Bowen therapy can help!

Your jaw controls your pelvis - here’s how:

When your jaw clenches, your pelvis compensates.

The cascade:
1️.Jaw imbalance pulls your head forward
2️.Your neck muscles tighten to stabilize
3️.Your spine compensates by shifting
4️.Your pelvis tilts to maintain balance
5️.One-sided back pain, hip tightness, or SI joint dysfunction appears

Why this happens:
1.Your jaw connects to deep neck muscles that attach directly to your spine.

2.When jaw muscles stay tight, they create a chain of compensations that travel downward.

3.Your brain tries to keep you balanced, so when your head shifts forward from jaw tension, your pelvis shifts backward.

👉🏽This is why jaw clenchers often have chronic lower back issues that don’t respond long term to hip stretches or core work.

The pattern: Stressed → Clench jaw → Head forward → Pelvis compensates → Chronic pain

Most people treat the pelvis or lower back. But the trigger is higher up - in the jaw.

Fix the jaw tension, and the pelvic compensation often releases automatically.

I had been working with a client initially to help to address some back and shoulder issues she was having that was no longer responding to physio.
After a few sessions, the discomfort had resolved, but she mentioned she was planning to walk the Camino de Santiago for a second time in a few months wanted to stay in top shape before her walk and upon her return.

Her first session after the Camino and she said “It was easier this year. I’m not sure why - maybe it’s been these sessions with you. I’m already making plans for another Camino next year.”
