Fix TMJ, Jaw Tension, and Headaches
I have a client who has jaw pain from clenching her teeth at night, so most times that she comes marching into my office she emphatically proclaims, "Julia, I need you to FIX MY FACE!"
While this always makes me laugh, there's some real truth to how serious the tension, stagnation, and dehydration in this area can be.
Face and scalp fascia felt like "the last frontier" for me last year. Of course I know that there's fascia around literally every single thing in our body, but I couldn't exactly press a lacrosse ball into my forehead and hope for the best, you know?
After doing research and experimentation, it turns out there's a bit of a different approach necessary when it comes to working fascia in these areas (but WOW, it's worth it!).
Addressing key areas like the SCMs, occipital bone, masseter, and platysma can make a significant impact on:
🔸Relieving headaches
🔸Improving TMJ and jaw pain
🔸Reducing the impact of teeth clenching
🔸Decreasing neck pain/tension
🔸Increasing blood flow to and lymphatic drainage from the head
🔸And improving the look and feel of your skin
(I've never quite bought into all the marketing about how fascia can be used for appearance/vanity reasons (because there's soooo much more to fascia than beauty), but I have to admit that any time I do a facial fascia release routine, I'm always complimented on how refreshed and "glowing" my skin looks. So hey, if that's a way to motivate you to do the work that also provides a ton of other benefits, I'm here for it!)
