TMJ and Your Workout: How Exercise Affects Jaw Health

Exercise can both help and worsen TMJ symptoms, depending on the type and intensity. High-impact activities that strain the neck and jaw may aggravate TMJ pain, while gentle movements like yoga can improve flexibility. If you exercise regularly, be mindful of jaw tension and posture.

Modifying workouts to avoid excessive strain on the TMJ can help prevent stiffness and discomfort. See a TMJ doctor nearby.
