In today’s episode, we’re diving into everything you need to know about TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders. Drawing from years of experience and the latest advancements in therapy, I’ll discuss how TMJ affects the muscles we use for chewing, why clenching and grinding can worsen the problem, and how a multifaceted approach—using therapies like shockwave and laser—can provide long-lasting relief. Whether you’re dealing with jaw pain, headaches, or tension from stress, this episode will guide you through effective solutions. Key Highlights: Traditional TMJ Treatments: Muscle work, adjustments, and at-home exercises remain foundational. Advancements in Therapy: Shockwave therapy for targeted muscle relief. Laser therapy to reduce inflammation in areas like the temporalis muscle. Muscle Focus: Masseter (jaw) and temporalis (above the ear) muscles are primary targets for treatment. Sternocleidomastoid muscle (neck to collarbone) is often overlooked but closely linked to TMJ pain and headaches. Clenching Awareness: Many people are unaware of daytime clenching until pointed out, making it easier to address. Nighttime clenching, often stress-related, requires additional interventions. Stress Management: Downregulating the nervous system before bed helps reduce nighttime grinding and clenching. Comprehensive Approach: A combination of manual therapies, advanced technology, and stress reduction techniques ensures the best long-term results. Conclusion: TMJ is a complex issue that affects multiple areas of the body, but with a well-rounded treatment plan, relief is possible.

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about pooping, pelvic floor, and back pain. Here, I discussed how your bowel movement can be connected to how your low back feels, your SI joint feels, and how your pelvic floor is functioning.

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about belly breathing versus 360 breathing because I haven’t done one in a while. It is one of the things that I do with every single patient who comes to my office. I deal with a lot of people who are stressed, have pelvic floor issues, and learning to breathe better is really going to help anyone.

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about the connection between the pelvic floor to your feet and jaw. The pelvic floor is actually broadly connected to many parts of your body and I wanted to share how sometimes, we treat other areas of your body that are not even anywhere near the pelvic floor but have a direct correlation with it. I talked about how Anatomy Trains by Thomas Myers helped me understand how the pelvic floor is connected to our feet and our jaw so I decided to share it with you, too!

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about the connection between the pelvic floor and stress. I did a couple of podcasts separately for these two topics, but now I decided to combine them in one podcast since I see both issues show up a ton with patients. I also talked about the importance of proper breathing to help with the effects of having a shortened pelvic floor because of stress. In this episode we discuss: [00:37] Introduction to the topic [2:14] What happens to the pelvic floor when we are stressed [5:28] Shortening of the pelvic floor doesn’t always show up as incontinence [8:02] Long-term effects if you have incontinence or leakage [10:27] Breathing to get the elongated musculature of your pelvic floor [16:22] Conclusion If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you can send me a message through Facebook or Instagram .

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about reviews of some of the new products I got for the office. They are from the company called RockTape, and we do use a lot of their products in the office because they have a really good continuing education program aside from the Kinesio tape that they are so famous for. Here, I talked about the products and courses I love from RockTape and the new products I just got, which will dive into vibration versus percussion massage guns. Vibration has a lot of benefits and I hope you learn a lot from this episode. In this episode we discuss: [00:37] Introduction to the topic [3:34] The new products I got from RockTape and my reviews [5:39] Vibration vs Percussion Massage Guns [15:10] Conclusion If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you can send me a message through Facebook or Instagram .

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about grounding. I recently posted and asked people if they’ve done grounding that day. Many of them asked what is grounding so I thought I should talk about it in this podcast. I recently also got a pair of shoes from a company that I’ve used in the past and they are grounding footwear. I wanted to share how you can start using minimalist footwear, too. For this episode, though, I talked a lot about how grounding can benefit you and anyone of all ages.

With this, I hope to bring in more people to interview to educate you about treatments you’ve never heard of, different aspects of women’s health, and help you be more proactive with your body and your health overall.

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked my new pregnancy program. I talk a lot about C-section rehabilitation, pelvic floor issues, diastasis recti, and more. However, I wanted to find a program that is most suitable for pregnant patients since I work a lot with them. With the insurance system that we have, my pregnant patients will only come to me when they are already in pain. So, I wanted to have a program for them so they can work on certain exercises, mindset, and movements before they even have pain. The program will also prevent pain or issues, help moms deliver and recover easily, and avoid medical interventions.

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked more about medicine not being black and white. I already talked about this topic weeks ago when I told you guys about when I went for a check-up because I’ve been feeling fatigued. The PCP who saw me missed my issues with my thyroid, and I had to ask my Gynecologist during our yearly check-up to check if there is an issue in the area. She did find that after ordering me to get an ultrasound and it was confirmed when I underwent a biopsy and molecular testing. I wanted to talk more about this to dive into the other possible things you could consider if you have the same issues as mine. In this episode we discuss: [00:37] Introduction to the topic [1:44] One shade of grey in medicine based on my experience [5:05] Pushing a bit more when you know something is wrong [8:07] The problem with insurance companies [10:00] Conclusion If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you can send me a message through Facebook or Instagram .

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about what constitutes a pelvic floor issue. I think some people are misinformed about pelvic floor dysfunction and because they are misinformed, they are in denial about having an issue relating to this area.

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about healing, fertility, and pelvic health in relation to blood flow. The blood flow system and the lymph system work closely together. Since I already talked about the lymph system in an earlier podcast , I wanted to share about the blood flow system, too. Also, with women’s health, blood flow always kept popping up in my interviews with my patients, so I decided to share more about it here. In this episode, we discuss: [00:36] Introduction to the topic [2:10] Blood flow and fertility [4:07] The latest blood flow course by Dr. Perry Nicklesten [7:15] Blood flow and pelvic health [9:33] Blood flow and abdominal issues – whether digestive or reproductive [10:49] Blood flow and extremity issues [11:58] Conclusion If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you can send me a message through Facebook or Instagram .

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about medicine being gray and not black and white. I wanted to discuss what kinds of questions you need to be asking when you go to your doctor for an evaluation and when should you get a second opinion. I decided to do this because I recently went to a PCP appointment, which I haven’t gone to in a long time. When I got my results back, they were all normal, but I think it wasn’t a comprehensive process to take a look at a broader scope as to what has been causing my fatigue. Days after, I had my Gynecology yearly visit and my gynecologist found something that the PCP practitioner didn’t catch. Doctors are humans and they can miss things just as I missed some in my practice. I wanted to talk about this so that people will realize that medicine is grayer than we would like to believe. In this episode we discuss: [00:36] Introduction to the topic [7:30] Being persistent, asking for second opinion, and further testing when it comes to your health [13:31] Conclusion If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you can send me a message through Facebook or Instagram .

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about how prevention is so much easier than fixing a problem when it comes to pregnancy. It’s not usually how things happen in the office because people come to the clinic when they are already having an issue after talking to their OB-GYN. Another factor that creates this situation is the insurance system in our country. You cannot go and see a practitioner if you have no problems yet. That is why I wanted to talk about some tips to help pregnant women out there prepare their bodies so they can have an easy pregnancy. In this episode we discuss: [00:37] Introduction to the topic [2:22] Being active during pregnancy [4:17] Keeping your nervous system relaxed [5:29] Tapping into your core [8:13] Lying on your back [10:38] Rolling to your side before sitting up [11:22] Breathing [12:20] Conclusion If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you can send me a message through Facebook or Instagram .

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about some easy tips and tricks on how to help stimulate our lymph system at home. This stems from the fact that I just taught the first in-person yoga class since the beginning of the pandemic. One of the people in that class mentioned she was training for a race and she’s been feeling like her legs are heavy and congested. So, she wanted to know if I had suggestions regarding her concern as to better lymphatic movement. That is why I want to share these tips and tricks with you. Doing these things on your own, daily and consistently, will be very beneficial than just coming to see me once a month.

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about some tips and tricks for consistency. I give out exercises to every single patient that I have and sometimes, consistency becomes an issue. The biggest stumbling block that I believe why my patients fail to do what I ask them to do is because they think of it as exercises. In their mind, you have to allocate a special time of day, use special shoes and a special outfit, have a certain space, and the like. However, that should not be the case that’s why I made this podcast. I want you to know more about how you can make these little changes and shifting your mindset regarding these exercises.

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked how proper intra abdominal pressure helps with low back pain, prolapse, and hernias. In this episode I also talked about how different it looks in a variety of different ways. Women struggle to find that optimal pressurization in the abdomen post-partum even if they did not have a C-section. Poor engagement also comes from a person’s lifestyle because of improper pattern. In this episode we discuss: [00:36] Introduction to the topic [2:00] Things improper pressurization of the abdomen can cause [6:08] What you can do with these issues [13:45] Hernias – Who has this pressure problem [14:44] Disc Herniation – Another pressure problem [17:35] Conclusion If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you can send me a message through Facebook or Instagram .

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about hip flexors. This is an issue with all of my patients – kids, women, and men. People hear about it all the time but there is a tendency that they overstretch the hip flexors. In this podcast, I talked about where the hip flexors are, what constitutes them, and how we want to address them as it is different from one person to another. In this episode we discuss: [00:36] Introduction to the topic [1:38] Where are the hip flexors [6:01] What we do all day that affects our hip flexors [7:53] What we can do with our hip flexors [16:44] Conclusion If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you can send me a message through Facebook or Instagram .

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about having inflexible or weak feet possibly being the cause of your low back, knee, and pelvic floor pain. I posted on TikTok recently talking about your feet being strong and flexible. If you don’t have strong feet, you run the risk of losing the shock absorber for your body. Losing such can then lead to issues like plantar fasciitis, ankle pain, knee pain, hip pain, or even pelvic floor dysfunction. I wanted to talk about how you can slowly implement activities to make your feet stronger and more flexible.

I think it would be good to also talk about my father’s hip injury so I decided to make this podcast. He is really flexible for a guy and for a guy of his age. I am not sure if his injury was the same as the degenerative process that my hip has undergone as I was also hypermobile. He did not, however, do any sport that would require him to overstretch. As to the procedure, my father had a posterior hip replacement over a week ago.
