The Jaw–Pelvis Connection: Why your TMJ and hips might be speaking the same language

Ever wondered why your jaw tension and pelvic tightness seem to flare up together?

In both TCM and physiology, the jaw–pelvis connection is very real — linked by nerves, fascia, stress patterns, and emotional holding.

When one end tightens, the other often follows.
And when you release the deeper pattern beneath both? The whole body softens.

At Wild Heart Acupuncture, I work with the Liver, Kidney, Gallbladder channels, the diaphragm–pelvic floor connection, and the fascial lines that link the jaw, neck, spine, and hips.
If you experience TMJ pain, hip tension, pelvic pain, or stress-related clenching, this approach can help you finally unwind the loop.
