I occasionally suffer from jaw clicking: when I open the mouth, when chewing food, especially during stressful periods in my life. I've done excercises for the jaw, and they help, instantly: here's how one goes, 'keep the tip of tongue on soft palate, open mouth as far as it will go, hold for 5 secs, while tongue is in contact with palate. Relax, repeat'.
Here's my problem, and I know it happens when I do bodywork that's not 'CST' or 'RMAX': I cannot help trying to make 'funny' movements, of the exact kind that cause the clicks.
I think my mind goes: 'it works, but I don't have a clear picture where this goes next, why shouldn't I play?...'.
Does anyone have a suggestion, hopefully some insight that could quiet the inner monkey?
Thanks in advance for any help.
