Resisted jaw opening exercises: Place your thumb under your chin and press upward while you slowly open your mouth. Hold for 5-10 seconds, then slowly close your mouth. Repeat 5-10 times.Chin tucks: Sit up straight with your shoulders relaxed. Pull your chin straight back, keeping your head level. Hold for 5-10 seconds, then relax. Repeat 5-10 times.Neck stretc: Gently tilt your head to the right, bringing your ear toward your shoulder. Hold for 10 seconds, then return to center. Repeat on the left side.
