How to do this exercise:

Option 1:
Place both hands alongside the lower jawbone and open the mouth wide while the arms move upwards and backwards to apply (guide) careful gentle pressure directed towards the TMJ (jaw-joint). First close the mouth actively and slowly then guide this movement with a gentle extra pressure. The head is kept in position to have a certain counter-pressure during this exercise. Repeat this action several times and it should not be too unpleasant or painful.

It is possible that, while doing this exercise, one experiences some crackling sounds within the joint therefore do the exercise always slowly and carefully.

Time required: approx. 30 seconds (longer if necessary)

 

Option 2:
Place both hands with the ball of thumb left and right direktly next (= on) the TMJ (jaw-joint). Now open and close the mouth several times reasonable wide and apply careful gentle pressure directed to the center onto the joint. This pressure can be gradually increased but should be reduced back to a tolerable level in case of uncomfortable feelings or pain.

The ball of thumbs should be positioned so you feel the pressure being centered onto the joint which can be tried out by small changes in the handposition during the movement.

Time required: approx. 30 seconds (longer if necessary)
