Headache? Free your jaw

If you’re experiencing neck pain or headaches, you might be clenching your jaw.

Release your jaw hinge (this joint is just in front of your ear).

Lay your fingers gently along the length of your chewing muscle. This is your masseter muscle and it’s one of the strongest muscles in your entire body. It runs north/south from your cheek bone to jaw bone.

Soften this strong muscle. Allow your fingertips to gently swipe down along the length of the masseter muscle, encouraging an unclenching you might find that your molars part at the back, or that your lips part. This is okay.

Allow the release to trickle down through your neck and shoulders.

How does your neck feel? Your head? Can you type from this released place? Text on your phone? Sing a phrase?
