Massage Therapy/Structural Integration

11/03/2025

This is where I went to school to be a massage therapist in 1996. I will always remember it as one of the most profound and meaningful experiences of my life. As I get older and find myself struggling a bit to feel that sense of meaning in my work that I used to feel it was very good to watch this 🙏🏼🥰
Thank you to every one of you who has let me touch their lives!

Your jaw tension is literally crushing your breathing and destroying your posture from the inside out.

The masseter muscle (your jaw) shares a neurological highway with your diaphragm and pelvic floor they’re all connected through the same fascial chains and nervous system pathways.

Here’s what happens when your jaw is clenched:
•Your diaphragm can’t fully expand, reducing oxygen by up to 30%

•Your pelvic floor compensates by over-tightening, creating lower back tension

•Your entire core becomes rigid instead of responsive

•This creates a domino effect: tight jaw → shallow breathing → weak core → poor posture

The Science: 1️⃣ Trigeminal nerve (jaw) → 2️⃣ Vagus nerve (diaphragm) → 3️⃣ Pelvic nerve → 4️⃣ Postural collapse

With a clenched jaw: Your diaphragm stays elevated, your pelvis tilts forward, creating that hunched-over “tech neck” posture.

With a relaxed jaw: Your diaphragm drops fully, your pelvis stabilizes, your entire spine decompresses.

Most people try to “fix” their posture by pulling their shoulders back. That’s like trying to fix a foundation by painting the roof.

The REAL fix? Release the jaw tension that’s hijacking your entire breathing system 24/7.

That’s what I created the 5-Minute Posture Fix giving you a scientifically-designed protocol that targets the jaw-breathing-posture connection in just 5 minutes a day, link in bio ☝️

Thinking about our breath expanding our rib cage in ALL three dimensions, not just into the belly. Especially focusing on filling the areas in our lower back and sides will help us to create more movement in the thoracic spine and rib cage.
