A pain in the jaw.

I've been experiencing some jaw pain for the last 6-8 weeks and it took a comment from my massage therapist to spur me into action. After a quick visit to my doc and my dentist, I booked an appointment with a jaw physical therapist.

I didn't even know that such a thing existed, to be honest. I think this is a sign that you have a privileged life.

So she did a bunch of tests and I learned that I do not open and close my jaw properly. Who knew that you could do such a thing? But I am not doing it properly. So I am relearning how to do it properly, including self-massage and how to not clench my jaw, as well as improving my posture.

I have hopes that it will work out because if I do not relearn properly, it will mean long-lasting pain. So here's to rehab!
