Don't let TMJ or TMD jaw pain get you down! Get relief with physical therapy exercises that can reduce jaw clicking and tension. Join me on this journey to a pain-free, healthy bite. Together we'll explore these simple moves that can bring relief and help you feel your best again.
Setup:
-Begin sitting upright.
Movement:
-Place three fingertips just below each of your cheekbones so they are resting on the soft part of your jaw and in front of the jaw joint. Press your fingertips towards each other gently, as if you are squeezing a balloon, and pull gently towards the floor, allowing your jaw to softly open. Hold for at least 60 to 90 seconds, then relax and repeat.
Tip
Try to release your jaw into the stretch and let your tongue hang out. Do not hold your jaw open. Instead, allow your jaw to release naturally as if you are falling asleep in a chair.
