Smiling shouldn’t hurt and neither should your pelvic floor. There is a Surprising Connection Between TMJ & Pelvic Floor Dysfunction.
When the jaw (TMJ) and pelvic floor both tighten, it’s not a coincidence. This is anatomy in action! These areas share the same fascial pathway (the Deep Front Line) and neurological connections, meaning tension in one area can impact the other. Chronic stress, poor posture, and compensatory movement patterns further reinforce this link, creating a loop of tightness from head to pelvis.
At Inspire Health, we don’t treat in isolation. Our evaluation connects the dots—jaw mechanics, breathing patterns, spinal posture, and pelvic floor strength—to develop a truly whole-body treatment plan. This integrative approach not only addresses immediate symptoms but also prevents recurrence, leading to more sustainable, long-term outcomes.
