Ep 111. TMJ, Pelvic Floor Tension, and Your Bladder: It’s All Connected
Description
The Pelvic Floor and TMJ Connection Explained
If you’ve ever wondered about the connection between pelvic floor dysfunction and TMJ, this episode breaks it down clearly. Callie sits down with jaw focused physical therapist Dr. Liana Sved to explain how jaw pain, teeth grinding, TMJ issues, bladder symptoms, and pelvic health are all linked through the nervous system, fascial lines, and common movement patterns.
You will learn:
• Why TMJ and jaw pain often show up alongside pelvic floor dysfunction and bladder symptoms
• How tongue posture, tongue ties, and swallowing patterns affect both the jaw and pelvic floor
• Everyday habits that worsen TMJ and teeth grinding
• How stress, shallow breathing, and poor sleep fuel jaw tension and pelvic floor tension
• Why Botox, night guards, and splints may help short term but don’t fix the root of TMJ pain
• First steps to improve jaw function, pelvic health, and overall nervous system regulation
Perfect for anyone dealing with TMJ, pelvic floor dysfunction, teeth grinding, or bladder symptoms who wants to understand how these issues overlap and what to do next.
