“Muscles that are especially vulnerable should be treated before you play as well as afterward.”
Clair Davies, The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief

“The function of the lateral pterygoid muscles is to help the digastric muscles open the jaw as well as project the lower jaw forward. When only one side of the lateral pterygoid contracts, it causes a lateral, or sideways, deviation of the jaw to the opposite side. Malocclusion, or mismatching bite of the top and bottom teeth, can occur with trigger points in these muscles. Trigger points are created in the lateral pterygoids when you have trouble breathing through your nose and must keep your mouth open in order to breathe. Satellite trigger points set up in the front of the face by the lateral pterygoids may account for much of the face pain that comes with allergies. Major dental work that stresses jaw muscles by requiring you to hold your mouth open for long periods of time can be the unsuspected cause of long-term chronic pain in the face and jaws. Trigger points in masseter and temporalis muscles can cause trigger points to develop in the lateral pterygoids by making them work harder to open the mouth (Simons, Travell, and Simons 1999).”
Clair Davies, The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief

“The other pterygoid muscle, the lateral pterygoid, is the number one myofascial source of pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction (figure 4.45). Constant trigger point–generated tension in the lateral pterygoids tends to pull the lower jaw forward and disarticulate, or partially dislocate, the joint. Popping or clicking in the jaw is the result of this and displacement of the meniscus, which is the articular disc that separates the jaw bone from the skull and allows for movement in the joint. As with the masseter, trigger points in the lateral pterygoid refer pain to the cheek, mimicking sinus pain. They can also stimulate sinus secretions. Many “sinus attacks” are simply the effects of lateral pterygoid trigger points (Simons, Travell, and Simons 1999; Reynolds 1981; Marbach 1972).”
