If you’ve been through radiation, surgery, or treatment for head and neck cancer, you may notice changes in how your jaw and tongue move. Limited jaw opening, also called trismus, can make it harder to speak, eat, or swallow. The good news is that there are safe and simple exercises you can practice at home to support your recovery.

In this video, we’ll walk you through the Tongue Lingual Lateralization Exercise. This routine helps your tongue stretch and move more freely from side to side, improving flexibility and coordination. Even if your tongue doesn’t reach as far as you’d like at first, every practice session helps you get a little closer.

For patients dealing with trismus or limited jaw movement, we recommend two helpful resources:

-The ARK-J Wedge Trismus Stretching Device → https://www.headneckrehab.com/ARKJwedge
-Radiation-Associated Trismus Course → https://www.headneckrehab.com/offers/...


These tools are designed to help you safely improve jaw mobility, reduce stiffness, and learn daily habits that support long-term function.

Remember—you don’t have to do this alone. Stay consistent, be patient with your progress, and know that each exercise brings you one step closer to feeling more comfortable.
