The Jaw Bone's Connected to the... Pelvic Bone! | TMJ and Pelvic Pain
Is There Really a Connection Between TMJ and Pelvic Pain?
We all know the old childhood song “The hip bone’s connected to the thigh bone“. What if there was a connection from your jaw to the pelvic floor? Read on for how they are, in fact, connected.
What is TMJ?
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint. This joint attaches your skull to your jaw and is located in front of your left and right ear. It opens and closes your mouth for activities like talking and chewing. A dysfunction in the TMJ can occur in the ligaments, muscles or joints and is referred to as TMJD.
Vaginismus / Genito-Pelvic Penetration Disorder
About Vaginismus and Genito-Pelvic Penetration Disorder
Involuntary muscle spasms involving the superficial and deep pelvic floor muscles that typically cause painful entry, limiting or preventing intercourse, tampon insertion or pelvic exams. Women with vaginismus do not always experience “pain” and often report the feeling of their partner or a tampon “hitting a wall”.
Pain is also a common presentation when partial or complete penetration occurs. It may also present as minor discomfort with tampons, pelvic exams or intercourse.
Our patients have often been told that “there is nothing physically wrong” with them or that they “are too high stress and just need a glass of wine”. We feel responses like this are unacceptable and dismissive of the real physical pain that these women have.

SRC Health
Designed by women for women.
Whilst recovering in hospital after the birth of her first child, our founder Sinead O’Donovan decided that new mums deserved more help getting back to their busy lives. Drawing on her extensive medical and bio-mechanical background, Sinead envisaged a garment that would be comfortable for new mums to wear all day whilst giving her all the support she and her body need.
In Heather’s own words:
I thought it’s finally time to share one of my post-op recovery secrets — I’ve been loving that supported life in my @srchealth compression leggings since my hip labral repair surgery last October. When I wear them, my chronic left SI joint hurts less and my legs feel like they’re being micro-massaged all day long!
