 Re: Facial-Flex for toning Orbicularis oris muscle

Hi Paul,

I seem to have a huge problem with biting and I think it's because my Orbicularis oris muscle is not very strong. I have a feeling that if I can exercise it really well then the biting will not be a problem any more.

I've switched to double lip just now, which takes biting out of the equation entirely and forces me to strengthen the Orbicularis oris muscle with every minute of playing that I do. I find that really effective for sorting this out.

I just wondered if there was some good way to work the muscle while I'm doing other stuff like typing.

I did try the exercise that Michael Lowenstern recommends but it doesn't come anywhere near to getting the kind of strength that I want for double lip.

I also saw the "stop biting" video, but I didn't really get it.

I think I just need to find a way to really strengthen that muscle.

The one video that really hits the spot for me is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vsDULB-qXo&list=RDwmcXs4-HsK0&index=14

Doing that exercise double lip is incredble for strengthening the right muscle.

It's again not an exercise that I can do while typing though as it requires me to have a clarinet in my hand.

Jen
