Episode 15: TMJ Relaxation

In episode 15 of the Franklin Method Fellowship we look at the jaw. This is a common place where many people hold tension. Tension in our jaw is influenced by the neck and shoulders, upper body posture, the pelvic floor, breathing, and stress. This can create clicking and deviations in movement of the TMJ joints and affect the mobility of our spine. The good news is there are many tools that we can use to release tension, create balance, and promote a sense of ease in this area. We make connections in this episode to the movements of the jaw and the pelvic floor. We look at the movement of the TMJ joint and incorporate some fun exercises with the tongue and cheeks.
