Team Jaw tutorial

At Muscle Therapy Australia we have regular team sharing sessions and tutorials. This week we were focussing on the jaw. WIth the current lockdown we are seeing more and more clients with jaw/ TMJ tension from stress and poor posture from working from home.

We reviewed some intra-oral massage techniques for the jaw which involve releasing some muscles in the mouth including the lateral and medial pterygoids.

Then Mark showed off his tongue pulling techniques to help release the jaw and vocal chords. This can be especially helpful for singers, people with jaw and throat pain as well as strained voices and muscle tension dysphonia.

And finally Mark made Laura pull funny faces with his magic wands. The magic wands are gentle massage tools that can help to release these muscles of the face and jaw. It feels great.

Thanks to Laura for donating her body to science and being a great model.
