Treating the TMJ

In this video Erik Dalton demonstrates Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques®️ for releasing the jaw with gentle massage techniques to the masseter, temporals and mandible. He follows up by demonstrating a very simple technique that has shown to be most effective in treating TMJ tightness, locking of the jaw, headaches and jaw pain. It's a very basic technique. First, make sure the client has all their teeth by asking them during history intake. Of course, ask for their permission to work inside their mouth. Observe the grip with both hands Erik has on the client's head and the position of the body that allows for the correct motion technique to pull on the lower mandible. You really need to understand and feel the barrier concept here to truly know what is happening with the client's body as to maneuver these techniques for release. Watch and pay attention to when the jaw releases and then you let this be an indirect technique - allowing the jaw to find its full range of motion, naturally.

This massage treatment will release tension in the jaw, alleviate headaches, and improve overall jaw function. This technique is highly effective for treating TMJ tightness, jaw locking, and related discomfort. Erik emphasizes the importance of understanding the barrier concept and allowing the jaw to find its natural range of motion during treatment.

❗❗Disclaimer: ❗❗You need to make sure that your state allows for working inside the client's mouth, so make sure to check with your state what is allowed and make sure to have some medical supervision as you are learning the technique!
