TEMPORALIS MUSCLE

Temporalis hypertonicity can cause headaches, jaw clenching, tooth ache, TMJD, trigger points and ear ache.
Stress and musculoskeletal imbalance play a determinant 
role in originating or aggravating this condition. 
Releasing Temporalis and other muscles of mastication can alleviate many of the symptoms and give the body the conditions necessary for the natural healing processes.

PIRIFORMIS

Piriformis contraction allows us to horizontally abduct and laterally rotate the acetabulofemoral joint. Postural imbalance, SIJD and compensation from trauma or repetitive "overuse" injuries can result in Piriformis hypertonicity.

Pirformis hypertonicity can lead to Piriformis Syndrome, a type of Sciatic nerve compression. 

In addition to releasing Piriformis, an appropriate treatment should include instruction on why and how to modify unhealthy postural and kinetic patterns.

Treatments are more successful when clients are actively involved, thus Postureffect's focus on education and self-awareness.
