In this short instructional video, the presenter walks through the third level of a jaw‑neck exercise progression aimed at relieving neck pain. The key instruction is to add gentle manual resistance to the jaw’s side‑to‑side and forward‑backward movements using the hands, provided the motion does not cause jaw pain. This added load is intended to recruit more muscle fibers and enhance mobility. After performing the resisted movements, viewers are advised to reassess how the jaw feels; if improvement is noted, the exercise can be repeated multiple times throughout the day. The overall message emphasizes a gradual, pain‑free increase in resistance as a therapeutic strategy for neck discomfort.

Now, the 3rd level of this is going to be adding a little bit of resistance to this. So as long as there's no pain in the jaw with that movement, we can start doing those movements with a little resistance from our hands. So if we're going side to side, we can do it by resisting with our hands here. And you can do the same thing forward and backwards. And now we've added a little bit more load, which is going to activate more muscles and get more things moving in there. So once again, once we've done that, we're going to reassess, see how it feels, and if we've improved, then this is something you can go to multiple times a day. Give this a try.
