What you are seeing is a quick screening that I did at a meeting. I am not locking the jaw, but just putting an object in his mouth and positioning it to take the pressure off a nerve within the jaw joint.  What we are effecting is the nervous system via the Trigeminal system.

I'm a recent member of the ST club. This is snake oil to me... Isn't the "improvement" you see simply caused by bringing other sets of muscular groups into play? Given the damage being done already because of my neck muscles being rigged it seems pretty dumb to suggest locking ones jaw to keep one's head up.
