Clench your teeth (lightly, not max).
Now bend forward and reach toward your toes.
Come back up.
Relax your jaw: lips closed, teeth not touching.
Bend forward again.
If the second rep felt different (range, ease, low-back grab, hip tension)… That wasn’t flexibility. That was your jaw changing your pelvic brace.
Most people don’t realize these two structures are linked. Not just through posture or movement habits, but through your developmental blueprint. They formed from the same embryonic tissue. They’re connected by fascia that wraps your entire nervous system. When one moves, the other responds.
This is why your hip pain keeps coming back no matter how much you stretch. This is why your pelvic floor won’t release no matter how many exercises you do. This is why your lower back locks up and nothing seems to fix it.
You’ve been treating the pelvis. But the signal is coming from above.
I wrote about exactly how this connection works and why it’s one of three inputs that control your entire posture. When you understand these three systems, you’ll understand why stretching never fixed anything.
