Question

Asked for Male, 20 Years

I am suffering from jaw disorder and being treated for it by tmj specialist and orthodontist. I listen various type sounds from my neck (during stretching) and jaw muscle (during massage ). I want to know about the relation between posture and tmj disorder. What precautions and advice should I follow for quick recovery and to avoid any harm? How can I judge about my present condition i.e. whether my condition is improving or going towards worse? Please help me and clear my confusion...
