I was in choir as a kid and teenager, and they would tell me to breathe with my diaphragm. I was physically incapable and couldn't figure out why for years. I only recently found out it's because my hips were tight and pulling on my diaphragm and keeping it from being able to contract and relax naturally. Doing some hip flexor stretches immediately improves my diaphragm function everyday. I'm so curious if anyone else has had this issue. I feel like I'm the only one.

'Breathe with the diaphragm' can be a difficult direction to follow as it's always working! However, tight abdominals and core (which the hip flexors are part of) can restrict movement of the diaphragm. Glad to hear that hip stretches have helped and it's definitely a relationship to explore!

Definitely not the only one lol it’s all on the psoas muscles & everything else around the hips (obliques, glutes, etc) Crazy enough aside from it also having affected my jaw but also shoulder imbalance. The body is completely systematic so one imbalance will cause another elsewhere. Bc of so much tightness, i also struggled with breathing deep from diaphragm. But one thing for sure to know is where the problem stems from. Stretching, breathing techniques, electrical therapy devices & other methods have helped wonders

That’s really interesting! I didn’t know that could happen.

When I was preparing to labor with my second child, I ran into exceptional advice and it was all I could think of during labor: keep your jaw relaxed. During each contraction that was the only thing I focused on, keeping my jaw soft. From start to finish labor lasted 4 hours and I attribute that to keeping my jaw relaxed. Needless to say, this makes a lot of sense to me!

I seriously want to cry... I'm 52 and you've just explained why I've been in so much pain and discomfort my whole adult life. I gave birth to my son a few weeks after I turned 18. It was a really difficult labour and he was a BIG baby. Six months after he was born I was walking around slightly leaning to the side, with him on my hip, when all of a sudden my jaw locked up. Anything wider than a straw wouldn't fit between my teeth. A few hours later it released by itself but it was never the same. I've never been able to open it anymore than two a half finger widths. Since that time.. slowly and surely over the years, my whole skelatal structure has pretty much fallen apart. It's curved, it's bent, I can't stand straight. My jaw is totally out of allignment and always hurting. With the birth of my subsequent child, and then my grandchildren.. I noticed the overall problem would suddenly get worse from constantly leaning to the side and carrying them on my hip. I've now reached the point of being in so much pain all the time, I can barely think straight. But at least now I can start fixing the problem and hopefully get my life back. THANK YOU.!!!! xx

Trauma is held in more places than fascia.

I was just sitting in the lotus position, doing some hip and sciatic stretches, turn on KZread to listen to some binaural beats and then WHABAM! I sit right into the pain in my hip and then all of a sudden my jaw started feeling - I don’t know how to explain it but it felt uncomfortable and the muscles started twitching. And then I look down at my phone and this video is listed as “Suggested” to watch. I didn’t search for anything about hips or jaw or pain or anything. It just popped up - and I needed it. Thanks for this. Also still totally weirded out that this video popped up without me even searching for anything related to it… yet here I am. Thank you either way.

Very interesting. I discovered connection between coccyx and voice when singing tenor in choir. The more the tension went in my hips and coccyx, the more easily I could reach high notes, albeit only falsetto. In fact I discovered that whereas normally I would struggle to reach top A, but when my coccyx dropped significantly I was able to reach the C above, and on one occasion the Eb above. I have always had a lisp and I have always had a theory that it is related to tension in the coccyx and shoulders. Somehow it causes my tongue to push forward and be too large for the mouth, hence a lisp. About 30 years ago I was studying Alexander Technique and practicing meditation and I got further than I have ever got with it and reached a state that I can only describe as Nirvana. More recently I discovered an Alexander Teacher online and he actually used the expression 'Nirvana in the Neck'. which is a good description of my experience. I also experienced that we actually have two responses to gravity, like the trees. Our upper half actually tries to pull us upward away from earth, whereas our lower half, below the waist pulls us down towards the earth, just like a tree. Our waist represents the section of the tree where it meets the soil. It is a fascinating subject and when I tried explaining it to my cousin a few years she said I had found my vocation. In the end I think it is all about lengthening the spine, which is subject of yoga and as the spine lengthens breathing is improved (pranayama) . I have also discovered the releasing the coccyx is also often the cure for lower back pain.

Long story short, how do I get my back teeth to touch again??

On the same day I decided it was time to seek dental help, I also realized my hips were hurting (and I do yoga/stretch everyday at least for 10 min) as an equestrian it is a must to have limber pelvis. I dug in to the hips with intention AM and PM and the next AM. Woke up and hips were feeling much better. On my long drive home from the barn I suddenly realized that my jaw was relaxed and not bothering me! I was astonished but did not make the connection yet. Later while pondering the fact that both areas were feeling better, I wondered if there might be a connection and VOILA!! I have found much info to support the jaw hip connection!!

Super interesting. As a violinist during music college I had an Alexander Technique teacher who constantly pointed out the effects inner tension has on areas such as the neck/jaws/tongue and the pelvis, as well as the knees and feet/ankles. For a long time I had to learn to relax the pelvis, the neck, etc. in order to relax the whole body. The sensation of freedom and the sound I then got out of my instrument were immense; I’ve never since been able to repeat this in quite the same way, without his guidance… a real eye opener.

it definitely sounds like there is something out of alignment somewhere. I remember going to a doctor for back pain and his telling me that the major tension was in my neck not my lower back where I felt the most pain. When doing Mewing-type exercises I have a mantra of hip and shoulders, neck and tongue (kinda like the kids song Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes) that I repeat as I´m exercising and try to relax these four key areas. I have had good results but everybody is unique and if the exercises are causing more tension and problems it sounds like they are disturbing the delicate balance between your hips, back, shoulders and neck. One common problem is trying too hard. I am not an expert but for me proper breathing while doing this kind of exercise is really important as well as trying to keep the area from the hips to the neck fluid, like a wave, and not locking up in any spot. Good luck. @@TheEmaile

Or try Holographic Breathing - on the in breath you let the jaw drop very slightly, but the tongue remains up and the lips closed.

Thank you for sharing all this info! I’ll make these notes and try again. And I’ll go check out Dr. Lin! @@greenfrog6449

This is excellent content! I was feeling that both had to do or were connected in some way, I proved myself several times when my jaw was tense, so was my PF muscles! And viceversa. Thank you sooo much for your clear explanation 💖

Thanks so much for your comments, it's all connected! Glad you enjoyed the video 💙

Thank you for sharing this infromation. Can't wait to try this.

WOW. The throat exercise made my stomach hurt terribly. I have never felt that pain. I am very expressive and do not have trouble combatting problems or communicating. My sister and mother are the opposite and frequently describe a stomach pain when faced with problems!!!!!! I really think it has to do with this tightening up you mentioned.... My stomach still hurts 5 minutes later!!!

I know this is an older video but my mind is absolutely blown right now. I have had bad pain in the left side of my jaw/neck for several years now (I have TMJ) and that side of my pelvis/hips/lower back are always SO tight. So much tighter than the right side. I’ve started up my yoga practice again after taking several years off I’m really hoping that starts to help 🙏🏻 amazing information

Could feel that in the diaphragm, abdomen area then later the hip area. A singer so jaw is fairly relaxed. Excellent.

This is great! I can feel this connection and it’s great to have a scientific explanation ❤

Great video, I've learned this connection recently by finding the Postural Restoration Institute , not only the jaw, but also our visual system plays a role, fascinating stuff... PRI helped me figure out so many things about my body which regular physical therapy never came close to doing

I've had a right hip situation, and SI joint for a number of months, and three days ago I woke up in the morning and my right jaw joint felt like it was sprained, I can barely eat. This video came up on my feed today, I had no idea the hip and jaw was connected, thank you so much!

Super interesting video. I'm an occupational therapy student and this helped me put together some anatomy/positioning insights!

Thanks a lot for this video. I have been having very tenses jaws since the birth of my son three years ago and I couldn’t understand as to why suddenly I started having this symptom. I can now correlate it and work on my hip muscles to see if I get relief in my tensed jaws. Thanks a ton!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. The cranial nerves are also fascinating and can have such an effect on the feel of the neck. It really is all connected!
