E-Z Flex II is unique and offers great advantages over other exercise devices: � Air cushioned force is safe, gentle and flexible � Safety stops enable controlled progress toward improved jaw opening and function � Modified syringe hand pump allows user to have hands in a relaxed natural position away from the mouth during use � User can visually measure progress while using the device providing immediate feedback and control � Sustained stretch can be achieved without pressing on hand pump � Jaw muscle strengthening, with closure against gentle resistance can be performed by removing elastics. � Unique system of elastics permits control of jaw muscle toning. The more elastics that are removed, creates greater resistance to jaw closure, permitting a controlled progression of toning the muscles of the jaw.
