Surface EMG Data Collection
For each subject, EMG activity was recorded from the left and right superficial masseter muscles using a multichannel EMG device.The EMG recordings were obtained with three repetitions during mandibular rest, and maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) in intercuspation (isometry) pre and post-treatment. The EMG data were recorded for 5 seconds, and three trials with 30 seconds of rest between contractions were performed \[Tosato, SENIAM\].
Static stretching
The participant was positioned supine for static stretching to be applied to the hamstring muscles. The physiotherapist flexed the participant's hip to the point where resistance to the movement was first observed, with the knee extended.At this point, after waiting for 40 seconds, it was returned to the previous position. This application was made on both sides \[Bretischwerdt\]. The technique was repeated three times, with a 15-second rest interval between each repetition.
Myofascial Release
For hamstring muscles, the participants were asked to assume a long sitting position on a firm, flat surface with their arms behind their backs and their body weight on their palms. A foam roller was placed under the hamstring muscles and slowly moved the tuberositas ischii popliteus back and forth with pressure for 4 minutes.
Pressure pain threshold
The pressure pain threshold was measured using a mechanical pressure algometer (model Baseline® Dolorimeters - Fabrication Enterprises Inc) with a contact head of 1 cm2 area.

Maximum Active Mouth Opening (MMO)
A tape measure was used to determine the maximum active mouth opening (MMO).

Hamstring Flexibility
The Maximal Hip Flexion Active Knee Extension (MHFAKE) Test, which is an adapted active knee extension test, was performed to evaluate the hamstring flexibility of the participant.
