Suffer from TMJ, Neck, and Pelvic Floor Pain? Broadly Explore How Your Entire Self —Your TMJ, Neck, and Pelvic Floor, Postural Awareness, and Breath are Connected— and Guide Yourself Out of Pain

By working with the top and bottom of the spine, the jaw joint, the upper cervical spine, and the pelvic floor, we are hitting places that mirror each other in tension.
