Goldfish exercises (full opening)

Goldfish exercises (full-opening exercises) are one of the best ways to relieve temporomandibular joint pain (TMJ). The goal of these exercises is to open your mouth as far as possible while keeping your tongue on the roof of your mouth and the muscles around the joint relaxed. This exercise will help to stretch and strengthen the muscles that support your jaw, reducing tension and pain in your TMJ.

eye stretching

Stress can lead to eye strain and the tensing of the muscles around the eyes. This eye strain can be uncomfortable, and can include dry eyes, blurry visions and headaches. Stretching our eye muscles can help alleviate this discomfort, and improve blood flow and muscle tone, which helps to minimize eye strain.
