Have you found this helpful in treating patients with trismus/bruxism related to radiation therapy from oral cancer.... That's my problem and I am wondering if physical/massage therapy would help because nothing else is....thanks!

Just wondering why you would work the masseter from the inside as well? do you find that you get better results?

can you reduce the masseter muscle by massaging it regularly?

[Audi2000t]

i doubt it if you massage it this will increase blood flow to that area and make your muscle even bigger!

and whoever says chew gum to make your face thinner is the worst thing you can do not only will it increase blood flow to your jaw area it will increase your masseter muscle by working it out lol

@Audi2000t So by this thinking, massaging someone's back would make him/her look like a bodybuilder?? Muscles increase in mass through strengthening exercises. This is not a strengthening exercise; quite the opposite! The muscle is being relaxed. Increased blood flow softens the tissue & makes it easier to relax (think of a hot bath, how it increases circulation to relax muscle).

I recently had my Jaw locked in closed position 1 morning waking up, and for past month have severe TMJ. Thanks you for this video, my dentist wouldnt even prescribe or help me unless I could buy his $600 night guard to stop my grinding of teeth in my sleep.  Anyhow I ended up paying hin $75 ofc fee for nothing, and he wouldnt even prescribe ibuprofren to help me. I was in ER 3times, bef I went to him, then my regular DR now which gave me some RX has helped but had no advice on massage. THanks!

try botox

[bexmith]

@Audi2000t Botox can relieve TMJ symptoms; I've had it done (specifically for TMJ, injected in scalp, not face) & relieved my jaw clenching & tension headaches.. for about a year. Not a lasting solution. & Botox is expensive! Jaw muscles are much larger than facial muscles, so it takes more Botox (& more money) to freeze them. Massage treatment, when done by a trained, professional massage therapist, is a LOT less expensive than Botox, & can affect change in the longer-term.

this condition may be due to cervical problems such as fusion of the cervical vertebrae (which would interfere with nerves) with tight muscles in this area may also be affected by a shivering sensation around the jaw causing both sets of teeth to micro grind at a very fast rate....this may well possibly be a trapped nerve.

any one with tight jaw muscles should seek to have an xray of the cervical and thoracic spine. chiropractic care helped my jaw tension.

be helpful if you said why to do this to a client

[Sin3400]

the masseter is a muscle of mastication, which means chewing. Many people have problems with these muscle due to TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint disorder) grinding their teeth in their sleep, excessive gum chewing, and/or emotional problems that they tend to clench their teeth etc.
