"Holly really helped my jaw and neck problems that I've had for years in only a few sessions! Her treatment and knowledge is outstanding and she explains everything so throughly. I understand my triggers now and the jaw clenching has reduced so much! Thank you Holly!"

What causes TMD or TMJ ?
TMJ and TMD are terms used interchangably in medicine for Temporomandibular (jaw joint) dysfunction. TMD is often caused by a unique combination of the following factors listed below.

Posture
Such as forward head posture or low tongue posture 

Tongue positioning
Incorrect tongue resting position can cause teeth grinding or jaw clenching during the day and night

Bite
How your teeth meet can create uneven and increased pressure on the jaw and force it out of alignment, in particular deep overbite or crossbite

Stress
Our body naturally tightens the jaw and shoulders when under perceived threat to protect our head and neck, often accompanied by clenching and grinding

Mouth breathing
Breathing through your mouth instead of your nose disrupts the whole system

Tension
Chronic, unaddressed tension builds up creating more tension on the jaw joint and surrounding muscles

Hypermobility
Overstretching of the jaw ligaments and tissue can cause pain and reactive muscle clenching or tightening.
