Details

Begin sitting upright.

Use your thumb of your opposite hand to reach far back into your cheek.

Gently bite to feel the muscle contract, and locate a tender spot.

Gently pinch the muscle and hold the same pressure while your jaw muscles are relaxed.

A typical hold is 60 seconds.

Make sure to use just enough pressure that you feel a stretch, but no pain.

Wash your hands or wear gloves before starting the exercise.

And share this video with someone that needs it.

Do this exercise 1-2x a Day
