What Steps Can You Take To Help Yourself?
- Maintain good posture by correcting any slouching so that your chin is level with the floor. This can help relax your muscles and provide more breathing room.
- Practice deep breathing techniques to open up your airways and calm the muscles in your jaw, neck, and shoulders. Consider trying exercises like the 4-7-8 or box breathing.
- Stretch your jaw to relieve muscular tension and improve blood circulation in the area. You can hold your mouth open wide for ten seconds at a time or massage the muscles surrounding your jaw.
- Learn to relax to reduce stress and tension, which can worsen TMJ issues. Consider activities like yoga, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation.
- Avoid activities that put extra strain on the muscles in your jaw, neck, and head. For instance, try to avoid gum chewing or teeth grinding, which can cause jaw clenching. If you spend extended periods sitting, like when watching TV or using a computer, try to take frequent breaks.
- Seek guidance from a physical therapist who can help improve your posture, breathing, jaw flexibility, and stress management. In addition to general exercises and stretches, a physical therapist can offer tailored guidance to help you manage your symptoms more effectively.
