I would think that keeping a bit in the mouth during a therapy can't the help horse.

how to connect, have horse with off set lower jaw, teeth now miss by an inch off to the right EVERY SEE SUCH A THING???

[@Nielasher]

That sounds challenging! Yes, misalignments like this can occur. Connecting with a specialized equine dentist and a therapist trained in equine myofascial release might help address the alignment and comfort for your horse. 🙏

If a horse is tense in the tmj, do you continue to massage the TMJ until the horse gives a release?

[@Nielasher]

We recommend massaging the TMJ area gently and observing the horse's reactions. If the horse shows signs of relaxation, continue. Always ensure the horse is comfortable. 🐴
