Relax your jaw

Many people suffer from severe tension in the muscles and fascia around the jaw joint. With our three stretching exercises, you can relax the tissues. Find a high intensity in each exercise that allows you to breathe calmly.

Since the jaw joint is very mobile and relatively small, we recommend monitoring the intensity of the stretch in all exercises. You should be able to tolerate the pain of stretching during each exercise without feeling the desire to internally resist it. This will give the greatest effect: tense jaw muscles will relax more easily, you will counteract the tension in the jaw, and the pain will soon subside.

  1. Look straight ahead and tilt your head back slightly.
  2. Keep your fingers straight and spread your thumbs out to the sides, forming a right angle.
  3. Now place your hand on your lower jaw so that you can gently pull your chin. This opens the jaw and creates a stretch.
  4. Place your other hand on your forehead to prevent your head from tilting forward during this stretch.

Sciatica Machine Exercise

For a simple and effective stretch, we recommend our jaw retainer exercise:

  1. First, adjust the height of your jaw guard by placing the appropriate cork tips on the ceramic holder. Alternatively, use a bottle cap and cut it to reduce the height.
  2. Open your mouth as wide as possible and tilt your head back slightly.
  3. Place the jaw guard between your front teeth and hold it there for about 2 minutes. This allows you to easily and effortlessly stretch the muscles and fascia around the jaw joint.

Over time, your mouth will open wider and wider. Then use the larger cork parts of your jaw retainer for an even more effective stretch.
