Tight Jaw Relief

Many of us clench our teeth during the day or grind them at night because of stress; poor posture can be the sneaky culprit of jaw tension. When the shoulders are rounded and the head sticks out — hey, text neck — the jaw has to support the head more than it should.

Note: Our Empress Wand is also incredible for this, it's even recommended by several dentists

TO PREPARE

1.
Locate the large muscle under the cheekbone and in front of the ear.

2.
Use the Pointed Tip of the tool to make little circles with medium to firm pressure. It should feel good!

3.
Move down to the meaty part of the muscle and press/rub again. You can open and close the jaw while you do this if it feels good.

4.
Move along the jawline toward the chin and press upward toward the muscle, releasing it there. (This is the attachment of the jaw muscle.)

5.
Using Comb Edge, start at the cheekbone and move down.
