You deserve a hug today! Do this exercise with me. I came across this video of my sweet Chessie - she really was like a weighted blanket that purred so loudly that people could hear her if I was on a phone call. May you all give and receive hugs, take deep breaths and move a little during this freezing cold.
If you want to jump into the classes this week, check out our class schedule online. We’d love to see you in person!
Stuck at home and need to move? Our online videos are FREE until 2/14! Just go to our website, choose “Online Videos” and follow the prompts. Enjoy and stay warm!

Jaw pain, clicking or popping, headaches, facial tension, neck discomfort, or difficulty opening and closing your mouth comfortably can all be signs of TMJD (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction).
While these symptoms are felt in the jaw, the jaw itself is deeply connected to posture, breathing, and how the entire body moves.
At Posture Studio, we treat TMJD through a whole-body physical therapy approach — looking beyond the jaw to understand what’s contributing to strain and tension.
The position of the head, neck, and shoulders plays a major role in how the jaw functions. Forward head posture, chronic neck tension, and upper-body stiffness can subtly change how the jaw loads over time.
The jaw is also connected to the pelvis through the spine, breathing mechanics, and the nervous system. Patterns of holding or tension in the core and pelvis — often related to stress, posture, or injury — can influence jaw tension, and vice versa.
That’s why TMJD therapy at Posture Studio may include:
• Gentle hands-on treatment to the jaw, neck, and upper spine
• Soft tissue work for facial, neck, and shoulder tension
• Joint mobilization for healthy jaw and cervical movement
• Postural retraining from head through pelvis
• Breathing and movement strategies to reduce habitual holding
• Education to support long-term change and prevent recurrence
If you’ve been dealing with jaw pain or tension, a whole-body approach may be the missing piece.

Fall is here and we’re reminded of the beauty of change. Here are a few simple things we can do in our own lives to make positive changes and reset our minds. Which one works for you? ❤️
This month, our teacher training with Tara Fontenot, DPT focused on the rotator cuff, common injuries, thoughts on recovery - plus the importance of spinal and ribcage mobility/stability and the influence that has on the shoulder girdle and recovery outcomes. From there, Carla Shifflett taught cues to consider when teaching Pilates and applications of certain exercises. Enjoying our time learning together.❤️
