Woke up with that “why does my jaw hate me” pain? 😖

Having a cold this week made my congestion so bad that I was clenching harder at night. I woke up with pain shooting from my jaw up the side of my face, so I did a quick Lateral Pterygoid release on myself and it helped instantly!

If you’re sick or dealing with jaw pain, try gentle pressure first and see how your body responds. Let me know if this brings you any relief! ✨
