Could this inverted position be the key to unlocking chronic neck and jaw tension? This is a suboccipital release combined with a masseter technique. With the cervical spine in extension, the practitioner can access and gently manipulate the muscles at the base of the skull and mandible to alleviate TMJ discomfort. Send this to someone who needs to see this technique. #wellness #bodywork #tmjrelief #jawpain #necktension #osteopathy #manualtherapy

A client came in with chronic tension headaches and jaw clenching. We applied a gentle suboccipital release, using light pressure at the base of her skull to ease the deep neck muscles. This allows the entire face and scalp to soften, as you see here. She felt immediate relief. Send this to a friend who carries stress in their neck. 💆‍♀️ #holistichealth #selfcare #mindfulness #craniosacral #tmjdysfunction #necktension #jawrelease #suboccipital #headacheremedy
