Comparing Pictures, Restarting Egoscue

I talked with Paul today because I'm ready to get serious again with my Egoscue therapy. I am looking now at the picture of me frontal compared to that of 3.5 years ago. Between that time I've only done Egoscue off and on, so Egoscue is not to blame for the fact that my trunk leans left more, and my neck leans right more. I concentrated on keeping my feet straight out for today's shot, but that's not how they naturally fall.

The main symptom I'm having is dental-related: my right teeth touch but my left teeth don't. I have to force my lower jaw to the left for all teeth to touch. This is a good tip-off that I need some muscle balancing! Remember, bones (including those that make up your jaw) do what muscles tell them to do.

 I know that I'll have to put some time into this to get my balance and bite better. I am ready to do what is necessary. We could be talking an hour a day or so. And then the Tower wedged somewhere in there as well. But I am 43, not 73, so if I step confidently in the direction of my dreams (to have a normal bite and not lean so much), I will get there!

Write if you have experience with muscles and bad bites and Egoscue...and anything at all, really!
