Wow, I spent around $2k working with a reputable manual therapist to relieve jaw tension. He and I both gave up on the treatments because they weren’t working. I have been putting up with jaw tension for almost 4 years. Then I stumbled across this video earlier this week and have done 2 sets of 25 circlings in both directions twice a day for the past 6 days. I am getting significant improvement, especially noticeable when I lay down to sleep at night. Thank you for revealing this very strange but effective exercise.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sometimes it’s the weirdest things that work the best!!
FANTASTIC! So glad it was helpful for you. Well done. Thank you for sharing
I could never imagine anyone doing such a video as this. I did the 25 circles each side and it feels like my upper jaw muscles went to the gym. My face hurts from my jowls to just below my eyes. I never imagined so many muscles in the face are involved in this. I can feel that this is like a natural facelift. Fantastic video excellent data thank you so much, best wishes
Yep wow definitely a workout
Wow what a interesting workout
😅❤Love it.
It's crazy huh? I did this shtuff as a kid cuz I was a weird one. The jaw gets sore but when you can open it and your jaw cracks, your shoulder core muscles sink in and stability comes from the feet and hips... it's incredible
Edit: I should say it's been a few decades since I trained at all. I've gotten married, kids, a career and have grown up and left childish things behind... now my back hurts, can't bend over, tongue sucked to my lower teeth. One foot pulling up, one crushing down and leaning. Head forward looking at my screen.
My suggestion: do childish things and touch some grass. ❤ roll around on the ground an hang upside down
Thank you very much for the comment and the feedback. Yes the tongue's relationship to the head neck and face is fundamental
This is the kind of thing that gets me pumped about being a human.
A few years ago i discovered that exaggerated facial expressions helped me to process repressed emotions. There are so many muscles in our face and head, and so many limiting beliefs in society about what "acceptable behavior" is. From a young age we pick up on societal ques to repress facial expressions, body movements, stretchs, the urge to run and play, sing and dance, make random noises.
Thank you for sharing such a simple exercise with such powerful benefits.
I really like your first sentence 'pumped about being a human'. The human body is quite amazing
Omg! Thank you for your comment. With me being ADHD/autistic I have a flat affect. I don't want a flat affect. I will try exaggerated facial expressions! Thank you!❤
man,this is the kind of comment the world should see. Here have my like this way!the virtual likes are useless anyway
@@judod97The likes are not useless. They push the comment up to the top so more people see it :)
@@DiamondsRexpensive like that means anything for your life🙂
I was born with my tongue stuck to the mandible, no mobility whatsoever. Nobody noticed it. I struggle hugely, learning difficulties plus bullied as I couldn't speak properly. They thought I was autistic or "retard" this was the 70's. At age 9 the school authorities decided to transferring me to a special needs school as I repeated 3 times 2nd year. I internally knew I was intelligent but I couldnt express myself. The last teacher that carried out the transfer assessment, kindly asked me to stick out my tongue and the rest is story - I remember her face a mix of surprise, happiness and anger, that nobody else assessed my tongue before, At 10 I went into surgery and my tongue was released and that little kid of me started thriving and I never stopped learning. Thank you for sharing this exercise hugely important.
So glad you got some help and someone took the time to observe and figure out why things were happening.
I return here after three months after the video, and the experience has definitely been transformative for my overall wellbeing, particularly with my TMJ, neck, swallowing issues, emotional wellbeing and even my somatic tinnitus. Combining the techniques I learned here with proper tongue placement and collarbone massage has significantly accelerated my recovery. Thank you so much. Even my speech therapist at the hospital can feel so much more positive changes. To anyone reading this, my sincere hope is that you experience positive changes like I have. Wishing you all the best on your journey to recovery.
Thank you for sharing I am so glad it helped and great commitment
Makes me want to keep going with this. Already feel more comfortable around my jaw!
15 circles each direction and my ears popped and sinuses cleared. Something is definitely happening with this. I will be practicing this to see what happens. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent job. It's a powerful move
I’ve been having acute disassociation lately and this exercise is the only thing that takes me out of my mind and into my body, it’s been a life saver
That's fantastic to hear thank you so much for sharing
Dude. THANK YOU X 10000000 for just getting to the point instead of a long winded preamble. Too many people just geek on some intro nobody needs.
Very sharp observation
Thank you for your feedback. Means a lot 👌
👍
I was able to do 25 both ways and now, about 10 minutes later my jaw is SO relaxed. Now feeling sleepy. I’m adding this to my daily regimen
Excellent. So glad it helped.
@HeidiSue60, I agree with you on that!
I weirdly felt sleepy too. I am a jaw clencher because of so much stress.
I’m very relaxed
Stimulates vagus from memory
In Chinese Medicine, the tongue is directly connected to the heart. I work a lot with getting students to relax the tongue but I'm going to start training this myself and giving it to my students.
"Chinese medicine" 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing!
@@RomanesEuntDomus. Yes, to be more accurate, it's address as TCM
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Chinese_medicine
Well said, from an AHPRA-CMBA (government agency-national board) Registered TCM Practitioner here in Australia 🐉😛 (tcm students, practitioners, and patients will understand the last emoticon)
@@RomanesEuntDomus.How ignorant. Your lack of shame over that is even more staggering.
I'm a massage therapist and I've never seen this before? This is awesome. Thank you!!
You're so welcome!
As a therapist now imagine, before you do the circles if you spent 10 minutes working inside the mouth!!!!!!
Its over 12 muscles that insert into the tounge, plus working pytergoid muscles
Your tiunge will really thank you.
Imagine spending 5 minutes skin rolling the neck!!!!
Your tounge will be crazy free!!!
Alot will change and happen
Then do the exercises.
@@LifeofRip
What is skin rolling? The first part of your comment is Fascinating stuff, all the best
@@djfglobal3377I imagine it's vigorous pulling, kneading , tugging , rubbing, twisting of the flesh to massage tissues like muscles and fascia
Anyone remember being a child and doing things like this? I think it’s the spirit of being in the freedom of exploration. No judging, no worry, just carefree. It was healing and we didn’t think about it.
I agree with you 100% you are very perceptive.
100% You know those funny videos about people doing "stupid" stuff at the gym, like playing with gravity with maches they hook their ankle to, and they go flying and sh*t like that 😂 I love it!!
Adults need playgrounds too! Places where we can just explore our body movements and fluidity or lack thereof and not only learn from it but rejoice in it too!
Gyms are a boxed type of adult playground. The problem is that they very specific.
Yes! I do!
i remember doing so much yoga as a kid just while watching tv but one day i had my butt in the air and my older brother called me gay so i started to just sit there from then on in a normal sitting position.
you are totally correct. nature knows what nature needs. we've just became so unnatural
@@anaguerrerosholisticwellbe2788 Very good points! I totally agree!
I had a serious neck injury from helping lift a piano about 6 years ago. I am also a singer and whenever I would sing afterwards the notes would get all choked off and I would experience severe throat pain on the back right side of my throat. I never knew how to properly release this tension for years. Of course, I did everything I could to minimize pain by doing vocal exercises, stretching, doing yoga, eating healthier etc. But it never truly released that muscle deep in my throat/neck. The tightness got so bad, that it was difficult to swallow foods, breath a full breath of air, and speak for extended periods of time. In fact, I couldn't get enough air in my lungs because of the tightness, which fatigued my voice. As a result, my diaphragm suffered and felt this sharp pain that also made me feel like I had a hernia.. It kept getting worse, UNTIL I began focusing on my tongue..
I was shown an exercise where I was to stick out my tongue and hum scales up and down. After this---years of sharp pain in my throat---completely went away in just 10 minutes, and suddenly I could breath through my right nostril..IT WAS MY TONGUE THE WHOLE DAMN TIME! Then, this video in particular shows up in my timeline.. The anatomy trains image of the fascia clears up my years of questions regarding my deep pain. This is the best and most niche content that I have ever seen lol. Thank you!!
That's fantastic. Thank you for watching. Grateful for your kind comments. Tongue is really powerful neurology.
Wow these tongue circles helped my stiff neck by 60%. TY.
Keep doing them, maybe in time 100%???
That's excellent well done
I have tinnitus. I have been doing mechanical stretches & neck lymph movements. Hope this helps
Thank you Lord!!! This is amazing- I have been suffering with severe tension headaches in the back of my head and neck for 15 years. Two days of performing this exercise and my head and neck are sooo relaxed. It has been years since I felt this way. Thank you for posting this video and I pray God blesses you
YEAH! That is fantastic. So happy it was helpful for you. ❤️
I have TMJ and forward head posture and get terrible headaches from muscle spasms. I've done tongue thrusting, but this is a game changer. It's a part of my attack plan now. Thanks!
Thank you very much for your comment I hope it helps you
Same! I know this'll help totally!
I have TMJ as well and will start doing this!
@@tubegirljwdhow has it been going?
Same here. I’m going to start trying this every night before bed so far nothing has worked for my TMJ. I’ve tried PT and I’ve tried wearing a night guard and nothing is helping! Really hoping this works!
Interesting. This is a Taoist practice for maintaining vital essence. I do 36 clockwise/ 36 counter clockwise.
Excellent. The Taoist smart cats. They understood the body
I didn't notice any change in feeling of my neck. However, now I can hear much better 😄
me to i hear my girlfriend a lot more
Sounds good , hopefully mine too , my hearing isn’t great
There you go check the win box
yea my step sis moaning seems louder everytime I hit.😛
I just want to say a resounding thank you for this, as I have been contending with symptoms related to the dysfunction of the tongue for many years. And after doing this once, just 20 times each direction, my kidneys felt tingly later on in the day. Even more, I was able to empty my bladder completely, without it stopping short. This clearly provided a release of tension. I'm a movement teacher and do not know how this was not on my radar previously. Again, thank you!
That's amazing ❤
@summits100 - I doubt you could *feel* your *_"kidneys"_*_ tingling._ We *can't feel* most of our internal organs working, except when we have pain - and even then, we rarely can identify _which _*_specific_*_ organ_ it is - just the _general area_ in which it occurs, i.e. stomach/gut, chest, groin, and in women, the uterus (typically due to period cramps, ovarian cysts, or pregnancy).
@@wholeshebang1Well, to be fair that tingling may be due to my adrenals. As they are neighbors, it is very difficult to know exactly which one is responsible for that. But moreover, what each individual is able to feel in their bodies differs greatly.
Thank you so very much for your comment and sharing your experience. And you are very welcome you did a great job
Me too!!
What tongue problems did/do you have?
Just want to give an update to anyone wanting to see if this works; YES!
I have done it on and off after how much strain i could give my muscles and my tongue. Ever since the video was uploaded 4 weeks ago.
Right now in this moment i am writing this: about 15 minutes ago, my tongue, throat, back neck and jaw moved upwards and inwards (towards my back) and my hearing became normal again, ( ive lived under water for years obviously), my bite is good also, i felt it off for years now and had bite issues, gridint teeth etc etc, lots of trauma from past, ptsd etc, but its all good!... The past 4 days my hips and lower abdomen have been hurting like i was doing gymnastics.
This is really unbeklievable! As i am sitting here writing other places in my body is loosening up and tightness leaving.
Thank you so very much for sharing. I'm proud of you for sticking with it for a month. Well done ❤️
@@stopchasingpain Thank YOU sir, for using your time and knowledge for helping others.
I must also say that i have followed your other videos and "to do's" for lymph massage. I broke out with infections, eye sty ( idk the name in english ) Simply i got much worse before it became better...
We hold trauma in our hips and shoulders many times. If you can get those areas to free up there is hope ahead! I’m praying for you and me to release all the stress that we have carried.
This exercise triggers massive anxiety in me, but I have a nervous system dysfunction. I can do it, but only 3-5 at the time. So far it has fixed a neck injury I've struggled with for 6yrs! I can feel a difference even in my pelvis!
I think the reason I get so panicky is because years of misalignment in my body begins to shift and although it's a good thing, my nervous system is very jumpy. Thank you for this ❤
Oh wow, this triggers anxiety for me also, and I also have some nervous system dysfunction. I'm going to try doing this daily.
I have same issue! My body was horribly misaligned. I always felt like a big corckscrew bring twisted in the earth when I’d walk. I received Atlas / back adjustments very slowly with subtle precision instrument. As my body has changed it really freaks my mind out. Meditation and connecting to higher self have been the cure. And diet with lots of walking. I never thought my body could be fixed but here I am.
Not me. I can do this for hours. In fact, my girl friend says I'm an expert at this. ❤
The tongue is highly neurological. Go slow and easy only and do a few repetitions and stop before you get the anxiety
@@Republican-00769ew
I have a back pain since Christmas, I did 50 each side, the pain went from 6/10 to 2/10 almost in an instant. and it's still dropping.... just wow! and thank you! I will be doing this often from now on.
That is wonderful to hear. Great job. It's all connected.
Wow, this was amazing! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. Just wow. I've been stretching my legs, my back, my neck, and shoulders, for MONTHS. 5 minutes of concentrated tongue circles and just wow, I feel loose again. Bless you
Great job! Well done. Lots of neurology in the tongue.
The hyoid apparatus is connected via
the kinetic fascial lines from head to toes.
You are correct. The hyoid is a powerhouse
I’ve been waiting for you! This is priceless your gonna hear back from me soon🙏

Astounding concept beautifully explained - it works! Thank you.
You're very welcome! Thank you for the kind words.
The cannon from the canoe is a fantastic analogy. Phenomenal video. 10/10
Thank you very much
you are a genius!! thanks a lot, that helped so much!!!! more people need to have this knowledge!
You're welcome! And thank you for the kind words.
The best way to work on your tongue is to learn Sanskrit where each sound has a specific position and action of the tongue. Besides that Yoga has lots of exercises ( mudras ) for the tongue. What to say about diaphragm work and pranayama. Yoga is powerful and scriptures already talk about all this topics . Thank you for the modern perspective though ❤
Wow really? That's so interesting. People really figured out a lot more in the past than people give them credit for.
@@imperfectly_megan indeed. British colonization tried to erase their culture big time. Now India is coming back stronger than ever. And the old tradition is impacting society very strongly. From mindfulness to yoga, coding, phonetics, philosophy, mathematics, spirituality... 🤗
Thanks for the tips! Anyway you can find to work the tongue I'm all in. The most important part is the awareness that you should be working the tongue
Jeepers, this makes me yawn like mad! Through EFT (emotional freedom technique, aka tapping), I've learned that yawning can be a sign of emotional release, and it sure feels like this is exactly what's happening here. Great wee exercise, I will certainly keep coming back to it, especially that it released the tension in my neck pretty much instantly. Thanks a mill for sharing! 👍
I yawn every time I do EFT and came to the same conclusion as well!
@@kwool5151 Just wondering, I had a cat with a fairly short petting fuse, but just before she would lash out from the overstimulation, she would have an enormous yawn or two! If I stopped petting her then, there was no attack at all, but if I gave just one more her teeth and claws would draw blood! Was she releasing stress, but failed if I added any more,cuz it was too intense for her?
Eye rolls makes one yawn as well.
Thank you very much for your comment and share in your feedback.
So THAT'S why I used to yawn so much whilst doing energy healing; would yawn about 30 times in a row haha. Makes sense, good to know that it's a physiological response of releasing!
Thanks for the video❤
Thanks for watching!
I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel. You explain everything in detail and what these exercises do. Thank you!
You're so welcome! Thank you for subscribing and watching.
Wow, helped with sinus’ and tmj, thank you for this !
Good job
Thank you so much!! I only did a few circles each way and my jaw felt dramatically less tense. My pelvic floor feels more relaxed too.
Great job! Wonderful body awareness.
Amazing thanks!
Glad you like it!
Thank you. I'll do it
Welcome
First time I hear about exercising the tongue, I will give it a try. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Holy moly, my occipital were on FIRE! 20 on each side was all I could do. Given how I felt that happening in the back of my head, I know it was doing something.
BOOM! Exactly
I was on fire with 10 each way! Really hoping this could help migraines. 🤞
Thanks for the tips.Appreciated so much.God bless.🥰
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent lesson, thank you 🙂
My pleasure! Thank you for watching.
Gold. I will start using this with my patients
I think you will notice some nice results
I love learning new things! Great stuff we can benefit from and share ! ❤ Who would think the tongue could have these kinds of benefits so cool!
So true!
Saved this video 😊
BLESS YOU!!!

wow, I fractured my lower jaw in a fall 40 yrs ago, finding this video today is A MIRACLE ! I'm doing the tongue circles, subscribed, following you. Hope others share about their experiences to remind us to continue til it's habitual....I often get headaches and a therapist told me I clench my jaw....
Wonderful! Thank you so much for subscribing and I hope you get some benefit from the tongue circles
@@stopchasingpaindoc can you do video for neck 🧣 muscles ?!
I have hypermobile EDS and the tongue is sooo important!!! Seeing this is so cool...I've been doing tongue exercises for ages... Doing these type of exercises can completely realign my everything fast❤
I also have hypermobile EDS and I’ve never heard of this and I’m 57 years old. Do you have any channels or techniques to recommend?
Yes, what @HerbandCindy said - I don't have EDS but other issue and have tongue hypomobility and discoordination - I am very interested in where to get more info re: tongue exercise/rehab.
Thanks for sharing!!
I also have it do you have tmj?
wow ..this is amazing thank you
You're so welcome!
Worked like a charm, thank you so much. God bless you 😇
Glad it helped
Good stuff
Thank you. Appreciate that.

Very welcome
Nice. Something very new. Thank you sir!
Most welcome!
Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
I had studied anatomy chains before but I only studied the superficial ones and had never heard of deep core line! This video is very inspiring! Thanks so much 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad it was helpful! Anatomy trains is an absolute masterpiece
I’ve been working on tongue strengthening for awhile but have NEVER come across this exercise before! My tongue is extremely weak even with doing to exercises…this is getting to my weak spots! This is literally was I was looking for and didn’t even know it earlier today when I thought to myself, there has to be a way to strengthen the back and sides.
Thank you for this!
Happy to help! Thank you for watching
Thanx for the valuable video!🙏👍
My pleasure
Thank you so much, really. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Deepest love from South Africa

wowww that was instant relief! This is the second video I have watched from you where I get immediate relief. Aftere doing tthis, I instantly felet relaxed. My face, jaws, shoulders released tension, and I began to breathe in my belly. Then I instantly felt sleepy
Wonderful! Thank you for watching
Helpful good video as usual 👅
Appreciate it! I am always trying to learn how to deliver helpful information in a way that people enjoy.
This is a great addition to another exercise I do from Dr. John Grinder called the NLP Tongue Drop. Thank you for your amazing contributions to knowledge!
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks 😊 I will try this
Most welcome 😊
That relaxed my neck half way through the first set of circles
Well done!
Holy crap, doc. I’ve had a problem with one side of my tongue (I think for my whole life, only noticed it a couple years ago tho) where one side of my tongue doesn’t swallow?
An extension to this (I’m positive they’re related, but maybe not) the same side as this I have other symptoms: that sinus is blocked 90% of the time, that ear “crunches” when I move my jaw around (and is prone to infection in the Eustachian tube) and finally that same LUNG doesn’t work properly - like it doesn’t cough when I cough, and sometimes really restricts my breathing.
But I just did this exercise for 25 reps each direction and MY TONGUE FEELS LIKE ITS SWALLOWING PROPERLY.
Instant subscribe. I’m looking forward to some results and what other amazing info you share!
God bless.
I can seriously feel the whole inside on my bad side loosening up. My ear feels better, lung - everything.
I don’t wanna get my hopes up but I think you just freaking cured me.
I'm so glad it was helpful for you well done
genuinely amazing this cleared up my nose instantly
Excellent
Wonderful!
Many thanks!
I’ll give this a try. Ive had head and neck tension for years.
Hope it helps.
How are you now after the excercise?
Have you ever seen Neil Halinan? He has a similar practice of highlighting the interconnectedness of the body and how tightness in one place can have downstream effects. I can tell, like him, I'm going to like your channel.
Yes sure have. He has wonderful material.
That’s hardcore! I love it!
Thank you for watching
great thank you
You are welcome!
Definitely worth a shot!
Really have no inclination to spend my precious and meager free time in a gym or yoga class ... Thank you
You're so welcome! Let us know how it goes.
There is no need to go to the gym to work out, but you need to work out to avoid slow and progressively agonizing death.
Gyms aren't necessary, but I'd argue weight bearing exercises are absolutely essential to health. A barbell and plates, or at least some sandbags or kettlebells, can and will pay dividends.
@@KeterMalkuth Organized workouts aren't as necessary when your physical activity level is high and part of your everyday life. Definitely a must for sedentary folks who do not have much. So, I give that same advice to my clients that do not have weight bearing work, or otherwise hike and cycle.
