## Caption

There's a jaw-to-collarbone muscle that tightens from stress and clenching, and almost nobody trains it.
ㅤ
It's called the platysma, a thin sheet of muscle that runs from your jaw down the side of your neck to your collarbone. Clenching your jaw, hunching over a screen, grinding through a stressful day, it can sit there tight for years without you noticing.
ㅤ
Platysma release with hand traction:
1. Press the skin just above your collarbone and pull it down gently, taking up the slack.
2. Tilt your head to the other side and rotate your chin up and away.
3. Hold 20-30 seconds, then switch sides.
ㅤ
If your jaw feels tighter on one side, that's normal, just work both evenly. Coach note: keep your mouth slightly relaxed and open through the tilt rather than clenched shut, it keeps the stretch safer on the neck.
