Did you know that your jaw and pelvis are connected?
Research shows that when people with certain pain conditions (like complex regional pain syndrome, or CRPS) had their jaw muscles relaxed, their hip flexibility improved. But when they clenched their jaw tightly, their hip flexibility decreased.
This study highlights something Bowen Therapists have long understood: tension or imbalance in one area of the body can affect distant parts.
In this case, the jaw and pelvis are linked through muscular and fascial connections, meaning tension in one area can restrict movement in the other.
Bowen Therapy’s gentle techniques aim to release tension and restore balance across the body.
By gently working with both local and interconnected areas, Bowen Therapy aims to encourage flexibility, ease discomfort, and support the body’s natural alignment.
