Do you suffer from Jaw Clenching or Teeth Grinding?
Craniosacral Therapy releases tight jaw muscles
Craniosacral Therapy is a soft tissue treatment that works to release tension & contraction patterns in the body – often the cause of jaw pain. The practitioner uses very light contact and works with the inherent fluid & tissue movements of the body. The result is release to long term tension.
About bruxism / jaw clenching
Jaw clenching, or bruxism, is when you unconsciously clench your jaw muscles and grind your teeth, often without realising it. Clients often notice it most in the morning when they wake up, after clenching unconsciously during the night, but some notice themselves clenching during the day too. Sometimes your dentist will alert you to this issue too because it can cause grinding of the teeth. Bruxism can cause pain and fatigue in the jaw, and sometimes lead to other issues such as headaches.
What causes bruxism and jaw clenching?
In most cases Jaw clenching and teeth grinding are caused by stress in the Nervous System. When your Nervous System holds a stress response (aka fight or flight) jaw muscle tension is one of the most common outlets. With a stress response, your whole body is literally ready for a dangerous event and needs to keep the body primed for this – tight muscles. However undoing the stress response is not just about telling yourself to relax. When we have been running this state for some time, it becomes the default state – meaning it becomes subconscious and we stop noticing it. This type of stress needs help to release it so we can find a new default setting – which is where Craniosacral Therapy comes in. Craniosacral Therapy helps your nervous system find a calmer set point.
How Craniosacral can help with jaw clenching
Craniosacral Therapy is a soft tissue treatment that works to release fight or flight from the nervous system. The practitioner uses very light contact to work with the fluid & tissue movements of the body. This is deeply settling to the nervous system and as the nervous system disengages, subconscious muscle tension goes with it. This is usually at a much deeper level than we can achieve by ourselves. After a session many first time clients comment that they have rarely felt that level of relaxation before. If you are suffering from Bruxism and teeth grinding, book in a Craniosacral Therapy session & experience how good it feels to release your jaw & whole body.
