My low back had been tight and achy for weeks. I was stretching daily. This way and that way. Walking. Doing different hip openers in the evenings after long days of sitting and writing, working with clients, or driving (shuttling) kids around. I had been feeling stretched and maxed out, to be honest. And still, this nagging low-back tightness. And of course, for me, the jaw tension. Always the jaw tension. That’s a place that often holds my stress. I clench during the day and grind at night. The jaw. The low back. Something was up.
