@drjoedamiani: 🔥 Jaw pain? Share this with the friend or partner who you’re gonna make release your Masseter! Overworked chewing muscles—especially the masseter—can develop trigger points that refer pain into the jaw, teeth, and even the face. Here’s how to get a deeper release... ⚡ The masseter sits farther back than most people think, so location matters. ⚡ Applying pressure to a contracted muscle is difficult because it’s actively resisting you. ⚡ Contracting the muscle first, then relaxing it, allows you to sink into a deeper release. Exercise shown: ✅ 1. Find the masseter Slide your finger along the outside of the lower teeth until you reach the back of the jawbone, then pull outward into the cheek to locate the thick masseter muscle. ✅ 2. Release the muscle Use your fingers and thumb to gently knead and pinch the tender areas until they begin to soften. ✅ 3. Contract → relax Have your partner bite down for 10 seconds, then completely relax. Once the muscle lets go, repeat the release technique for a deeper effect. The goal here is to reduce the tension that’s overloading your jaw so it can move more comfortably. #JawPain #TMJ #Masseter #TMJDisorder #PhysicalTherapy

My right side jaw has been hurting I did this on the right side and the muscle feels large, firm, and tight. Decided to test the left side and I can barely even feel the muscle…it’s so small on that side. 😳
