HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июн 2019
- The masseter is the most superficial muscle of mastication, easily felt when the jaw is clenched.
Trigger Point Indications, include:
Trismus (severely restricted jaw), TMJ pain, tension/stress headache, ear pain, ipsilateral tinnitus, dental pain, bruxism, sinusitis pain, puffiness under the eyes (often present in singers).
Typical Causes:
Chewing gum, tooth grinding/ bruxism, prolonged dental work, stress, emotional tension, head- forward postures, occupation.
Oh wow, never expected mine to be this big. I can literally feel the muscle, it's more prominent on my left side than my right.
Then start using more of the right side while eating
I might actually make it back to the dentist now! Haven’t gone for years in fear of my jaw locking (has happened in the past and is scaarrryy). Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!
I am AMAZED! I’ve had lockjaw for two weeks since getting a dental crown. No relief. This stretch cured me! I went from getting two fingers in my mouth to 3 🎉 thank you SO much!
Aynı durumdayım çenem kilitleniyor . Kaplama yapıldıktan sonra. Geçti mi 😢

@@Nielasher You're very welcome. How often should I try this technique?
@@allann7333 Depends. At first once a day will enough but do it two times a day.
If it hurts then don't do it

I get really bad nausea when I try these. Any advice?

That thumbnail is wild
Can this reduce Meester muscle
That's really cool 😎
We are glad to hear! 💪
I can actually feel this
That’s great to hear! Feeling the stretch means you’re targeting the right area. 💪
How wide should I be opening my mouth? It feels like my jaw is going to unhinge at a certain point but I can feel a bigger stretch is possible.
Hi Stacys,
You should be able to open your mouth fully whilst feeling the stretch. Bear in mind, if you open too much you will feel that end of range instability. That is the maximum point, and is obviously different for each person.

Can you use this exercise to strengine your Masseter muscles to give yourself a stronger jawline? I am trying to find out the best exercise for this effect that will have the lease likely hood of causing injury.
Yes, it can help in this
Relaxing the masseter muscle will make your jawline better because tension recedes it overtime
When I open my mouth and relax my jaw, my jaw moves upwards instead of down. Do you know what that is? I'm guessing it's not trismus because I can open my jaw. It's just when I relax it. I'm wondering if tight masseter muscles might be the reason. Will this exercise help?
Thank you for your feedback. If possible you should always seek advice in person from a suitably qualified professional. For more information that might be of help, please visit the blog section of our website www.nielasher.com
Does anyone know whether this works for TMJ. I'm suffering from horrible pain and a cracking jaw and haven't found anyone in Houston that specializes in this.
It can be effective for some dealing with TMJ symptoms, as it targets the muscles often associated with jaw tension. For specialist care in Houston, you might consider consulting with a physical therapist or an orofacial pain specialist who has experience with TMJ disorders. They could provide more personalized treatments. Wishing you relief and a quick recovery! 🙏
I came from asymmetry face exercise video, and they do different kind of masseter stretch but I don't feel the stretch. Only to come here with no luck of feeling the stretch again, my face is assymetry as hekl
It can be tricky to feel the stretch in the masseter if there's significant asymmetry. It might help to try variations in intensity and angle. Consulting with a physical therapist could also provide personalized guidance to ensure you're targeting the muscle effectively. 🙏
Would this exercise help to start reducing the size of the masseter? Worried if I do this that it’ll actually increase the size of it?
Init
@@mrbevyt746 ?
I am also confused about it does it help to reduce size
@@steezy3854 no you cannot atrophy massetter unless you stop chewing or eating hard foods
@@mrbevyt746 growtopia
Please tell me anyone why my one sided masseter muscle is big than my another and that is sharp...how to solve it without surgery or botox...any exercise? Please help me ASAP
Sounds like you may use that side more while chewing your food maybe?
mine is swollen and it fucking hurts when I try to do this, I heard a pop 4 days ago and I cant chew for shit and it hasn't gotten any better, It's not the TMJ It's like the masseter connection to the bottom of my jawbone that ripped or something, did this ever happened to anybody? the pain is like unbearable. Im fueling myself with motrin for the past week to ease the pain.
Masetery crak sound😢
So does this reduce a big jawline?
Does stretching your arm make your bicep smaller?
It grows it
There is an incident happened in my school. My teacher yawned in the classroom, suddenly her jaw broke and immediately admitted her to hospital.
What's it?
What is the reason for it?
Does any relation with masseter muscles?
tmd probably
Females are more prone to anterior dislocation of temporomandibular joint, do this exercise until you feel only a light stretch, do not put excessive force on the joint.
Whos watching this after a hard left hook ?
Don't do this in public
Lmao right
Dam he really avoided trying to pronounce masseter
If this guy didn’t want to be a model why did he bother to be in the video. Dude, was fighting to not open his mouth wide as the doctor was trying to instruct
He might be an actual patient of TMJ ie he is medically unable to open wider (a symptom)
He was fighting it because it was pulling away from his Undertaker eye roll back into the socket manoeuvre
Welp, i think i watched this somewhere in the internet. Only difference is they were women and it wasn’t their fingers inside
Thanks for the comment! It’s important to use techniques that are safe and effective. We’re glad you found the video helpful! 😊
ayo wait
Yo his face and eyes are killing me
😂
Without the dislike button I am fucking blind
Doesn’t explain where to put your fingers. Are they behind your teeth, in front? No help whatsoever.
