Sharing with Men's Health, Reavy said it is possible to identify a person with headaches by observing the shoulder, neck and especially the jaw line with stiffness. According to physiotherapists, rigid jaws can cause a chain reaction, affecting other muscles in the head and neck, thereby causing headaches.
To relieve headaches, Reavy recommends taking the following 3 steps:
- Gently press on the muscle area of the bite at the intersection of the jawbone and cheek.
- Open your mouth as loud as possible.
- Close.
Repeat these three steps over and over again until you feel your jaw loosening. Do it a few times a day, especially for people who tend to grind their teeth if they are stressed. In addition to reducing headaches, the exercise also improves the temporal jaw disorder.
