Why it worked
The video provides a relatable and visually engaging rating system for common TMJ treatments, offering practical advice and a unique perspective on fascial health that resonates with viewers experiencing similar issues.
Summary
The creator rates various TMJ treatments, giving "inside of the mouth massaging" a C, craniosacral a D, and not drinking coffee and mouth guards an F. They explain that clenching is often a breathing strategy due to fascial imbalances, and the only thing that truly helped them was learning to repattern their fascia to keep their airway open while sleeping.

Original caption
Your dentist's mouth guard is not a TMJ treatment, and I will die on this hill. It protects your teeth. That's real and worth doing. But it does not touch the reason you're clenching, and I have a hypothesis that it can actually increase the grinding because your nervous system is now working against a new obstacle. What blew my mind when I finally started understanding fascial patterning: clenching is often a breathing strategy. The front of the body collapses, the airway narrows, and the jaw grips to compensate. So telling someone to "manage stress" or quit coffee (F, by the way, I tried it, I was miserable, it changed nothing) is like telling someone with a broken leg to walk it off. You're not talking to the pattern. The pattern lives in the whole body, not the jaw. Comment REPATTERN to start understanding yours. All my love, Dr. Lily #bowspring #tmjrelief #carpaltunnelrelief #jawpain #chronicpainrelief
