Episode 225 – What Your Neck And Jaw Tension Might Actually Be Telling You

If you’re like myself and many of my clients, you’ve spent alot of time trying to find the right neck exercise for your constant neck and jaw tension. You’ve done breathwork and the stretches, but you’re still feeling like you’re on an uphill battle with constant tension. If you’re someone who constantly reads the room, notices other people’s emotions, or are a recovering “people-pleaser”, your chronic tension might not be a mechanical problem. In this episode, I’m sharing a pattern I see all the time with my clients (and something I’ve been working through myself): the connection between people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and the tension that feels like it lives in your jaw and neck. If you’ve tried everything and your tension keeps coming back, this might give you a different perspective and better direction.

Hi, I'm Dr. Jen Hosler.

I’m a bookworm, science nerd, and coach of all things movement (physical therapist and strength & mobility coach). You can catch me sleeping in & having a slow morning, doing CARs & lifting heavy things, or sipping a glass of wine on my time off.

Through a blend of strength & mobility training, I’ll help you master your movement & build a more resilient body that won’t hold you back from all the activities you love doing.

Have a nagging ache, pain, or injury that just hasn’t gone away? Maybe you’ve tried bouts of physical therapy or chiropractic care without much success.

That’s where I come in – with my personalized asssessment and 1-on-1 programming, I will tailor a plan specific to your individual needs so you can feel better and tackle your goals.
