Can Stretching Your Hamstrings Unlock Your Jaw? Investigating the Surprising Connection Between Hamstring Flexibility and Jaw Function

The study found that the treatments significantly improved masseter muscle activity and knee extension flexibility, with mild enhancements in pain thresholds. However, there were no significant effects on jaw opening (MMO) or posture (TWD). The lack of significant differences between the groups suggests that both treatment protocolsare equally effective. These findings indicate the potential for incorporating the interventions into clinical practice to improve musculoskeletal function in both the jaw and lower limbs.
