Opening your mouth to relax your jaw is a simple yet effective technique for relieving jaw tension. Here's how to do it:
- Gently open your mouth: Start by slightly opening your mouth, as if you were going to yawn.
- Drop your jaw: Allow your lower jaw to drop naturally, without forcing it.
- Relax your tongue: Let your tongue rest comfortably in your mouth, without pushing it against your teeth.
- Maintain a comfortable position: Hold this position for a few seconds, breathing deeply and evenly.
- Repeat as needed: You can repeat this exercise several times throughout the day, especially when you feel jaw tightness.
This simple technique helps to stretch the muscles in your jaw, releasing tension and promoting relaxation.
