The deep neck flexor exercise really helps with the pain. Thank you so much.

[@RehabScience]

It’s often helpful to strengthen the neck when treating jaw pain.

[@tressella]

Thanks for keeping it "bite-sized:" Easy to understand, remember and do.

[@RehabScience]

No problem! I’m glad my videos have been helpful to you.

[@sachaowens3827]

such a good video. i’m having issues with my jaw atm. it flares every now and again, but this flare is really bad as can’t open my mouth very wide or chew food. video 1 is the best one for me. that muscle for me is massively swollen. definitely best video on line.

[@RehabScience]

I'm so glad to hear that the video was helpful!

[@JasminsBoss]

Make a lot of sense. I always think my neck trigger the TMJ issue.

[@RehabScience]

There’s a lot of research connecting the neck and TMJ.

[@michelledeehorticultrist]

I have had tmj issues since I was 14. I'm now 35 and have noticed it has gotten worse over the past couple of years. Thanks you so much for this video!

[@RehabScience]

Does your TMJ causing any ring or Tinnitus in your ears? Thank you.

[@lidiadiali]

​@@majidkashani6881thats because of the inflammation in the tmj.

[@diauser3327]

@@majidkashani6881 seems yes, i have TMJ since 20+ yrs and recently last year tinnitus too, after wisdom tooth removal, TMJ got worse too,

[@SaLvAdOriaN127]

@@majidkashani6881I’ve been told it does, however, it’s a case by case basis. It could be caused by inner ear balance, neurological or something else.

[@marybernstein6498]

Thank you this was helpful. It just came on me suddenly the pain today.

[@RehabScience]

I’m glad the video was helpful and hope the exercises reduce your pain!

[@Angie33084]

Wow! I just tried to do the neck flexor exercise and I could only hold it for 10 seconds. I sit all day and you are so right about the posture. I’m always in a bad position. I’m going to try all of these, thank you!

[@RehabScience]

It's a tough exercise when you aren't use to training your neck muscles! I hope you find these exercises to be helpful!

Hi Tom how often should you do this

[@paulsmajlaj7237]

Hello hi I have problem with TMJ for five years and that’s really give me pain and one side. Can you tell me what they should do? I really appreciate if you get back to me.

[@timelines00]

[@SKYTIME-qk3yj]

Solution after see kick boxsing and you can't tell me what super solution

[@casta9172]

Thanks so much ❤ I was hurting all day,, and now it feels like numb in the area lol wow cool 😎

[@brentbarajas]

How many reps on the nexk flexor would you recommend?

[@fredcrook2476]

I have bad ear ache on right side. Feels like a knife stabbing in my ear. I did start wearing a moth guard at night time a couple of weeks ago. What do you recommend?? Thanks

[@Alexandra_Wolf]

Have you seen people who have a change in their facial structure with severe tmj? I notice without Botox in my masseter my face ages and my lip corners are pulled down and heavier marionette lines and nasiolabial folds as well. And do you know people who needed surgery on the jaw or dental due to tmj? What is that called?

[@csell871]

Question on the deep neck flexor strengthen, if you do that often is there a chance that can actually create a reverse curve of the neck? I understand it being stretched if you have forward head posture but I wonder if you don't have forward head posture if that exercise could be harmful?

[@RehabScience]

No, that exercise won’t change the curvature of your neck. It will simply improve strength of the neck flexors.

[@shahzadkhan3871]

How can we strengthen temporalis muscle using resistance whether we use our hands as resistance

[@RehabScience]

You can apply downward pressure to the chin and then slowly open and close the jaw to strengthen the temporalis and masseter.

[@skwarrawks8711]

Hey Tom, I have a constantly cracking TMJ joint and this lead to unfortunate gum retractions near my teeth due to improper bite mechanics and force loading. Is there any way that TMJ exercises can cause soft/hard tissue changes that would better help re-align the jaw and redistribute forces?

[@RehabScience]

Yes, in some cases, manual therapy and specific therapeutic exercises can help improve jaw, mechanics and alignment. If you can find a physical therapist who specializes in TMJ care, they can help design a program.

[@Alexandra_Wolf]

I HAVE THE SAME! I've had maxo facial guys so I should have surgery

[@2012daffyduck]

I wiggle by pinkie finger between 30-40 seconds which really helps with the TMJ

[@TayThames]

Are there standing variations or alternatives for strengthing the deep neck flexors? Thx!

[@meegy2]

Yes, my pt told me to lay flat and push my head into the ground (on a soft surface), also do the double chin and look down like nodding. I don't think I should do the head lift bc then the muscles on the side of my neck start flexing and my pt said he wants those muscles to stop compensating for the others

[@mix_tube7062]

I got punched in the face and now my jaw muscle on the left side of face hurts . Is it temporary or not ???

Great video, helps a bit so far but too early to say. My jaw pain/tension has built up over the course of a month or so and now its really bad, my faceshape has changed (to square shaped) and my cheeks and jaws are all swollen! Will my face go back to normal or am i cursed to look like a deformed version of myself forever? Please answer... I also have numbness and a very strange sensation in my cheeks. Never experienced it this bad before, i'm a bit scared.

[@RehabScience]

Yes, things can definitely return back to normal, but I would recommend seeing a physical therapist in your area who specializes in TMJ care.

[@erasedshallbehisname5100]

@@RehabScience Thank you, i will look into it and hopefully i can get some help.

[@majidkashani6881]

I have exactly your symptoms, it's been three weeks that I realised my face is changing the same as yours. I hope we both and others who have the same problem, get better. That sensation is sometimes terrifies me, like someone punched me badly. Many thanks for sharing your problem.
