Instructions
- Follow along if you have TMJ or Jaw Pain! Begin sitting upright with your tongue on the roof of your mouth.
- Place one hand on the same side between your ear and cheek. While keeping your jaw relaxed, apply gentle pressure to your upper jaw for a light stretch on either joint. Make sure to keep your neck stable. Do not allow your head to tilt.
- Make sure you move within a pain-free range of motion throughout the exercise. Tag someone who needs it.
