The exercise emphasizes tongue control instead of compensation from the jaw, neck, or surrounding muscles. Forcing the reach is discouraged because the goal is to isolate tongue movement. Jaw motion should be minimized during the exercise. Excessive jaw movement is undesirable because it activates jaw and neck muscles too much. Jaw movement should be minimized during the forward-and-up tongue reach.
