ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
Your jaw clenches when you're focused. Your neck is always tight. The headaches keep coming back.
You've tried stretching, massage, and chiropractic adjustments. Maybe even a mouth guard. The tension releases for a day or two, then returns—often worse than before.
What if the problem isn't your jaw, your neck, or even your posture? What if it's a nervous system pattern your body learned years ago and has been running on autopilot ever since?
In this 90-minute workshop, you'll discover why releasing tension isn't about forcing your muscles to relax—and learn gentle somatic movements that retrain the nervous system patterns keeping you stuck in chronic pain.
Format: Live Virtual Workshop
Date & Time: March 19 | 5:30 - 7:00 PM EDT
Are you struggling with:
Jaw tension or TMJ pain that makes eating, talking, or even yawning uncomfortable
Waking up with your jaw clenched or teeth sore from grinding at night
Tension headaches that start in your neck and creep up the back of your head
Neck stiffness that gets worse as the day goes on—especially after sitting at a computer
That constant feeling like you need to stretch your neck but stretching never quite helps
Headaches that show up like clockwork every few days, despite medication
Pain that flares when you're stressed or after a long workday
In this 90-minute workshop,
you'll discover:
Why your jaw, neck, and head tension are connected (and why treating them separately hasn't worked)
What Sensory Motor Amnesia is and how your nervous system "forgets" how to release chronic muscle tension
The specific reflex patterns that create and maintain jaw clenching and neck tension
Simple somatic movements that retrain your nervous system to let go of habitual holding patterns
Why strengthening and stretching often make tension worse—and what actually works instead
How stress creates physical tension patterns that become "stuck" in your body
Practical tools you can use immediately when you feel tension building
ABOUT BETTY
Betty is a physical therapist and somatics practitioner who understands chronic pain from both sides—as a clinician and as someone who lived with persistent SI joint pain for years.
After traditional PT and chiropractic care provided only temporary relief, she discovered how the nervous system creates and maintains chronic pain patterns. This understanding transformed not only her own pain but her entire approach to helping others.
Betty combines her PT expertise with somatic movement education to address the root cause of tension patterns, helping people break free from pain cycles that conventional treatments haven't resolved. She works both in-person in Nantucket and online with clients worldwide.
