A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask Your Surgeon: TMJ dysfunction can be related to a number of different causes requiring different approaches to treat the cause. Your best option is to return to the OMS who diagnosed your problem for specific instructions on exercise therapy to treat your problem rather than performing any exercises that could make your problem worse.
