This Keeps You TENSE (NO ONE Talks About It)

[@anniebrown4335]

That’s kinda cool didn’t know that there were health benefits to making a fish face one horse noise. Fun! Kinda marking me laugh too:)

[@emilysha418]

So excited to try these. I was searching for support for TMJ/chronic daily headaches/neck pain just yesterday!

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Happy to deliver!

[@imporylem]

Great stuff. I have so much cranial tension along my face and my neck. It relieves throughout the day with my exercises and have been getting better. Doing these exercises right now with my coffee felt good.

[@ZacCupplesPT]

So awesome to hear!

[@huangtingwei4325]

Thanks Zac, awesome exercises!

Tinnitus and lock jaw😢... thanks

Hey Zac, have you ever tried initiating a "lazy roll", or "foam roller reach" whilst being in side lying foam roller decompression? Curious on your thoughts. :)

[@mehdidata7809]

the perfect video at the perfect time, each time i slightly touch a muscle in my face, i feel that a tension goes away and goes right back after a remove my finger, it's maybe a sign of facial muscle imbalance. i have a question Zac, when i get a specific facial muscle to relax, i feel that a muscle in my pelvis gets also relaxed, especially lower parts of my glutes, is there any connexion knowing that i had swayback posture recently ? Thank u

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Then yeah. It’s wise to learn some movement skills in the face. Can be helpful. If you get other muscles systemically to relax, it’s not a bad thing. It’s all one piece

[@flochfitness]

Great, now my wife is going to be fuming at all the weird sounds I’m making

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Hahahaah I hope so

[@RJK14549]

Hey Zac! For the cheek blowing exercise, should the tongue be up on the roof of the mouth?

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Doesn’t have to be!

[@neinbruderja7519]

Full Clip! Do you wanna mess with this? Zac-starr, 1 of the best yet.

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Boom!!! You know my steez 😉

[@kristinlie997]

This is what they sell as face yoga to reduse wrinkles ✌️🥰🍀

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Hahaha maybe there’s something to it!

[@beckaflynn1128]

nice one Zac you make those exercises look so easy when they're not! Do you have any tips for when you feel your head and neck is torqued to one side but its coming from the myofascial lines lower down in the guts and not necessarily from any fascial or cranial issues?

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Great to hear from you and glad you like the vid! The best bet is to assess where you are limited and intervene at those areas

[@beckaflynn1128]

@@ZacCupplesPT Thanks Zac, I been here commenting on previous vids but you must be too busy to catch em but its all all good, bump up the algorithms fo sho! I hear you about the limited areas. But I'l keep an eye out for your future vids on what to do in cases of stuff like hernias, diaphragm eventuation or even a colon that seems to have narrowed etc. You got your work cut out for you now haha.

[@shagybagy318]

Hi zacc, during inhale my neck gets loose but during exhale i can feelcit tenses, it is ok if i fo a really slow and short exhale ( i realised that i cant exhale much because my neck goes forward, so i cant take big inhale but rly short exhale without changing my head position) , did you ever encountered something like that

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Yes. Slow, soft, and not all out. That's how I've been coaching this stuff mostly at this point.

[@moreskeptical-ro9ph]

#4 is not a kissy face. It’s a fish face!

[@sagargour3534]

A quick question does the neck whole stays up on roof or only the side of tongue and the middle tongie stays down

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Ideally you want the whole roof covered

[@andrewwilkins3014]

Will this have much benefit if my tongue is tied? Grade 3 by my estimation

[@ZacCupplesPT]

It may. Even if you don’t get mobility changes, you would need to gain the motions prior to surgery if you opted to go that route

[@andrewwilkins3014]

@@ZacCupplesPT appreciate you taking the time to always get back! Thanks I will give them a shot, along with some of the tongue stuff and then consider the surgery
