Millcreek Therapeutic Massage

Have you ever wondered what makes my approach with NKT and scar tissue work different than most massage?

I recently had the opportunity to be interviewed for Lodestar Physical Therapy's podcast, the Spotlight Series, where I discuss my background and my approach to bodywork using these techniques. Check it out!

Recently, my client rolled her ankle and fell hard on her left hip. She came to see me a few days later, because both of her calves and feet were tightening up and creating pain into her feet when walking.

Using the NKT protocol, I found that her left glute muscles had been effected in the fall and turned off, as well as a muscle in her lower back. To compensate for this, her inner thigh was gripping too hard and creating tension into the calves. I massaged the inner thigh and activated her lower back and hip, and she was able to walk with more balance and less pain.

Close your teeth right now. Which side hits first?

If you feel more pressure on one side, your spine is compensating at this exact moment.

Here’s the cascade destroying your posture work:

The jaw drags your skull off-center. When your bite lands harder on one side, your jaw pulls your entire skull with it. Your head tilts. One ear drops. Your neck muscles grip all day just to keep your eyes level.

The crooked head forces your spine to bend. Your brain won’t let you walk around tilted, so it bends and rotates your spine. One shoulder climbs. Ribs twist. That one-sided tightness you keep foam rolling but can never fix.

The twisted spine makes your pelvis and feet compensate. To stop you from falling, your pelvis shifts and one hip hikes while more weight drops into one foot. The leg that feels shorter. The knee that always hurts more.

And the jaw keeps the entire chain stuck. As long as your bite stays asymmetric, your nervous system keeps rebuilding this pattern from skull to feet. You can stretch your neck and strengthen your core all you want. Your body will snap back to this jaw-driven compensation by evening.

This is why your posture work never holds.

A 2025 study analyzing 83 studies confirmed it: the trigeminocervical nucleus creates bidirectional pain referral between jaw and neck. They’re hardwired in your brainstem. Your nervous system doesn’t distinguish between the two.

When jaw mechanics are off, your neck muscles stay tight not because they’re weak but because your brain thinks they need to stabilize a faulty jaw.
