Summary of The Symmetry 101 full routine!

Key Wellness Strategies and Self-Care Techniques:

• Understanding TMJ and Dental Occlusion:
  • Importance of the TMJ in facial symmetry and dental occlusion.
• Targeting Key Muscles:
  • Focus on the sternal clavicular mastoid muscle and its connection to the TMJ.
• Myofascial Release:
  • Exercises involving slow opening and closing of the mouth to restore lost function and relieve tension.
• Physical Therapy Exercises:
  • Specific exercises to relieve tension in the neck and jaw.
  • Importance of addressing body asymmetry (e.g., scoliosis, pelvic tilt) as it can lead to facial asymmetry.
• Strengthening Exercises:
  • Jaw movements (opening/closing, lateral movements) to strengthen the pterygoid muscles.
  • Resistance training by applying pressure beneath the chin during jaw movements.
• Trigger Point Therapy:
  • Applying direct pressure and gentle massage on the TMJ and associated muscles.
• Splint Therapy:
  • Wearing a dental splint to reduce overactivity in the jaw muscles (optional).
• Exercise Frequency:
  • Suggested practice of exercises 2-3 times a week, with a recommendation to alternate days for recovery.
  • Importance of customizing the frequency based on individual TMJ severity and personal comfort.

Additional Considerations:

• Addressing Underlying Issues:
  • Consideration of factors contributing to TMJ and facial asymmetry, such as genetics, diet, sleep, and posture.
• Long-term Focus:
  • Emphasis on the need for a holistic approach, addressing body alignment and posture to improve facial symmetry effectively.

In the video "The Symmetry 101 full routine," Mr. Wallace shares his daily facial exercise routine aimed at improving facial symmetry, relieving tension from TMJ (temporomandibular joint), and enhancing overall dental occlusion. He emphasizes that he is not an expert, but rather someone who conducts personal research and shares findings.

— 13:49 — « If you have this issue, it's always best to try to find ways to solve it before it gets worse because it always gets worse in its own. »
