We are going to give you a simple exercise that opens up your throat and deals with one of the most common symptoms of TMJ: tense jaw muscles. The exercise you’re going to do shows you immediately how incredibly simple, how incredibly easy, how incredibly effective it is to start loosening up and strengthening these muscles.
Simply close your mouth and act like you are chewing gum. Chew like this for a minute or so at a time. To do the exercise right make sure your molars on both sides move apart a little, and then touch lightly again. Also notice that your lips are supposed to be closed the whole time.
This exercise is pretty easy on your jaw because you are not actually chewing anything, but you might still feel a little bit sore in the beginning. Just take it easy - maybe chew for only a few seconds in the beginning and then increase the time you exercise. You can make an “mmm” sound as you chew. This will open the throat better. Making an “mmm” sound is not necessary, it will just give the exercise extra boost.
