4 Exercises for Jaw (TMJ) Pain

Today’s video includes four exercises that can help reduce jaw or temporomandibular (TMJ) pain and improve jaw mobility and function.
Our two temporomandibular (TMJ) joints connect the mandible and the temporal bones together and allow a complex combination of hinge and gliding movements. The joints are composed of synovial fluid, cartilage and a joint capsule, like other synovial joints, but also contains a fibrocartilaginous disc.
Many people seek out care related to temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) each year. These issues can result from direct injury, inflammation of the joints and/or overuse of the region. Furthermore, sleep issues related to the jaw (grinding, clenching, etc) and painful neck problems can also contribute to jaw dysfunction.
