I'm glad you said it was not an easy movement to find. When I try it, it's like I might as well be trying to bend my knee in the wrong direction. My body just says this is not the way I was made to move. Even when I hold one hand near one ear and push my opposite jaw with my other hand, that is the case. I trust if I keep trying, even if I don't see any correct movement, my body will get the idea that this is possible. Is that true? Or is this a sign that maybe my neck muscles need something else first. I know I have cervical stenosis somewhere around C-5 if that has any relevance.
I suspect that this is a much needed exercise for me. I’m finding impossible to move my head in a lateral movement without also turning my chin sidewise. Therefore it is helpful to know that by pushing on my jaw, I can start the process. In fact, just doing that seemed to relieve some of my neck and jaw discomfort. Thank you!
