TMJ Pain Relief Exercises
Living with TMJ discomfort can feel like carrying tension in your jaw every moment of the day. Alongside advanced treatments like Botox and custom splints, simple daily exercises empower you to break the pain–tension cycle. Let’s walk through five targeted moves that relax overworked muscles, restore your range of motion, and set the stage for lasting relief.
Why it matters
A forward-head posture tightens neck and jaw muscles—fueling that stiff, achy feeling.
How to do it :
- Sit tall, shoulders relaxed.
- Gently draw your chin straight back—imagine creating a “double chin,” but without leaning forward.
- Hold for five seconds, then release fully.
- Repeat 10 times, twice a day, to re-train your posture and ease TMJ strain.
