Exercises for Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
These exercises allow you to release and regain control of the muscles in your jaw, neck, and shoulders.
When practiced daily, the exercises will release the chronic muscle tension that leads to temporomandibular joint disorders.
Please do the exercises extremely slowly and gently, as instructed,
and do not do them if you feel pain or discomfort.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Watch the Video Demonstration to get a basic understanding of the movements.
2. Then, lie down on your carpet or exercise mat and play the video again. This time, close your eyes and just listen to the audio while you practice the movements.
*The Jaw Exercises at the end of the video can be practiced lying down or sitting up, whichever you prefer.
3. Do not skip the standing awareness exercises before or after the movements. They are a critical part of the process of retraining your nervous system.
