Rainy day today in Johnstown - it’s the kind of day that makes us want to stay in, be sheltered and feel safe.

While taking my daughter to school today, there was a a tailback because the busses ahead of us on the roundabout for whatever reason were stopped. traffic was piling up - no one was moving. the frustration was mounting and impatience was growing and I stopped myself and thought - how can I create this time to be more enjoyable? so I turned to herself and said “hooray! we get extra time together this morning that we didn’t expect.“ she went on to share a memory with me that she had from when she was still in her buggy. how sweet is that????

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.
