A friend asked me if physical therapy treatments are helpful with masticatory myositis?
Didn't see anything except treatments with medication in a brief online search, so I am turning to the expert!
Thanks for your input -

Masticatory Myositis
Re: Masticatory Myositis
Hey there!
I would treat like I would for any other inflammation.
Heavy doses of laser.
MAYBE gentle massage of MFR around the head and neck
And some active chewing / mouth exercises (i.e. peanut butter on the lips)… just just small amounts of this, as too much might flare.
And yes… WITH medication.
That’s about all I’ve got!
