Posturepro on Instagram: "The temporalis and masseter muscles are key to the TMJ’s function, but if they’re imbalanced, it can cause TMJ disorders. The temporalis muscle elevates and retracts the jaw, while the masseter muscle elevates the jaw. If the temporalis and masseter muscles are tight or overdeveloped, they can cause the jaw to shift forward or to one side, which can result in a forward head posture. The tongue is an important muscle that helps to support the jaw and maintain proper alignment of the teeth and bite. When the tongue is in the correct position, it can help to balance the forces of the jaw muscles and reduce strain on the TMJ and associated muscles. When the tongue is in the incorrect position, it can contribute to imbalances in the jaw muscles and TMJ dysfunction.

NTsportstherapy on Instagram: "The masseter muscle can generate a powerful bite force, with some studies estimating it can exert pressures exceeding 200 pounds, highlighting its remarkable strength in facilitating chewing and jaw function.  This powerful muscle is involved in the process of mastication (chewing). It originates from the zygomatic arch of the skull and inserts into the mandible. Its contraction leads to the elevation of the mandible, causing closure of the jaw. This muscle's primary function is to facilitate the mechanical breakdown of food particles during chewing, contributing to the initial stages of digestion.  #MasseterMuscle #Mastication #JawFunction #Anatomy #Physiology #Digestion #SportsTherapy #Rehabilitation #InjuryRecovery #AthleteCare #PhysicalTherapy #ExerciseSc Mylohyoid Muscle, Suprahyoid Muscles, Posture Muscles, Hyoid Bone, Joints Anatomy, Sports Therapy, Amazing Body, Muscle Anatomy, Injury Recovery
