Physical therapy from head to toe, treating not just a body part, but the whole person to reduce pain

01/23/2026

At some point, you either keep circling the same advice or you decide to do something different.

Jaw pain doesn’t change with treatments being done TO you.

It changes when you stop relying on quick fixes
and start addressing the habits driving it…
movement patterns, habits, breathing, etc.

Sure splints, neck exercises and Botox can help TMJD
But if they’re the only strategy, you’re just managing symptoms and never getting to the root of the issue.

So this is your gentle-but-firm nudge:
stop waiting for a magic fix.

Stop hoping the next thing will be “the thing.”

Share it with someone who’s been stuck
And DM “READY” if you’re ready to move forward.

Not really digging this 2016 is the new 2026 trend…

Besides marrying Dr. Hubs, 2016 was a rough year.

GI issues: SIBO, gut dysbiosis, gastritis

My diet was: gluten free, dairy free, low histamine and FODMAP. Literally one of THE HARDEST diet to adhere to and I was still reacting to foods.

Oral blood blisters: painful! Didn’t know why these happened at the time but turns out it was as my toothpaste and an allergy to SLS.

Losing my best friend. Still to this day have no idea why or what happened and wish I could make amends.

Learning my soul dog was dying and had months to live.

Some years are really rough.

2016 was one of those years for me, would rather leave some things there 🫠🤣

The secret to reducing jaw pain, clicking, and tension

And when you prioritize exercises, progressive strength, and daily habits,
you’ll be amazed how much calmer your jaw feels and how much easier eating, talking, and chewing become.

They didn’t get lucky.
They didn’t find a magic fix.

They just stopped chasing what other people could “fix”…
and started focusing on what they could control.

Things like:

daily habits

muscle strength

tongue position

how they chew

how they breathe

When you focus on what you can work on,
everything starts to feel easier.

Less jaw tension.
Less popping or locking
Sleeping better.
Eating more.

If healing feels far away right now,
you’re in the right place.

Follow along for simple TMJ tips, small habits, and real ways to help your jaw feel better.

1️⃣ Hydrate Early & Often
Water keeps your muscles working properly. Your jaw, neck, and tongue perform better when hydrated, which reduces tension and fatigue.

2️⃣ Tongue Up
Keep your tongue resting on the roof of your mouth. This simple habit reduces the load on your jaw throughout the day.

3️⃣ Teeth Apart
When you’re not chewing or swallowing, keep your teeth slightly apart. This relaxes jaw muscles and prevents unnecessary tension – especially when you keep your tongue up 😉.

4️⃣ Chew on Both Sides
Balance your chewing to avoid overloading one side. This strengthens muscles evenly and reduces pain, popping, and locking.

5️⃣ Breathe Deeply & Slowly
Practicing and implementing diaphragmatic breathing and maintaining a 10-12 breath per minute breathing rate does wonders for your nervous system.

Small habits lead to big changes.

TMJ pain is almost always a muscle and function problem.
We are talking about >90% of time.

The tongue plays a huge role in how those muscles work.

When the tongue is weak, the jaw and face pick up the extra work.
Your jaw muscles feel tight.
Your clenching gets worse.
Your bite feels “off.”

It feels like you need something… like an appliance or guard to fix it.

But if the tongue can’t support your jaw with correct tongue posture,
If you’re constantly recruiting other muscles to help out,
If your jaw muscles are always turning on…

Your jaw never gets a break.

That’s why tongue strength is one of the biggest missing pieces in TMJD care.

Strength changes function.
Function changes symptoms.

Real relief doesn’t come from another device or fixing your bite.

It comes from retraining your jaw, tongue, face and neck muscles.

If you have TMJ pain and can’t breathe through your nose…

That’s a good place to start!

When your nose is blocked (winter colds, dry air, allergies), you switch to mouth breathing.

And mouth breathing =
more jaw tension
more clenching
more facial tightness
more TMJ pain

This is why so many of my top TMJ products look are for your nose

Your airway and your jaw are connected.

When you don’t use your nose, your jaw muscles step in to help you breathe… and they get tired fast.

That’s why things like:

nasal oil

essential oil inhalers

neti pots

nasal dilators + breath strips

can make a HUGE difference for TMJD.

They help you breathe through your nose so your jaw can finally relax.

Pair that with magnesium lotion, ice packs, or a gua sha roller and you get even more relief with simple, low-cost tools.

Support your nose.
Protect your jaw.
Relief starts with better airflow.

Your TMJ disc might not be stuck…
Your lateral pterygoid might be pulling it forward. 😬

This muscle-disc connection is often the real culprit behind anterior disc displacement and jaw pain.

Easily addressed with exercises vs a night guard, TMJ splint or surgical procedure.

It’s common with TMJ/TMD for the joints and muscles to have decreased proprioception- your brain’s ability to sense the jaw’s position – your teeth, tongue, and cheeks are more likely to get accidentally caught during movement.

How to improve TMJ proprioception:
✔️ Controlled jaw movement exercises
✔️ Tongue and facial awareness drills
✔️ Breathing and oral posture training
✔️ Reducing clenching habits and oral habits

This is one of the most overlooked factors in TMJ dysfunction and if it was just addressed, it would make such a huge difference in how you feel.
