Free how to video guides for at home physical therapy all in one place. No need to scroll through Reddit, Instagram, or YouTube anymore.

Side note: If you find these exercises helpful, check out the myTMJ Pen, a tool we designed, engineered, and manufacture right here in the US for people dealing with muscular TMD symptoms (muscle spasms/knots, headaches, frequent lockups, etc). 

Instructions

  • Follow along if you have TMJ or Jaw Pain! Begin sitting upright.
  • Place your fist under your chin and apply a gentle pressure as you try to open your jaw slightly. Hold for 3 seconds, and repeat for 2 sets of 10.
  • Make sure not to let your jaw shift to either side during the exercise.
