« If you&;ve got headaches, tooth ache or neck pain that won&;t seem to go away even with treatment? Did you know your jaw could be the cause?.The Digastrics. .The Digastric muscles – by definition this double bellied muscle is a small muscle underneath the jaw – There are two bellies of the digastric: Posterior belly – attaches to the lower part of the skullAnterior belly – inner side of the mandible and the hyoid bone – a cartilaginous structure in your neckThis muscle helps you with swallowing and depressing the jaw. In patients with TMD, often the posterior belly of this muscle is tight.To muscle test it:.Put your fingers in the corner of your jaw and press forward and toward your eyes.If you swallow and feel this muscle pop – you&;re on the right spot.If you don&;t quite feel this one – don&;t worry. It&;s a smaller muscle which blends with a number of muscles into the front of the neck and is quite a tender point! Some practitioners themselves find difficulty muscle testing this on their patients. I just wanted to show you as much as I could for self treatment – This is number 3 of 4 so only one more!. Next up is the self release for it. series

Many of you may not know but I used to do Wing Chun. I hadnt found the time to change my tires until today. But changing them reminded me of the an essential movement pattern called &;Sticky hands&; or &;chi sau&; that develops and hones both your skill in movement and your sensitivity to detect the movement and the minor nuances of your partner. Here is my throwback to that movement while changing my tires. . &;Kung Fu&; is a Chinese term referring to any study, learning, or practice that requires patience, energy, and time to complete. In its original meaning, kung fu can refer to any discipline or skill achieved through hard work and practice, not necessarily martial arts.. Apply this to your daily life in all regards and you will be closer to becoming a master of your own choosing. . . . spiration »
