Let your brain rewire your pain.

Let your brain rewire your pain.

You're so ready to feel relief from jaw and neck pain!

But instead, you wake up in the morning, fatigued, with a sore jaw and face from grinding your teeth while you sleep. You’re resigned to expect headaches, tension in your neck and shoulders and popping, clicking and tenderness.

 

Do any of these sound familiar?

✔ You've tried the medical and dental route

✔ You've tried massage, physical therapy, stretches or acupuncture

✔ You've tried medication and meditation

✔ You've tried yoga and deep breathing and having a positive attitude

 

And even when something has helped, it was temporary.

✔ Massage or deep pressure only lasts a few days

✔ You feel dependent on "experts" to "fix" you

✔ You're worried the symptoms will only worsen with time

✔ You're anxious that the next step is constant medication or tolerating the pain

 

 

Sometimes you feel it's hopeless.

But it’s not. You just need a more holistic approach.
 

You were following what you were told would help you — tissue manipulation and masking the pain. 

 

But there’s another way — a method that uses the innate intelligence of your own brain and nervous system to give you almost immediate relief. A method that uses “neuroplasticity” — the ability for your brain to change.

 

Imagine what it would feel like if you knew exactly what to do each day to gradually and permanently find relief for your jaw pain and related symptoms.

What if I told you that you could...

✔ Find permanent relief and freedom and mobility in your jaw 

✔ Feel freedom and ease  in your neck, shoulders and spine

✔ Wake up with little or no muscle tension in your jaw and neck

✔ Be free from headaches, facial pain and tinnitus

✔ Maintain on your own without being dependent on a "practitioner"

LET ME EXPLAIN...

Your brain is always working for your benefit!

At one point in time, possibly at a time in life when you experienced physical or mental stress, the muscles of your face, neck and jaw contracted. These neural connections were reinforced over a period of time -- and as the neurons continued to "wire together," the muscles of your face, neck and jaw continued to "fire together." The pattern was repeated unconsciously, day after day, and your jaw, neck and facial tension patterns became habitual. 

 

The good news is that when you work with your brain -- the source where the "wiring instructions" were established initially, then muscle tension can be released almost spontaneously and permanently.

 

HOW IS THIS METHOD DIFFERENT?

And how does it work?

This method has nothing to do with stretching or physical therapy or medical intervention, medication or meditation. 

 

In this method you’ll pay focused attention to yourself as you make very small, slow, gentle movements. You’ll work with your brain and nervous system — the control center for your entire body that gives every muscle the direction to either engage or let go.

 

You’ll become aware of the many subtle places where you hold tension unconsciously — in your jaw, face, neck, tongue.…

 

And as your nervous system senses and lets go of unnecessary tension, strain and effort, the movement of your mouth and jaw will almost immediately become easier and more comfortable.

 

The old, unconscious habitual muscle patterns of tension that feel “normal” to you will spontaneously let go and be replaced with new healthier neural pathways.

(Wow, that’s a lot to take in, I know.) 

 

In this method, you’ll begin to recognize and let go of these old, 
unnecessary unconscious tension patterns.

 

With each week of consistently practicing the lessons in this course, your brain will become wired in a new healthy way. 

 

As you let go of tension in your jaw and neck and throughout your entire body, and as you begin to experience how your head, neck, spine and pelvis are connected and influence each other, your jaw will feel freer, more mobile and relaxed. 

 

 ✔ All of a sudden, you’ll realize that you haven’t had a migraine for weeks. 

✔ You'll wake up refreshed and tension-free because you’re sleeping more deeply. 

✔ The ringing in your ears will have subsided. 

✔ Your shoulders, neck and back will feel more relaxed.

 

This is not like anything you’ve ever tried before. This is not tissue manipulation or forcing your muscles or bones to do something. 

 

We are working with your brain to interrupt the old stress patterns you’ve been practicing unconsciously for years, and replacing them with new relaxed muscle patterns.

 

You want freedom and ease in your mouth, jaw and neck.

 

It’s time to stop doing what you’ve been doing and try something that works directly with the control center of your entire body — your brain.

 

Are you ready to stop pretending that this will go away on its own
and try something you haven't tried before?

 

All the massage or deep pressure in the world won’t make these symptoms go away permanently.
You might feel better for a few days, but because you’re working on the tissue level and not the level of the brain — the control center for your body— the tension patterns will revert to their old familiar habits.

 

I created this course because so many of my clients suffer with chronic jaw pain and TMD symptoms and there is a way to permanently heal this.  Only 4 things are required for it to work:

 

✔ Follow the instructions in the videos and recordings to the best of your ability

✔ Make very small, slow, comfortable movements so you can feel yourself as you make the movements

✔ Rest whenever you feel tired, discomfort, or your mind wanders

✔ Follow the recommendations for practicing lessons each week.

 

Consistent practice will guarantee your desired outcome!

As you  dive into the "Relieve your Jaw Pain" course, you'll discover how your entire body is connected.

Not only will your jaw and neck relax, but your shoulders,
spine, hips, and entire body will feel more freedom!

With "Relieve your Jaw Pain," you'll experience:

 

Relief from jaw muscle tension + pain + TMD-related symptoms

Tools to empower you so that you're not dependent on practitioners

Relief from chronic pain in other parts of your body that you didn't realize was related

“I've lived with chronic tension on the right side of my jaw, neck, and shoulder for many years, and more recently, developed tinnitus in my right ear. Yoga and massage help, but the results are short-lived. 

After taking the “Relieve your jaw pain” course, and practicing the lessons as recommended, the muscles underneath my chin and along the front of my neck felt more supple and longer. My jaw, neck, and shoulder move with much more ease now, and I've noticed that the ringing in my ear has subsided.

Now, whenever I start to feel that old familiar tightness in my jaw and neck, I practice a recording and nip it in the bud. It’s amazing to learn that relief is possible.”

 

— Kathy F., Washington, DC

"I took Susan’s Jaw + Neck series, and it was different from any other treatment I had experienced. I found the process fascinating, and I’m so glad that I took the online course.

 

I have always had jaws that popped when I opened my mouth wide enough. They didn’t hurt and it was normal for me. Several years ago, however, my right jaw stopped popping. No matter how wide I opened my mouth, it wouldn’t pop any more, but my left jaw still popped.

 

I also have chronic neck problems, some congenital and some the result of a car accident. Everything—neck pain, tight jaw, and spasming jaw muscle—is all on my right side. Generally speaking, I have just lived with it all, treating anything that hurts more than usual with ice or Tylenol.

 

One of the main things that works so well is just taking the time to focus that much time and attention on a problem you are having with your body. Secondly, Susan’s wonderful manner, calm voice, direct instructions, and clear knowledge of the subject helps you relax right away and listen to what she has to say. Lastly, gaining an understanding of how everything truly is connected in the body, and how focusing on different areas of the body—other than the jaw + neck—yielded real results.

 

Since I’ve taken the course, I find myself reaching into the bag of techniques I learned as I need them. I spend a lot of time working on the computer, so the lesson on eye movement is extremely helpful. Learning to relax my jaw and consciously being aware of when I tense it is key to less jaw and neck pain for me. 

 

If you are considering whether to take a course with Susan, I would strongly encourage you to do it. You’ll be glad you did. I know I am."

  • You have frequent headaches or ringing in your ears

  • You have jaw, neck & shoulder pain

  • You can't open your mouth wide enough to yawn, laugh or take a large bite

  • You've tried every "modality" and nothing works or lasts longer than a few days

  • You feel defeated and like this will never change

   after

Your life after "Relieve your Jaw Pain":

  • You find you're waking up refreshed and tension-free

  • You experience the freedom that comes with a mobile spine as well as jaw!

  • Your headaches are less frequent or gone

  • You're spontaneously opening your mouth wider 

  • You feel empowered -- you have the trust and tools that you can manage any tension that arises BEFORE it becomes constricting

  • You literally feel 10 years younger

  • You have tools to help you manage your stress 

Here's what you'll be learning:

1. Primary Movements of the Jaw

 

In this lesson, you’ll gently and slowly explore the main movements your jaw is capable of making, without any pain, tension, forcing or stretching. 

2. Movements of the Jaw and Head

 

In this lesson you’ll do movements that will relieve some chronic patterns of unnecessary muscular contractions that are commonly found in people who experience jaw pain and other TMD symptoms.

 

3. Movements of the Jaw and Neck

 

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to relax your jaw, and experience how a relaxed jaw has a strong influence on the comfort of your neck and shoulders.

 

4. Movements of the Jaw and Tongue

 

In this lesson, you'll experience how a relaxing your tongue, the largest muscle of the head, significantly influences the tension in the jaw, neck and face.

5. Movements of the Jaw and Eyes

 

In this lesson, you'll feel how as your eyes begin to relax, the smaller muscles of the face relax and much of the tension associated with jaw pain will also begin to disappear. 

6. Movements of the Jaw and Spine

 

In this lesson, your neuromuscular system will learn to create greater flexibility and ease of movement in your jaw by coordinating the movement of your head and neck with your spine and pelvis.

7. The Pelvic Clock

 

After this lesson, you may notice feeling freer and easier movement in your pelvis, hip joints and lower back. And you’ll see how having more mobility and freedom and comfort in your pelvis allows your jaw and neck to feel freer.

8. Final Integration

 

This integrative lesson will help you to have a wider perspective of how your pelvis influences the movement and freedom of your spine, your neck, your head, and your jaw.

"I've had migraine headaches all my life, and a year ago, they were sometimes happening two to four times a week.

 

I've also had neck pain from whiplash as the result of a long ago car accident in a seven-car pile-up on a highway. In addition, I clenched my teeth so much that my dentist prescribed a mouth guard to wear to bed each night. When I took this heavy plastic apparatus with me to dental cleanings, it was so chewed up that my dentist said it looked like it had been through a war. The xrays showed that not only the bite surfaces of my teeth were affected, but even the roots were damaged!

 

Other than strong medication that put me in bed for a day or more, nothing prescribed by doctors helped my headaches and my teeth grinding, that perhaps was one cause of my headaches, continued.

 

Fortunately, I found Susan’s series of classes for jaw pain relief. Her explanation of how this method is not a regular exercise class, but a method to rewire the brain, helped me trust it was nothing I’d done before. 

 

At first it seemed like taking another online course would be too much, but the recorded lessons allowed me to practice when it fit my schedule. And the more often I practiced, the more improvements and relief I noticed.

 

I found that gradually, by practicing the lessons as instructed, I became totally migraine free and my teeth grinding declined without my even realizing it.

 

The cost of these lessons is much less than individual massage or other “cures” I have tried over the years. It is well worth it for me to feel so good. I am much more efficient and happy being pain free."

How much time will it take for me to begin to feel results?

 

Most people feel some level of relief immediately following or within a day after their first lesson.

 

If you've been living with TMD symptoms and jaw pain for several years, then, as you would expect, it might take several weeks to feel sustained improvement. But you will most likely feel tension releasing right away -- enough to encourage you to keep practicing the lessons and moving forward. 

 

The most benefits will come from practicing the recorded lessons as instructed:
a minimum of 3-4X/week in addition to small pieces of the lessons using the "cheat sheets" 2-3X/week. The most important thing is to commit to the process and practice the lessons regularly and consistently in order to reinforce the new neural pathways and override the old, familiar painful neural connections.

 

Students tell me they are so encouraged by the gradual but steady relief they feel, that they're motivated and willing to build consistent practice into their daily lives. 

 

YOU CAN DO THE COURSE FROM HOME, FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, AND ON YOUR SCHEDULE.

 

This course is all accessible online and the lessons can be downloaded for your convenience. PDF "cheat sheets" for each lesson can be printed out for easy practice on days when your schedule is tighter!

Don't put it off another day!

 

There's never been a better time to change your unconscious patterns of jaw tension and pain. 

 

You have two choices:

​

You can wait another 6 months and you'll be exactly where you are now.

 

Or you can start this process today and in 3 or 6 months, you'll be significantly more comfortable: 

  • You'll wake up feeling refreshed in the morning
  • You'll have more energy because you're not spending unconscious effort managing your pain
  • Your TMD symptoms (migraines, neck and shoulder pain, facial tension and soreness, tinnitus) will be lessened or a distant memory

If you don't act, nothing will change.
6 months from now, you’ll wish you had started today!

"For several years, I have encountered neck and shoulder discomfort on a daily basis. I have tried physical therapy, acupuncture, and massages. None have had sustaining effects. Then I noticed Susan’s offer on Facebook and thought "Relief from neck pain? Yes, please!!" 

 

As a teacher myself, I found Susan’s instructions to be clear and easy to follow. Her calm, soft-spoken, manner creates tranquil lessons.  She is receptive to inquiries regarding concerns or discomfort while performing the movements and offers modifications. 

 

At first, I was uncertain whether the lessons were beneficial. However, during the third or fourth lesson, I found the series of movements instrumental.  I obtained a significant change to my neck mobility, as well as, it being pain free. I can now use the recordings of lessons  in small snippets or whole to refresh my memory of the movements and maintain this level of comfort."

YOU CAN DO THIS, EVEN IF YOU'RE BUSY...

I don't have enough time. 

 

 

You're already spending time and energy managing your symptoms of TMD. You're taking time out of your life to meet with "experts" to "fix" you and you're dependent on them
for relief. 

Yes, you will need to commit to yourself to practice the lessons regularly-- at least for the first 2 months. And if you've been living with jaw tension and pain for several years, you might be required to practice for several months.
But you'll notice the tension and pain lessening, loosening, and other symptoms going away as you change your tension patterns,
one day at a time.

 

And one other benefit of these lessons is that you'll find they're a way to manage the stress and anxiety that may have contributed to your jaw tension to begin with.

I don't have the money

 

 

You already spend money on doctors, physical therapists and related practitioners and medical apparatus to help you manage your jaw pain and related symptoms. 

 

This course is less than the cost of 3 massages and is designed to help you get the maximum benefits -- not only to free your jaw and neck, but also to give you relief in your shoulders, back and hips. Because we're a connected whole person, not unrelated parts and pieces, the benefits and relaxation you'll experience will be general as well as specific.

I don't understandhow this works

 

 

It's not necessary to understand, agree with, or believe in this method for it to work. The only requirement is to be willing and open to try something new. In fact, why would you bother to spend more time and money on something you've already tried that has left you feeling
the same?

 

Commit to putting aside 30 minutes
3-5 days each week plus a few minutes throughout another few days to practice the lessons. My prediction is that as you experience relief from pain and tension and observe the symptoms being alleviated, you'll make your practice sessions a priority.

7-day money back guarantee
 

I believe whole-heartedly in the "Relieve your Jaw Pain" system. If you implement my system in full for 7 days, and do not feel any relief of tension, I will refund you your money.

Here's what happens when you sign up: 
 

1. You'll receive an email from me welcoming you to the course!

Meet your teacher! I'm Susan!

Your well being is my life work.

 

Maybe you suffer from Jaw tension or chronic paid caused by TMD symptoms. Or maybe you’ve experienced an injury or are constantly hunched over your desk and you’ve forgotten what it’s like to feel at ease and safe in your own body. 

 

I felt that way, too, before I embarked on my Feldenkrais journey in 2014. But I was amazed at the ease and comfort I felt in my body after just one Feldenkrais lesson. I know you will be, too. 

 

I personally experienced the spontaneous improvements that can occur effortlessly from working directly with the brain — the master controller of all our body systems. I learned to simply pay attention to my own physical sensations and comfort through practicing small, gentle, seemingly meaningless movements. 

 

Since 2003, I’ve dedicated my life to helping people feel at ease in their bodies as a certified yoga teacher, craniosacral therapist and therapeutic massage therapist—and now a practitioner for Feldenkrais Method®.

 

In this step-by-step course that utilizes the holistic principals of The Feldenkrais Method®, you'll learn a gentle, yet powerful way to relieve chronic pain and tension
