✨ Treatment 2 of Laura’s Jaw Release Journey ✨

Another surprise!

This week, Laura presented with some tension, particularly through the left side of her neck, mentioning that she had slept awkwardly.

After the treatment, Laura reported feeling good and having more movement through her neck.

I also noticed a significant change through the base of the skull (occipital region). When I checked the area again at the end of the treatment, there was noticeably more give and the tissue felt looser than when we started.

I also noticed more movement and softness through the temporal region.

These before and after photos were taken approximately one hour after treatment.

My observations included:

✨ Softer, less pronounced nasolabial folds (smile lines)
✨ Reduced puffiness through the face
✨ Reduced puffiness through the neck
✨ A softer, more relaxed appearance overall

While the aesthetic changes are beautiful to see, what interests me most as a therapist is how the body feels and moves following treatment.

Jaw Release Therapy works beyond the jaw, with the treatment including the chest, neck, arms, temporals, jaw, chin, diaphragm, pelvis, calves and feet to help release patterns of tension throughout the body.

I’m really enjoying seeing how each treatment unfolds and continuing to refine my skills as I work through my training.

More to come from Laura’s Jaw Release journey

✨ My first Jaw Release Therapy case study ✨

Yesterday, I got to put my Jaw Release Therapy training into practice with my very first case study, Laura.

And the results after just one treatment surprised us both!

Laura came in with a clicking jaw and noticeable tension through her jaw, neck and upper body.

Before treatment, I noticed tension through the masseter muscles, some puffiness through the cheeks, rounded shoulders and tension through the neck and upper body.

The treatment itself was gentle, working through the chest, arms, neck, head, face, jaw and chin.

After just one session, I could see:

✨ A softer, more relaxed jaw and face
✨ Less facial puffiness
✨ More relaxed shoulders
✨ A noticeably more upright posture
✨ Less tension through the neck and upper body

And Laura could feel the difference too:

“Wow… I feel lighter in the head, and I look younger!”

While Jaw Release Therapy can have a beautiful aesthetic effect, it’s about much more than appearance. It may be worth exploring if you experience jaw tension, clenching or grinding, clicking, or regularly carry tension through your head, neck and shoulders.

I’m so excited to continue developing my skills and seeing the results with more case studies.

One thing I’ve been noticing more frequently in clinic lately is how many people are carrying stress and tension through the jaw, neck and shoulders.

Many people don’t realise that jaw tension can also influence breathing patterns and contribute to tension through the diaphragm and pelvic floor due to the body’s fascial connections.

Lately, I’ve been teaching clients simple jaw release techniques and incorporating myofascial release into treatments to help reduce these tension patterns throughout the body.

Bowen Therapy & Remedial Massage work with the body as a whole, not just the site of pain.

Have you noticed yourself clenching your jaw lately?
