Dear Heather, I've been troubled by TMJ for over 50 yrs and today my jaw has been particularly tender...so seeing your video just now came like a Godsend. I've already tried your technique and it was easy and effective. I've watched many of your videos and haven't seen a bad one yet. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge with the rest of us. It's is greatly needed and appreciated. God bless you, dear.
Thank you so very, very much, Heather. Don't usually comment on TH-cam videos, but this is a sincere thanks I got to express to you somehow. You really saved my life and the life of my child by doing this. The pain was unbearable and nothing else I tried helped. Your method was unique in immediately taking the horrible pain away. Am in a strange situation, not able to go to doctor right now. Internet and people that make it what it is are giving such hope regarding the future of human kind.
I spent $200 getting two massages and even though I told them my problem was jaw pain, neither of them offered to do this for me. I was able to do it myself thanks to your video and my jaw feels more relaxed. Thank you so much!!!
woebetideme Cheers for the video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you considered - Franaar Painless Smile Formula (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a smashing exclusive product for curing the TMJ disorder without the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend Sam got cool results with it.
+Marija Arsic Is this the TMJNOMORE that you are referring here as -Franaar Painless Smile Formula? I cant find that Franaar...and it keeps on going to TMJNOMORE by: Sandra Carter
OMGOODNESS! I had no idea all of those spots were so tender. The third one hurt so bad I felt nauseous.
Monique Loupe my head hurts so bad when I get up from the couch and walk it’s just pain! Plus I felt like throwing up
@@sxnflowernotfound3816 This happened to you after you followed this video?
Monique Loupe no
@@sxnflowernotfound3816 I'm so sorry. That sounds unbearable Yan. Are these headaches migraines?
Monique Loupe thank you! And I don’t know but I am way better today!
thank you i have been suffering so much and doing this daily reduces thhe headaches and earaches
I can't thank you enough for showing these pressure points. I've had TMJ since I broke my jaw on both sides back in 2001, and it's gone so far that I can barely open my mouth, eat, or even sleep well. I've suffered from constant headaches, neckpains and earpains ever since that injury, and I tried these pressure points, and now I can open my mouth somewhat normal for the first time in almost 3 weeks just after trying this onne time :D
I happened upon this video a couple of months ago. I was having severe pain caused in my case from clenching my teeth unconsciously during the day and grinding my teeth at night. Before digging out my dreaded bite plate for night wear I began this routine daily and it really cured the problem. Ultimately I began using the bite plate at night as extra insurance. But even when I don't I have little problem as I do your excercises mostly evening or in bed before sleep. Thank you so very much.
@haileysheets - That point is on the Small Intestines Acupressure Meridian. It's SI 19 and one translation for it is Auditory Palace. It's helpful for many ear problems - tinnitis, hearing loss, inflammation in the area. It's also good for motor problems/functional issues of the mandibular joint. It's usually a point that's very tender - there are a lot of fascial structures and tendon attachments in that area that we use constantly and pressure in the area feels tender.
This seams to help. I have just tried each of these points for just over 30 seconds each. It was a painful experience, though I appear to have some relief. I usually have difficulty pronouncing words that require a wide open mouth and immediately after the exercise I had less difficulty. I will keep trying this exercise.
Retox Media Dr Weinstein's tmj headband stops night teeth grinding and clenching, which means it addresses the root cause of tmj and is possibly able to actually cure it. I strongly recommend it.
Thank you for posting. I applied the pressure points while watching your video and now my jaw feels very relaxed.
I wanted to add that I've watched a lot of different videos on this subject and yours is the most helpful. All 4 points worked really good. I'm so relaxed I'm struggling to keep my eyes open as I type this.
Thank you so much. For the past three years, I've been having a lot of discomfort and tension in my jaw and my ears. Learning these acupressure points has truly helped.
Thank u so much ma'am...this is really very helpful...I was so much in pain from last one yr ,nothing worked, even pain killers were not effective on this kind of pain...thank God I came across your video...doing this from last four days...and it really worked I m so much relieved....Thank u so much...God Bless
I, also suffer from TMJ on the Left side of my jaw. I broke my neck in 5 different places, and have been bothered with this for about 7 years now. This, immediately made a difference!!! So glad I found this! Thank you so much!
HOLY SHIT THIS WORKED.
I don't trust all these praise comments from ppl with no pic and a new acct.
Right?! It really did...hurt a bit, but if you hold over a minute it releases sorta...my chiro does this in my hips...just holds pressure while I scream lol ...then it releases.
Boosted Vibes I literally said the same thing
India Shelton ..is your name is India..
This is just superb, been searching for "natural face lifts exercises" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Jenrooklyn Facial Mummification - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate got excellent results with it.
You're the best! I can't thank you enough for sharing this I've watched this a dozen times or more so I can get out of pain. I grit my teeth often and I have used these points to get out of severe pain more things than I care to count...again thank you you are the best and explain this better than most other videos I've viewed
You can do this several times a day if it helps. I usually do it a 2-4 times a day when my jaw starts getting tense and tight. I hold the acupoints for 30s to 2 min at each one. Be careful not to press too hard or do this too often as you could bruise yourself! And yes, the ear drain often accompanies this technique. I'm glad it's helping!
I'm in shock! Thank you! This completely worked and I've been going to a chiropractor and massage therapist for years without any relief in the popping noise. Totally helped me instantly. I'm so impressed I was able to do this instead of a professional.
I've had TMJ for years and tonight I've had a terrible headache and neck ache. I decided to visit TH-cam in hopes for a quick tip on pain relief, found this video and instantly found relief. Each pressure point massage felt so good, relieving the pain quickly. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

great info. im also a liscensed and certified massage therapist and my teacher never went over this in school. well now ive been having pain and soreness in my jaw on both sides. i tried this and i felt relief as soon as i took my fingers off my face. thanks
Thank you so much for the video and instructions! My jaw has been very sore for the last week, but using the acupressure points has helped. It does hurt, especially at the top of and in front of the ear, but there is is a clear difference.
Excellent! Thank you so much Heather, you just made my day. I've been having clogged ear since I can remember with the panic that comes with it etc.. but pressing those four trigger points..such a relief! Thank you a zillion times
I always have pain im my temples...and the point she mentioned in the video are the exact same tender points for me! I follow the movements with this 3 mimute video and just pressed for about 15seconds....and omg did it work!! Now i will try later for 2 mins. Insh'Allah.
Thank you! My daughter was in tears and your video helped her so much.
Thank you, Heather. I stumbled upon this video yesterday and I have been using the pressure points to alleviate TMJ I sustained after a three and a half hour long dental procedure recently. I have been on Celebrex since then and the jaw pain has not really eased up. Thank you for the tips. They have really proved to be very helpful.
The worked so well for me. My jaw pain and tension in my head went right away! THANK YOU SO MUCH HEATHER!
I wish Heather would make more videos! This one and the self lymph drainage for sinuses have been so beneficial for me.
Heather, this was so gentle but SO powerful. Had emergency dental work a few days ago and my jaw / face / neck have been a mess. This really helped.
Thank you incredibly. I had my adjustment for my TMJ splint today and resorted to 800 mg of ibuprofen. I am happy I found your video. You have provided me with relaxation.
Thank you sll the way from Durban, South Africa ! Thank you so much for making and posting your video. I used the end of a pencil, with an eraser, to massage and press those 4 points. I spent a long time at each area - a lot of tmj jaw tension, and full feeling in my ears - and I can move my jaw more easily, and can see the muscles are looser, and want to " stretch out' after. I often - sort unconsciously - rub the front of my ears, to try and help my jaw....but actually using pressure on the spots you demonstrated, is an absolute God send. You're an angel!
So nice of you to make those videos. I finally know how to relax my jaws which helps me a lot considering my problem of " biting " my own teeth in my sleep. Never a dentist thought about giving me this advice !
Dude. I’ve been dealing with tmj pain for months now. Got a dental mouth guard, went to PT, all helped a little but nothing as much as this 4 minute video I just stumbled upon. I’ve only done this cycle once so far and holy crap did it feel great (especially for headache relief). Also, the 4th trigger point was a surprise to me on pain. Didn’t know that existed lol thanks so much going to do this daily hopefully!
This is amazing!! My jaw feels totally relieved!! I got this about a week ago woke up and my jaw hurt like hell but now thanks to this video my pain has gone away!!
Wow I just tried this and it was so painful! The pain was shooting up my face and head leading up to my temples. But I should continue in order to get relief right?
Thanks! This just fixed 6 years worth of problems for me! :)
Lanre Ajala This is awesome. How many times did you do the routine before it fixed it?
You're pressure point tips have been a miracle, thank you!
Thank you so much, Ive had this pain ever since I was a child and would wake up and not be able to open or close my mouth for days, As an adult Ive had issues on and off but the last three days have been extremely painful. After doing the acupressure just once I felt a relief and the muscle relaxed. Ive been waking up at night with it hurting since I'm a teeth grinder. SO helpful!
@cherrired2003 I hope you got some rest and that you've continued to use it. You're very welcome!
@MegaChadK The acupressure points relate to organs, but not always in a strict, Western medicine sort of way. It's more an associate with a number of characteristics traditional Chinese Medicine associates with the organ, so it's hard to say how connected it is. However, great news that it's helped with the TMJ. Internal massage of the jaw muscles with the fingers will also help.
It felt really good. The last points were so sensitive. Ouch but it was a good ouch. Thank you for these pointers.
@weesophz93 It's not a frequent reaction, but many of these points also affect the lymphatic system, and the sinus system in the head. That means they can affect your sense of balance if the inner ear and the fluid in there reacts to changes in the pressure.
Thank you so much. I just had a tonsillectomy on Friday and the jaw pain is excruciating. Doing those, even briefly, just now has helped.
Oh my word! Thank you for sharing this video! i just reciently had my wisdom teeth removed and got TMJ from it afterwards and i have been in pain from it for about a week and i did those points and it was instantly gone. i also felt very relaxed and now maybe can go so sleep tonight! thank you!
I've got this bookmarked...helps me when I have those bad TMJ headaches that just won't let go
What the heck!!!!!!!!!!!!! My head was pounding after I did what you instructed it was gone instantly. THANK YOUUUUU SO MUCHHHH!
@xmusicxgirlx96 I'd love to hear how it went. Sometimes it takes a couple sets of these for several days in a row to feel a huge improvement. I usually suggest people do it twice a day for five days to see if it makes a measurable difference in pain/discomfort.
@graceasher Thank you! I use these points on people in sessions all the time, and direct them to this video so they can use them on their own. I hope it continues to help with your TMJ syndrome, Grace.
This was amazing.... it helped me as soon as I completed the 4 pressure points. No more pain. Sleeping better.
Really helpful. I've been dealing with jaw pain for two weeks and these points give me immediate if temporary relief. Will keep using them. Thank you so much for this clear and helpful video.
LinLin64 Dr Weinstein's tmj headband stops night teeth grinding and clenching, which means it addresses the root cause of tmj and is possibly able to actually cure it. I strongly recommend it.
I grind my teeth really bad at night and it has led to horrible neck pain and headaches. Massaging these points really brought a lot of relief to my jaw I did not realize how tense it was
I think you're great. I have viewed a lot of different massage people and I really like how you present things. Thank you!
Thanks! This really has help relieve my TMJ pain! Best I've felt in years!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I am two weeks out from a upper right molar abscess, cheek cellulitis and root canal. I woke up this morning feeling dizzy and disoriented. Seems I roll over on that side when I'm sleeping and which apparently causes the interstitial fluid to go starboard! Between your Self-Lymph Drainage and this video, you have given me the first real relief I have had. Thank you again for sharing!
Freddiefallout Dr Weinstein's tmj headband stops night teeth grinding and clenching, which means it addresses the root cause of tmj and is possibly able to actually cure it. I strongly recommend it.
I just did this! And it worked! Suffered all day, and feeling much better.
Thanks, this helped tremendously with my jaw pain that has been constant for over a week due to stress. Relief!
My jaw pain gives me headaches. I feel like just ripping it off to not suffer any longer. I hope it gets better soon
Thank you Heather. This has been very helpful in relaxing my jaw and relieving the associated headache :)
Just tried this for the first time and it felt so good. Not sure if it will cure my tmj or anything but my jaw is less tense. Thank you!
WOW!! My jaw was popping (i think my wisdom teeth are too big) and now it's so relaxed and doesn't pop anymore! AMAZING!
Thank you for your video! I did all the pressure points and I feel relief in my jaw. I'll be sure to keep doing this. Cheers!
Seriously the best video for daily relief actually my symptoms have been slowing getting better doing this daily along with proper tmj care. One thing I notice though I get a little more centered pain in the tmj doing these. It's ok though because it eliminates headaches and off balance feeling.
wow! my jaw isn't popping immediately after doing this... thank you so much!
Heather that is what i have been looking for since 2016. thank you....
Thank you, I just had a jaw tooth pulled a few days ago and my jaw and ear have been really hurting. They don't hurt nearly as badly now. Thanks again!
Heather, thank you so much for sharing this. I tried all the pressure points and it helped relieve the pressure.
Omg what a relieve ! My head was hurting so much since last night but this is actually helping.
Thank you very much for this! This was really helpful to me this morning. I've been dealing with TMJ pain for 6 years and I am always looking for new techniques to help manage the pain before having to take pain relievers
this helped bring my pain down from unbearable to moderate! thank you!
Wow! I have been unable to eat today because of the pain, this finally relieved it! thank you!!!
This was very helpful. I have TMJ & TMD and these points are new to me. They are helpful!
Thank you mam for Sharing such an informative video, I don't have words to say thanks , I have been suffering from TMJ getting my jaws locked for long time and also painful, after I did acupressure the way you reached , now I am relaxed , God bless you 💐🎊🎊

Oh, and I was so excited I forgot to say: Thank you very much for providing this wonderful video! :)
You have saved me and my clients
I am too far to commute Florida:), but I would if i could. These points are so helpful and YOU presented them in a way that makes them easy to remember. Thanks so much Heather for sharing your knowledge and technique!
the tension went away for 5 seconds before coming back again. there isn't any pain anymore but it always feels so stiff if i don't crack it.
That's really helped me quite a lot tonight. Thank you.
You're a good instructor! Spread this wisdom!
This worked amazingly, had so much tension in my head after an exercise session.
Wow the relief was pretty much instantaneous, was having jaw pain from 4 days and now i can open my mouth way wider without pain
This really worked and was a huge relief. Thank you so much!
Thank you Heather!!! My life is back to normal!
