Do you carry chronic tension in your jaw or neck?
Does it persist no matter how much stretching you do or how many massages you get?
Have you noticed it tends to worsen during periods of stress?
Long hours at a desk and repetitive postures can create strain in the muscles of the jaw, neck, and shoulders. At the same time, ongoing stress can keep the nervous system in a heightened state, increasing muscle tone and making it harder for those areas to fully relax.
Together, these two sources of tension are why so many people carry chronic tightness in the head, face, neck, and jaw.
Over time, this can lead to:
-
Neck pain or stiffness
-
Jaw clenching or TMJ symptoms
-
Headaches or migraines
-
Vertigo or dizziness
-
A feeling of being physically “on edge”
The Head Reset™ is designed to address this pattern. Rather than viewing these symptoms as isolated muscle tightness alone, this approach considers the role of the nervous system in maintaining chronic tension.
Treatment combines hands-on work of the face, jaw (internal and external techniques), and neck along with posture retraining, guided exercises, and education — all through the lens of nervous system regulation. The goal is not only to release tension, but to help the body shift out of a constant stress response.
The Head Reset™ is offered by our physiotherapist, Roma Desai. If these symptoms feel familiar, this approach may be a helpful next step!
