The Best Overall TMJ Exercises
Searching the internet you’ll find a lot of videos, articles and such, each detailing the best way to perform a certain kind of TMJ exercise. Some of these are good, and some are really bad, and can actually do damage! Before we get started, I want to point you in the direction of a book I’ve used in the past, that I KNOW works. It’s called the TMJ No More. Ok, let’s look at what I think is the best TMJ Exercise.
There are so many beneficial exercises you can do to help your TMJ, I could literally fill up an entire book. However, we’re only going to focus on 4 simple exercises that seem to work the best. We’ll keep it simple!
TMJ Exercises
1. Relax your jaw and open your mouth about ¼ of the way open
2. Place your index finger just to the right of your chin
3. Give a firm push to your jaw, pushing it left.
4. At the same time gently push back against your finger using your jaw
muscles. In a sense, don’t let your jaw move; just give equal pressure
between your finger and your jaw.
5. Hold this position for 5 seconds

3. Give a firm push to your jaw, pushing it up.
4. At the same time gently push back against your thumb using your jaw

NEXT
1. Relax your jaw and open your mouth about ¼ of the way open
2. Place your index finger in center/top portion of your chin
3. Give a firm push to your jaw, pushing it down.
4. At the same time gently push back against your thumb using your jaw
muscles. In a sense, don’t let your jaw move; just give equal pressure
between your finger and your jaw.
5. Hold this position for 5 seconds
That’s it! Again, simple but very powerful. We’re basically pushing left, right, up and down, for 5 seconds each.
This will help build up the strength of your jaw joint over a period of 4-6 weeks, although many people feel better after just a few days.
Once you’re finished with the 4-6 week period, stop the exercises. Or, you can stop sooner if your pain goes away.
If at any time in the future, your jaw begins to hurt, simply restart the plan again, beginning with week 1.
If your pain gets worse while doing these exercises, please stop and see your local dentist or physician. These TMJ Exercises are meant to help you, not make your pain worse
