  • 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.

  • This is awesome.

  • does this help to reduce the muscles in the jaw???

    Can I do this on myself???

    PLEASE ANSWER!

    THANKS!

  • 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?

  • Cute voice :3

  • @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.

  • @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).

  • ...next, at this point, we'll remove the small bug that flew into her mouth...

  • try botox

  • 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

  • Is this foreplay?
