- “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him
how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”This sim- ple
Chinese proverb fits Gail Falzon’s philosophy. She’s a
nurse and the inventor of the MyoFree® tool and
Inside-OutsideTM technique a system that helps people with
Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction or TMJ. When the
MyoFree® massage tool is used correctly, patients will be
free of the muscle pain and spasm associated with TMJ. Read more >>

- We have all heard this message before and most of us would
attest to the validity of this statement. It is with this
philosophical message in mind that we present our first
clinical report on a product that is not at all
representative of high technology. It is not expensive, not
technically difficult to use, does not require professional
study or a degree as a prerequisite for use and, all in all,
has little glamour. It is, I believe, a good current day
example of teaching pa- tients how to treat themselves. The
device itself is actually quite unimpressive by first
appearance and it would be quite natural for many to
relegate in the realm of “clinical junk.” I would,
however, caution those who might be drawn to this
conclusion. The instrument is called the MyoFreeTM (see
Figure 1) and is a tool that uses intra-oral ischemic
compression (pressure) to obliterate trigger points that can
be the source of pain and dysfunction in the jaw and face.
This instrument that can be used at home by the patient to
treat intra-muscular trigger points (TPs) around the
tempero-mandibular joint that often play a role in clinical
TMJ syndrome. Read more >>
