Tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches often start with tightness in the jaw and neck — muscles you may not even realize you're clenching. Release guides you through a short daily stretching routine designed to help relieve that tension before it becomes a headache. Your jaw and neck will thank you! WHAT YOU GET • 8 guided exercises targeting the jaw (TMJ) and neck, based on commonly recommended physical therapy stretches • Step-by-step timer with animated illustrations for each exercise • A routine that takes less than 10 minutes a day • Streak tracking and a 7-day habit tracker to help you stay consistent • Morning and evening reminders so you don't forget • Full customization — adjust reps, hold times, or turn individual exercises on or off DESIGNED WITH YOUR PRIVACY IN MIND Release does not ask for your name, email, or any personal information. There is no account to create. No data leaves your phone — ever. The app works entirely offline with no internet connection required. The only optional permission is notifications, and only if you choose to enable reminders. COMPLETELY FREE There are no in-app purchases, no premium tier, no ads, and no subscriptions. Every feature is available from the moment you download it. IMPORTANT NOTE The exercises in this app are based on commonly recommended stretches for jaw and neck tension. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice. If you experience pain, dizziness, or unusual symptoms during any exercise, stop immediately and consult a healthcare provider.
