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
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.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
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
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
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.
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!❤
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.
@@stopchasingpain for all who watching and maybe even for you Perry to try and recomment to others: try doing this exercise while trying to smile (still keeping lips sealed) and be happy and also total facial expression like if you would smile including eyes a bit closed + having good posture (thinking about a string pulling you up at the back of your head). this is for me the ultimate addition to this exercise -- it also way harder
Watched last night 9/31/24, started doing these exercises parts (1 & 2 ) last night and today. My breathing has definitely improved. I’ve been short of breath for quite some and I can’t believe how quickly it happened. I’ve done both exercises at least 5-10x each. Thank you so much for sharing this!
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.
Yes. 68years young and you gave me the last best piece of the puzzle to have a body that is free of tensions that been causing injuries all my life. Thx a lot 🙏😊
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.
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.
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)
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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!!
Follow up to previous comment - I just had a massage, and while laying on my belly with face in the "cradle" I was able to breathe through my nose almost the entire time. There were about 5 minutes where I had to breathe through my mouth, yet my sinuses weren't super full like they usually get when I am laying face down. After several minutes of mouth breathing I was able to breathe through my nose for the remainder of the session. This is a first! Typically my sinuses completely plug up and I am miserable during the face down portion of the massage, so today was another game changer. I have been doing these tongue circle exercises twice a day since 9 days ago, and I am now up to 35 circles each direction. Thank you so much for this incredible tongue therapy. Fingers crossed this will help with my foot issues. Time will tell. Bottom line, I will not stop doing this goofy tongue exercise EVER! It's so easy to fit in to a busy schedule and it works!
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!
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!
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.
@@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...
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!
@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.
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 ❤
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.
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.
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.
Wow! So I’ve been doing diaphragm breathing for a while and getting results. Did just 1 set and my entire center of gravity is different. Complete gem! Breathing is also 10x better instantly.
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....
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! 👍
@@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?
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!
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❤
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.
WOW. It's like a cranial massage via tongue resistance training. Surprised this isn't in the book "Breath". This has got to be great for sinuses and expanding the palate. Thanks!
@@stopchasingpain Your channel is fantastic. The Internet is 99.99% worthless content. The lymph and vagal massage is a game changer. After the first time doing the four corner plus belly button circle abdominal massage with my knockoff theragun, I took a massive #2 without any strain. You need to get Joe Rogan exposure because your advice can really help people. The simplicity and ease of execution is mind blowing.
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.
Great tip. I do foot work and have recently added tongue work. I use to go to speech therapy as a child for my R’s and I just learned at 25 that I lack muscles and control to bunch my tongue with a downward turn.
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!
This is incredible sir. My back upper neck always was a pain. I had to do it in sets of five circles to even reach the 25, and it's so simple i an dumbfounded.
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 ❤
@@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... 🤗
I found this video a few days ago, and started doing tongue circles as a part of my pre-meditation practice. As I do it, my chest is going up and down as I breath through the circles. Fantastic at taking me deeper. Thanks for this.😄
My mind is blown. I just learned today my Tibialis Posterior is contributing to my hip pain. Then in this video you show the fascial connection between all these muscles that are dysfunctional in my body. PS my jaw feels much more relaxed.
My tibialis posterior issues have caused catastrophic issues with my hip and low back and jaw and it's all connected. So many doctors look at me like I'm nuts. They really aren't trained in neurosensory stimulation and connection. Tracy I'd love to hear how your journey is going. You sound so so similar to me!
@@davidf1211 My journey has been so confusing. So many muscles are involved in my dysfunction that I can't tell where it's coming from. My pain is from muscle tension on the right side of my body: TFL, erector spinae, psoas, QL, adductors, all around my lower leg (my ankle locks up because of muscle tension). I have pain in my lower leg and deep in my hip. I had two bad ankle sprains that contributed to muscle imbalances (which didn't cause pain until recently). Then after squatting with light weight, the imbalances shifted my pelvis and I've been in pain for 1.5 years. My current physical therapist is focused on building my right glute medius and maximus. The exercises are helping me activate those muscles, but I still have pain. It's like my pelvis isn't in the correct position to use those muscles in day to day activity. I'm going to see a posture specialist tomorrow. I keep seeing content about PRI and I'm curious about it since it's a holistic approach to treating the body. What are you experiencing?
Had headaches,neck, and shoulder pain for about 4 weeks. Did these and in about 3 to 4 days it's gone. Thanks! I was tired of suffering and the drugs were very temporary.
Thank you! I have a severe tongue tie but i did my best. My jaw popped, but then i succeeded in not moving my jaw. i feel better now. I will do my best to be consistent. I get myself to the gym every week to lift weights, i can do this.
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.
My sinus started clearing, also started coughing a lot when I did circles to one side. The muscle felt so tight and the opposite side o my head started hurting 😳 But now I can breathe better . Thank you for this video. I want to read this book now.
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
3 days in a row and I feel all kinds of stuff happening. It also kind of makes me feel exhausted and out of sorts, I’ve tried so many things to relieve the chronic habit of jaw tension clenching. Seems like this actually works. 😮
Been doing those tongue circles every other day since the video was released and for some reason I get an emotional response that makes me cry almost every time. I don't get how it works but it is for sure powerful.
I had the same! Just tried it for the first time and almost felt like crying. Was very relaxed after that. My voice dropped, I felt like humming and also laughed much easier than usual.
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 👍🏻👍🏻
Started these exercises last night using Part 1 & 2. Repeated at least 10-15x each exercise the next day. My breathing has improved dramatically. I’ve had shortness of breath and now I’m able to breath so much easier. Thank you so much! Will continue daily!!
My friend has trigymnenal neuralgia. It is so painful & she can’t plan much of anything because she is in pain so much of the time. She is not a candidate for surgery so she is on high pain med’s to control it. I pray for her all the time and I am believing for healing for her. When I’ve searched for remedies for this, I have found very few encouraging things to try. 😢 🙏🏻
I think this is exactly what i need. I'm going to start these tongue excercises right now and about to watch the tongue pulling video also. Thank you for posting these videos. You got a new subscriber. Much appreciated. .
i can't express how much of problems have been solved by instinctively training my tonuge and when i watched your videos , you absolutely provided more knowledge and insight on why it alleviated so much of my day-to-day back and leg pain and also gaining extra endurance and stability .. u r the best keep it up
I have forward head posture and extremely tight neck muscles, which give me a high-pitched squeaky voice. After doing 25 in each direction, suddenly I have a very open and deep voice. I sometimes get a similar deep voice from doing neck and jaw exercises that take at least 30 minutes to complete. This took me only a couple of minutes. Thank you so much! Instant subscriber 😄
I have cervical dystonia and my neck spasms so I can't do this in front of a mirror because my head would not stop moving so I laid down on the bed cradled my head and a pillow still put my finger on my chin and I was able to do this and I can feel severe pain in my neck which is the part that spasms. I'm hoping that learning to do these will help with my frozen neck which is actually caused by the Botox that they give me to stop the spasms but it really doesn't stop the spasms so I hope this makes sense thank you this just came up in my feed
I think you need to consult a medical health professional or physiotherapist before attempting this exercise again. I think due to your condition this exercise will not help you.
Trying it lying down is a good option. Nothing should cause severe pain when you do these movements. Discomfort is OK but not severe pain if that occurs stop.
People with dystonia are in constant severe pain. However I have been doing these more like 5 circles now up to 10 and that doesnt cause pain just discomfort. Dystonia is one of those rare diseases where professionals know very little so we as patients have to think outside the box.
😂Traumatic brain injury and broken femur from auto-accirent 40 years ago have eclipsed most of my attention and whip-lash was the least of my worries until about four years ago Now my neck is constantly stiiff ad though I slept wrong Times These xercises are a god-send I am a refugee of hurricane Helene from North Carolina. Reti🎉red and now I expect to live again God bless yall
When your other vids said " tongue circles" 3:22 IN your mouth, I assumed the roof of the pallet. But this vid, clarifies this exercise. Wow ! - a challenge ! Got to 15 on each side, first time out the gate. Thank you for the update
As a Linguist, your references to the importance of the tongue, its placement and exercising it, really resonate with me. Thank you. My current job involves a lot of walking. I tell everyone about toe separators and barefoot shoes and how much they've helped me. No one listens 😢
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.
I've been doing this for about 3-4 week. The past days I've noticed my lower back pain that was horrible for a long time is not there. I remember this video and rewatch it, and yes - you mention lower back. Wow.. maybe you just helped me! I haven't done anything besides the circles 🌼
Very interesting. I got almost a burning sensation in my occipital muscles and galea after 10 circles and had a gag reflex after 15. Guessing that's a sign I need to continue!
This is also a very Yin practice that Prof Bui Quoc Chau from Vietnam teaches since a while to fix several conditions where there is a Yang excess. He also makes circle the tongue from the inside of the teeth. If you do this in the morning and after every set of circles in both directions, you swallow the saliva, it's a strong immune boost.
goodNESS. This brought so much awareness to how much tension I was holding on to. I kept having to remind myself to breathe and noticing everything tensing up. Thanks for this.
Just gave this a try for the first time. I feel more alert. And, weirdly, the awful discomfort I've been feeling (and often do feel) in my neck/upper back & shoulders/head changed. In a way I feel more pain, but it feels "good" if that makes sense. Maybe it's the pain coming after the release of some of the tension. I found it impossible to get my tongue fully over my top row of teeth without moving my jaw, so I settle with just tracing the inside of the lip itself. Maybe I'll get more reach as I practice? And I'll definitely keep practicing. Thank you so much for this exercise, and the work you do.

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

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.
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'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
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.
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.
Follow up to previous comment - I just had a massage, and while laying on my belly with face in the "cradle" I was able to breathe through my nose almost the entire time. There were about 5 minutes where I had to breathe through my mouth, yet my sinuses weren't super full like they usually get when I am laying face down. After several minutes of mouth breathing I was able to breathe through my nose for the remainder of the session. This is a first! Typically my sinuses completely plug up and I am miserable during the face down portion of the massage, so today was another game changer. I have been doing these tongue circle exercises twice a day since 9 days ago, and I am now up to 35 circles each direction. Thank you so much for this incredible tongue therapy. Fingers crossed this will help with my foot issues. Time will tell. Bottom line, I will not stop doing this goofy tongue exercise EVER! It's so easy to fit in to a busy schedule and it works!
Thank you for sharing. So glad it made a difference for you. Well done.
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!
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...
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
Share more taoist exercises, Kala, please
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
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?
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.
The tongue is highly neurological. Go slow and easy only and do a few repetitions and stop before you get the anxiety
@Trump_won2020ew
Look up Dr Stanley Rosenbergs vagus nerve exercises for the neck and read his book
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. 🤞
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! So I’ve been doing diaphragm breathing for a while and getting results. Did just 1 set and my entire center of gravity is different. Complete gem! Breathing is also 10x better instantly.
Fantastic well done. That's a great combination
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.😛
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 ?!
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!
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.
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?
The cannon from the canoe is a fantastic analogy. Phenomenal video. 10/10

The hyoid apparatus is connected via
the kinetic fascial lines from head to toes.
You are correct. The hyoid is a powerhouse
WOW. It's like a cranial massage via tongue resistance training. Surprised this isn't in the book "Breath". This has got to be great for sinuses and expanding the palate.
Thanks!
Yes it certainly is good for helping drain the sinuses
@@stopchasingpain Your channel is fantastic. The Internet is 99.99% worthless content. The lymph and vagal massage is a game changer. After the first time doing the four corner plus belly button circle abdominal massage with my knockoff theragun, I took a massive #2 without any strain.
You need to get Joe Rogan exposure because your advice can really help people. The simplicity and ease of execution is mind blowing.
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.
Great tip. I do foot work and have recently added tongue work. I use to go to speech therapy as a child for my R’s and I just learned at 25 that I lack muscles and control to bunch my tongue with a downward turn.
Speech therapy I am sure they do wonderful work
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
This is incredible sir. My back upper neck always was a pain. I had to do it in sets of five circles to even reach the 25, and it's so simple i an dumbfounded.
Great job! That is the power of neurology. So glad it helped.
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
I found this video a few days ago, and started doing tongue circles as a part of my pre-meditation practice. As I do it, my chest is going up and down as I breath through the circles. Fantastic at taking me deeper. Thanks for this.😄
Thanks for sharing! Well done. Good body awareness
My mind is blown. I just learned today my Tibialis Posterior is contributing to my hip pain. Then in this video you show the fascial connection between all these muscles that are dysfunctional in my body. PS my jaw feels much more relaxed.
Fantastic. That is wonderful to hear. Well done
My tibialis posterior issues have caused catastrophic issues with my hip and low back and jaw and it's all connected. So many doctors look at me like I'm nuts. They really aren't trained in neurosensory stimulation and connection. Tracy I'd love to hear how your journey is going. You sound so so similar to me!
@@davidf1211 My journey has been so confusing. So many muscles are involved in my dysfunction that I can't tell where it's coming from. My pain is from muscle tension on the right side of my body: TFL, erector spinae, psoas, QL, adductors, all around my lower leg (my ankle locks up because of muscle tension). I have pain in my lower leg and deep in my hip. I had two bad ankle sprains that contributed to muscle imbalances (which didn't cause pain until recently). Then after squatting with light weight, the imbalances shifted my pelvis and I've been in pain for 1.5 years. My current physical therapist is focused on building my right glute medius and maximus. The exercises are helping me activate those muscles, but I still have pain. It's like my pelvis isn't in the correct position to use those muscles in day to day activity. I'm going to see a posture specialist tomorrow. I keep seeing content about PRI and I'm curious about it since it's a holistic approach to treating the body. What are you experiencing?
gonna work up to at least 50 rounds each side, 10 rounds was hard, thanks a lot for this
Very welcome
Had headaches,neck, and shoulder pain for about 4 weeks. Did these and in about 3 to 4 days it's gone. Thanks! I was tired of suffering and the drugs were very temporary.
Fantastic. Well done
Felt like a nice gentle workout for the face muscles at least. I'll give it a go for a few weeks. What the hell.
Excellent
I must thank you Doc❤I had a hernia & was hospitalized.I did your Big6 during my stay and recovered quickly❤😂🎉
Wonderful! That is so great. Well done. Sending you healing energy
Thank you. I consider myself a very healthy person and yet this was quite a workout!!! I'm so grateful for this. Thank you!!!
You are very welcome:) It definitely surprises people.
Thank you! I have a severe tongue tie but i did my best. My jaw popped, but then i succeeded in not moving my jaw. i feel better now. I will do my best to be consistent. I get myself to the gym every week to lift weights, i can do this.
Glad it helped!
I agree that with a tongue tie it is more challenging.
First time I hear about exercising the tongue, I will give it a try. Thank you!
You're so welcome!

Thank you so very much I am truly grateful
I'm soooooo grateful you're teaching me how my beautiful body works!!!!❤😂🎉
You're so welcome! It is beautiful. That's really wonderful healing words right there
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
My sinus started clearing, also started coughing a lot when I did circles to one side. The muscle felt so tight and the opposite side o my head started hurting 😳
But now I can breathe better .
Thank you for this video. I want to read this book now.
Those are great changes. Well done. Power of neurology
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
Ok, you just gained a new subsctiber. Just 15 circles each way (my first time) and I feel an amazing reduction in neck tightness.
Wonderful! Thank you. Welcome
I spend a lot of time finidng new, more efficient exercises, and I cant wait to add this one to daily repetitions!!
Let us know how it goes
I did this earlier yesterday. It's now 2AM. I'd forgotten about it. My face didn't 🤣
I must've needed that.
hahaha there ya go
3 days in a row and I feel all kinds of stuff happening. It also kind of makes me feel exhausted and out of sorts, I’ve tried so many things to relieve the chronic habit of jaw tension clenching. Seems like this actually works. 😮
Thank you very much I hope it helps. Stick with it for a month and let us know how it goes
Been doing those tongue circles every other day since the video was released and for some reason I get an emotional response that makes me cry almost every time. I don't get how it works but it is for sure powerful.
That's because the tongue is one of the most neurologically powerful connections to the nervous system
I had the same! Just tried it for the first time and almost felt like crying. Was very relaxed after that. My voice dropped, I felt like humming and also laughed much easier than usual.
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 😊
Omg I did it. That hurt! Thank you for sharing!
Great job!
Always need help for that area. Thank you for adding to my arsenal!

Glad it was helpful! Anatomy trains is an absolute masterpiece
Gold. I will start using this with my patients
I think you will notice some nice results
Started these exercises last night using Part 1 & 2. Repeated at least 10-15x each exercise the next day. My breathing has improved dramatically. I’ve had shortness of breath and now I’m able to breath so much easier. Thank you so much! Will continue daily!!
Fantastic. Well done. The tongue is an absolute powerhouse to change the airway and the cranial nerves of brainstem

After a few weeks of doing this, my girlfriend thanks you very much for this.
hahah You are very welcome
My friend has trigymnenal neuralgia. It is so painful & she can’t plan much of anything because she is in pain so much of the time. She is not a candidate for surgery so she is on high pain med’s to control it. I pray for her all the time and I am believing for healing for her. When I’ve searched for remedies for this, I have found very few encouraging things to try. 😢 🙏🏻
I know that's a very painful condition I hope this makes a difference
genuinely amazing this cleared up my nose instantly
Excellent
This is amazing. I have so many neck problems, and I can’t wait to try this
Hope it helps
Wow this relaxed my voice. I have baritone. After doing this my voice sounds even deeper. Thanks
You're very welcome!
wow..got to 30 and its a proper work out
hahah 1000%

i can't express how much of problems have been solved by instinctively training my tonuge and when i watched your videos , you absolutely provided more knowledge and insight on why it alleviated so much of my day-to-day back and leg pain and also gaining extra endurance and stability .. u r the best keep it up

You're so welcome!
I fell new nervs in my face and body after do this. Feels good.
That's great body awareness
I have forward head posture and extremely tight neck muscles, which give me a high-pitched squeaky voice. After doing 25 in each direction, suddenly I have a very open and deep voice. I sometimes get a similar deep voice from doing neck and jaw exercises that take at least 30 minutes to complete. This took me only a couple of minutes. Thank you so much! Instant subscriber 😄
Oh that is so wonderful to hear thank you for sharing your results. And I am grateful for the subscription thank you
@@stopchasingpain Thank you for sharing such wonderful methods with us. I so appreciate that. ❤️
I’ll give this a try. Ive had head and neck tension for years.
Hope it helps.
How are you now after the excercise?
I can’t believe how hard this was. My jaw was so tight and angry. Going to add to my daily routine. Grazie!
Thank you for the comment. Good body awareness. Ease into it
I have cervical dystonia and my neck spasms so I can't do this in front of a mirror because my head would not stop moving so I laid down on the bed cradled my head and a pillow still put my finger on my chin and I was able to do this and I can feel severe pain in my neck which is the part that spasms. I'm hoping that learning to do these will help with my frozen neck which is actually caused by the Botox that they give me to stop the spasms but it really doesn't stop the spasms so I hope this makes sense thank you this just came up in my feed
Me too!
TY for your comment - I am not able to do this at all - I"m going to try lying down....
I think you need to consult a medical health professional or physiotherapist before attempting this exercise again. I think due to your condition this exercise will not help you.
Trying it lying down is a good option. Nothing should cause severe pain when you do these movements. Discomfort is OK but not severe pain if that occurs stop.
People with dystonia are in constant severe pain. However I have been doing these more like 5 circles now up to 10 and that doesnt cause pain just discomfort. Dystonia is one of those rare diseases where professionals know very little so we as patients have to think outside the box.
😂Traumatic brain injury and broken femur from auto-accirent 40 years ago have eclipsed most of my attention and whip-lash was the least of my worries until about four years ago Now my neck is constantly stiiff ad though I slept wrong Times These xercises are a god-send I am a refugee of hurricane Helene from North Carolina. Reti🎉red and now I expect to live again
God bless yall
This exercise may help you for sure with that history.
You gained a new subscriber in less than 2 min! 💯 thank you!
Thanks for the sub! Grateful and lovely to have you here
When your other vids said " tongue circles" 3:22 IN your mouth, I assumed the roof of the pallet. But this vid, clarifies this exercise. Wow ! - a challenge ! Got to 15 on each side, first time out the gate.
Thank you for the update
Good job.
That relaxed my neck half way through the first set of circles
Well done!
As a Linguist, your references to the importance of the tongue, its placement and exercising it, really resonate with me. Thank you.
My current job involves a lot of walking. I tell everyone about toe separators and barefoot shoes and how much they've helped me. No one listens 😢
Thank you. That is a powerhouse combination. Toe separators and the tongue placement. HUGE. Keep teaching it.
Fantastic exercise! Thank you Dr Perry.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I don't really understand how this works, but I'm sure someone else understands the explanation better than I.
You don't even really need to understand how it works. If it helps that all that matters
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.
I've been doing this for about 3-4 week. The past days I've noticed my lower back pain that was horrible for a long time is not there. I remember this video and rewatch it, and yes - you mention lower back. Wow.. maybe you just helped me! I haven't done anything besides the circles 🌼
That's really fantastic to hear I'm so glad to hear your body responded positively. Well done
Very interesting. I got almost a burning sensation in my occipital muscles and galea after 10 circles and had a gag reflex after 15. Guessing that's a sign I need to continue!
Oh yes lots of neurology in the tongue
Wow I tried this just to test if it worked and instantly released tension neck & shoulder. Will try this daily
Keep it up and watch our latest upload with Version #2
This is also a very Yin practice that Prof Bui Quoc Chau from Vietnam teaches since a while to fix several conditions where there is a Yang excess. He also makes circle the tongue from the inside of the teeth. If you do this in the morning and after every set of circles in both directions, you swallow the saliva, it's a strong immune boost.
Excellent. Yes!
goodNESS. This brought so much awareness to how much tension I was holding on to. I kept having to remind myself to breathe and noticing everything tensing up. Thanks for this.
Wonderful! Great body awareness. Well done.
Just gave this a try for the first time. I feel more alert. And, weirdly, the awful discomfort I've been feeling (and often do feel) in my neck/upper back & shoulders/head changed. In a way I feel more pain, but it feels "good" if that makes sense. Maybe it's the pain coming after the release of some of the tension.
I found it impossible to get my tongue fully over my top row of teeth without moving my jaw, so I settle with just tracing the inside of the lip itself. Maybe I'll get more reach as I practice? And I'll definitely keep practicing. Thank you so much for this exercise, and the work you do.
Good job
Tongue, WOW nobody ever told me the importance of this precious object, thank you
Very welcome. It's crazy powerful
Ah, it’s painful, not so easy to do to start it but I am convinced that’s worth it…
Will have a great results
As someone who is prone to apnea , this method must be highly beneficial, thanks for posting this!
