Lydia explains the difference between the jaw joint, commonly called the TMJ, and TMJ dysfunction. They discuss clicking, clenching, headaches, and everyday habits that may add to discomfort. Lydia also demonstrates ways to notice tension and shares why paying attention to small changes in your body matters.
