How RESET Works
RESET is a simple, painless and effective
technique that can be used to heal yourself
and others. RESET directs this healing
energy through the muscles, nerves and
ligaments in the jaw to achieve a state of
balance quickly and easily.
Even though RESET is extremely powerful,
it is so simple that it can be used by anyone,
anywhere, anytime!
The jaw muscles hold tension and stress.
This is known to adversely affect learning,
posture, digestion and chronic pain.
When jaw muscles are deeply relaxed, the
tension and stress is released.
Empirical kinesiology testing shows that
relaxing the jaw muscles also balances over
90% of the muscles in the body.
As the muscles relax, stress and toxins are
released, restoring natural harmony to the
body.
Sphenoid Bone

Sphenoid Bone
Pituitary Gland
The Pituitary Gland
sits in the Sella
Turcica (Turkish
Saddle) above the
Sphenoid Bone.
Pituitary Gland
Torqueing or twisting of the sphenoid bone
may affect the function of the pituitary gland.
The pituitary gland is the master gland, so this
in turn affects hormones.
• Thyroid hormones
• Sex hormones
• Adrenal hormones
Balancing the Sphenoid
Theory:
RESET relaxes all the muscles around the
sphenoid allowing it to reset to its normal
position.
Kinergetics may further enhance this by
locating and clearing emotional trauma held
in the muscles.
The Temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
influences the body as a whole, including the
body’s skeletal, muscular, nervous and
meridian systems and the body's ability to
utilise water.
By relaxing the jaw muscles the TMJ is
correctly reset.
The TMJ, due to its central role in cranial
and spinal dynamics, affects the quality of
the brain/muscular feedback system.
The slightest tension in the jaw muscles can
alter the normal ‘balanced’ position of the
TMJ, causing confused electrical messages
to be relayed throughout the body.
The Trigeminal nerve is the largest of the cranial nerves, from its sensory
nuclei in the cerebral hemisphere, to C2, then the rest of the body. It has a
myriad of transportation routes, interconnections and sensory distribution to
and from most areas of the cranium including the TMJ. It has
proprioceptive input from, and motor innervation to, the Temporalis,
Masseter and Pterygoid muscles. It is intimately connected to the Lateral
Pterygoid and the complete craniosacral system, so any imbalance in the
TMJ will have widespread repercussions.
The Trigeminal nuclei have numerous interconnections with other central
nervous tract systems, one of which is the Reticular Activating System
(RAS). This primary defence and survival system initiates tension of the
muscles of mastication, the spinal and cranial dura, and the body fascia, to
hold the face and head together, and to stabilize and protect the brain, spinal
cord, and the sacro iliac and pelvic structures.
In an accident the jaw muscles will therefore tighten to protect the brain and
spine, a response Dr. Carl Ferreri, calls “Defensive Jaw.” This emotional
stress could still be held in the muscles years later, resulting in a chronically
“tense” jaw. RESET not only releases the muscle tension, but often results
in a release of long-held subconscious emotions.
The body's energy flow has been mapped out
in the Meridians of Chinese Acupuncture.
The Stomach, Small Intestine, Triple
Warmer, Gall Bladder and Large Intestine
Meridians run over the muscles around the
TMJ.
Touch For Health teaches 42 major muscle
tests, correlated to the 14 meridians. Ninety
percent of these muscles can be corrected
with RESET.
Empirical kinesiology testing has shown that
energising the jaw muscles balances the
Psoas and Sartorius muscles which relate to
the Kidneys and Adrenals, allowing the body
to utilise water more efficiently.
Hydration

nerve
impulse
conduction, biochemical reactions, and the
whole body, as water is the medium in which
our bodies operate.
The dynamic interactions between the TMJ, Sphenoid bone, and
Atlas (C1), affects the whole body via a variety of mechanisms
(e.g. Lovett Brother, sacro-occipital, vestibular-ocular reflexes
and respiratory and pelvic diaphragms). Any hypertonicity
(tightness) of the jaw muscles, especially the Lateral Pterygoids
and Temporalis, may cause “torqueing” or twisting of the
Sphenoid bone.
The Sphenoid is the key to cranial bone dynamics, as it is the
only bone in the cranium that articulates with every other cranial
bone except two of the facial bones. The Sphenoid is also the
"hanger" from which the skeletal system is aligned.
Resetting the TMJ muscles has a far-reaching impact on
conditions ranging from headaches to neck and lower back pain.
Hiatal Hernia, digestive valve function (ICV, etc.) and
sequencing the digestive tract function, are all affected by the
integrity and balance of the TMJ.
John Upledger's statement in his book
Craniosacral Therapy II, is of great
importance in relation to the TMJ System.
"We have found that the temporomandibular
joint possesses remarkable ability to adapt
and reconstruct, given the chance."
The TMJ System
The TMJ system consists mainly of bones,
ligaments, muscles, nerves, and the bilateral
joint and disc.
Bones
The Temporomandibular joints connect a single
jaw bone (Mandible) to two separate skull
bones (Temporal bones).
The joints therefore work in synchronicity each
affecting and accommodating the other.
The Temporal bone has a concave socket
(fossa) into which fits the rounded end of the
jaw (Mandibular condyle).
Joint Capsule
It is a synovial joint, containing two cavities
separated by a disc which allows the versatility of
movement of the joint, i.e. hinge, gliding and
rotational.
The joint surface is covered by fibrous tissue and
cartilage which supports regeneration and reduces
degeneration.
Synovial fluid is secreted inside the two cavities,
keeping the capsule inflated, and its circulation
lubricates and protects the joint.
Interarticular Disc
This oval shaped disc fits between the two
bones of the joint, preventing them from
wearing away.
It is thicker posteriorly, to prevent it moving
too far forward and helping it to move
backwards when the joint is compressed by
chewing or clenching the jaw. It is vascular,
has sensory receptors, nerves and
proprioceptors.
Ligaments
The disc is tightly bound and stabilised by
connective tissue. It is connected to the Lateral
Pterygoid muscle in the front, which pulls the disc
forward as it contracts and connected opposingly to
the Retrodiscal tissue in the back, which pulls the
disc backward as the muscle relaxes.
Collateral ligaments connect the disc to the jaw, so
as the jaw opens and shuts the disc moves forward
and backward, allowing the jaw to glide over the
temporal surface.
Muscles
The main muscles are:
Masseter, Temporalis, Medial and Lateral
Pterygoids, Sternocleidomastoid,
Digastricus and Upper Trapezius.
Nerves
The main nerve affecting the muscles, ligaments and the joint is
the Trigeminal nerve with its three divisions and numerous
interconnections with other central nervous system tracts.
It is the largest in diameter of the paired cranial nerves and from
its large sensory nuclei within the brain, it descends down to C2
where it then disperses. It receives sensory input from the TMJ
and receives proprioceptor input from the Masseter, Temporalis
and Pterygoids.
It provides motor innervation to the chewing muscles. Its
Mandibular division is intimately related to the Lateral
Pterygoid muscle which attaches directly to the TMJ disc.
Possible TMJ Symptoms

*Allergies. *Difficulty, noise or pain when chewing, opening,
closing or moving jaw sideways. *Abnormal sensations with jaw
movement. *Grinding or clenching of teeth. *Malocclusion.

*Teeth aching. *Digestive disorders.*Bladder problems. *Bedwetting. *Uterine prolapse. *Prostate problems *Growing pains.
*Osgood Schlatters disease. *Hiatal hernia. *Iliocecal valve

Possible Causes
*Car accident. *Whiplash. *Stress. *Knock to the head or jaw.
*Dental work: Braces, Jaw open too long, Too much force
extracting teeth, Injection of anaesthetic into jaw muscles,
Extraction of too many teeth, especially in children.
If you have ever knocked your jaw, been under tension, or had
any of the above, even as a child, the jaw muscles may have
become hypertonic (too tight) and could still be out of balance.
This puts stress on the TMJ, which, once released by RESET,
allows a return to balance and normal functioning. Imbalances in
the TMJ affect the whole body.
