Pelvic Floor and TMJ connection | Dr. Mary | Fascial Patterns

Join us May 6th (tomorrow) at 6pm CST!

When you get the diaphragm moving well:

1. Neck and TMJ tension reduces
The diaphragm and accessory neck muscles (like the scalenes and sternocleidomastoid) are both involved in breathing.

When diaphragm function is poor, the neck muscles overcompensate, leading to chronic tension, forward head posture, and TMJ overload.

Efficient diaphragmatic breathing reduces the load on those muscles, relaxing the jaw and neck.

2. Pelvic floor tension eases
The pelvic floor, diaphragm, and tongue are all part of the same fascial and pressure system (often called the “core canister”).
When the diaphragm is tight or restricted, it can cause compensatory over-clenching of the pelvic floor.

When you restore proper breath mechanics, the pelvic floor is able to move rhythmically with the diaphragm, reducing baseline tone and guarding.

3. Breathing becomes easier and more regulated

Better diaphragm movement = improved CO₂ tolerance, nervous system downregulation, and better postural control.

This shift can calm the sympathetic drive that often underlies jaw clenching, neck tension, and hypertonic pelvic floors.
