Yes, we may just work directly on the upper body during Face Up but your body is deeply interconnected and your face is holding more than you think.
Did you know there is a deep connection between your jaw and pelvic floor?
A connection that begins in the womb and continues throughout our lives in part because of the deep front fascial line.
This is a network of connective tissue that runs from the jaw, down the neck and spine, through the diaphragm, and into the pelvic floor.
This connection means that stress and tension in the jaw can potentially lead to pelvic floor issues and vice versa!
See what happens when you clench your jaw - did you feel your pelvic floor contract simultaneously?
Maybe midwives are onto something when they ask women to relax their jaw during labour....🤔
The jaw and the pelvic floor hold deep muscle memory, not only are they excellent at storing stress and trauma but tension in either can impact mobility, posture, and overall well-being.
It's helpful then to know that the jaw is a primary focus of Face Up facial massage - during every treatment we release deep tension and create space for optimal circulation and movement as well as having an indirect impact on the rest of the body.
Book in now (via the website www.bodyritual.co.nz) to experience some relief now! 💛
