If you're one of the millions of people who suffers from jaw pain, nighttime teeth grinding, tension headaches, and overwhelming stress, you know just how debilitating all those things combined can actually be. But there is good news!
And that good news is that relief is possible in the form of somatic exercises.
Somatic exercise programs like the 8 signature courses The Workout Witch has created can soothe jaw pain, relieve daily headaches, and rid your body of the trauma it's storing and the stress it's experiencing.
So no matter what other treatment or healing journey you've started for your chronic jaw pain and teeth grinding, somatic exercise should be your next step!
What are Somatic Exercises?
Somatic exercises are gentle movements that connect your physical body and emotional body to both your nervous system and your somatic memory. This process of movement allows you to actually heal the symptoms that manifest in the body and mind after experiencing any form of trauma, including long-term stress, chronic anxiety, and both long-term and short-term physical trauma.
It can be said that somatic exercise is a holistic approach to wellness that physically helps you tap into the wisdom and natural pathways of your own body. And that helps to develop a greater sense of bodily awareness and control.
Somatic exercise gets to the root of the cause of the symptoms of stored trauma, rather than just covering up the symptoms themselves. So while somatic exercise is great for trauma release, it's also great for a variety of many other things.
Here are just a few other benefits of somatic exercise:
- Heals chronic inflammation
- Balances hormones, including cortisol
- Relieves sciatica and hip pain
- Relieves tension headaches and migraines
- Relieves stomach issues
- Relieves neck and shoulder tension
- Relieves jaw pain and night-time teeth grinding.
- Improves sleep patterns
- Clears brain fog
- + SO much more...
Additionally, somatic exercise can be done by anyone and anywhere. These types of movements don't require any equipment, can be modified to work with all body types and abilities, and can be done in as little as 7 minutes in the comfort of your own home (even in your own bed!).
Somatic exercises help you to develop greater control on your body, move with more grace and fluidity, and allow you to live a life that's finally pain- and stress-free.
How can somatic exercise help with jaw pain?
Unfortunately, jaw pain is a common problem felt by a lot of people. It presents itself in several different ways and is caused by a variety of factors. But the similarity between it all is that jaw pain can seriously disrupt everyday life.
An important thing to mention here is that jaw pain doesn't always have to have a specific diagnosis such as TMJ or arthritis...
Jaw pain is an incredibly common symptom of living with high stress for far too long. And specifically, that you've been living in survival mode for far too long.
So while other typical treatments like taking Ibuprofen or massaging your cheeks or investing in a night-guard can work to heal your jaw pain, these treatments are never actually going to get rid of the jaw pain for good — they'll only provide short-term relief of it.
So how do you get rid of jaw pain for good?
With somatic exercises. Because, as mentioned above, somatic exercise allows your body to get to the root cause of the pain.
When doing somatic exercises specifically for jaw pain (like the ones in our 15 day course Release Your Jaw In 15 Days), your body starts to release the tension and trauma being stored there. This happens because the simple, daily movements connect your nervous system (and the shutting down of it) to the manifestations of how that's showing up throughout your body. And in this case, it's through your jaw.
Now, not everyone stores trauma in their jaw. But if you find yourself feeling like you've been in survival mode and you have chronic jaw pain, then you probably do!
Typically, people who store trauma and tension in their jaw find it difficult to express their feelings and set boundaries. They also have a tendency to sacrifice their own needs to meet the needs of others, and that usually stirs up some resentment for them. They're people pleasers who say 'yes' a little too often.

Somatic exercises have also been found to be effective in treating teeth grinding, which is another common condition that can cause excruciating jaw pain. By starting a course like our Release Your Jaw In 15 Days, you can learn how to release the tension that's causing the involuntary clenching and grinding of teeth — which not only provides relief from jaw pain but also protects the teeth from damage caused by grinding.
Starting a somatic exercise program to release your tension in your jaw relieves:
- Jaw Pain
- Pain When Chewing
- Pain When Laughing
- Night-Time Teeth Grinding
- Chronic Tension Headaches
- Health Conditions Related To Stored Trauma Including: Sleep Issues, Gut Issues, Headaches/Migraines, Chest Pains, Constant Fatigue, Long-Term Anxiety, Long-Term Depression, Brain Fog, Chronic Muscle tension, Tinnitus
