Jaw tension and hip issues are deeply connected through your body’s fascial network, nervous system, and shared postural muscles, meaning tightness in one area often causes or exacerbates problems in the other, with stress and forward head posture acting as major culprits in creating this chain reaction from your jaw down to your pelvis and hips. A tense jaw can strain hip muscles like the psoas, while tight hip flexors can pull on the deep front line, affecting your head and jaw posture, creating a feedback loop of discomfort.
