your aches and I think that it's
ear infection even
so and it's from the joint poppin joint
you know clicking making noises
headaches
Sharyl assault alright first we're going
to start off with is almost more of a
myofascial technique Brad so you're
going to put your hands and your fingers
should have enough oil on it circles
that you don't really need to use any
oil you can start on the bottom of the
masseter here you're going to push in
and then while you're pushing in you're
just going to let it roll up towards the
top so you should be raising on the
muscle right on the mandible here on the
jaw and going right up yeah that feels
good if you're eating chicken you'll
have plenty of grease on your fingers to
do this alright and then now we're going
to go up into the temporalis Brad yep
the same thing you're just going to push
in and push up feels good
yep this is a good order for everybody
even if you were having heads yeah you'd
be good for headaches get those that
pain your headaches yeah this is one of
those treatments that you really can't
go wrong right yeah if it doesn't help
your your pain here right there's
nothing helpful right there's no nothing
good about this
alright the next one Brad just going to
go ahead and using these three
fingertips going to go right straight
down like this and again don't get into
your cheek we're out we're back here
unless we remember its back yeah the
zygomatic arch wasn't that where you go
from you're netting mm-hmm so okay the
same with this one you're going to just
push up Brad then okay you can feel you
know what to get used to that feeling
underneath the skin where you're on the
muscle you should be able to go right do
this all right the next one you're gonna
do Brad is you're actually gonna do
circles now now you can do it with the
three fingertips you can do it with your
knuckles okay you're going to go like
this across the muscle like this making
circles going across the muscle remember
we're trying to go across those fibers
you know the fibers were going across
them across when you go up here and hit
those a beer across the fibers you seen
any of this Lonnie I like this but
actually this is a really relaxed very
silly okay alright the last set that
you're going to do Brad is you're
actually going to hold open your jaw and
then you can do the same massage it you
can
a circle I can't understand you Bob so
actually ever can
so you actually hold it'll open is it
jaws be loosened yeah so you're trying
to keep the muscles relaxed ha I'll car
that's that's different definitely
different and then you're going to also
work it up in the temporalis hair I tell
you going through our idea no seriously
this can actually help you can do 30 to
60 seconds
II tried um we can do them together
obviously sure 32 seconds 30 to 60
seconds on each muscle and you could
even do this a couple times a day Brad
this is sure nothing negative about
doing it right I think if you get
positive results right do it as need now
we're also going to do another video on
the top three exercises you should do
now these exercises are not going to
give you immediate relief by any means
they're for the long haul they're trying
to prevent these muscles from giving you
trouble in the future there's a whole
bunch of things about TMJ sure that come
into play and those exercises can help
you so when I get that one down I'm
gonna link it to this one okay that is
it at the end so alright thanks for
watching excellent
you
