The Pain and Performance Podcast

In this episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast, Dr. Derrick Hines challenges the traditional idea of work-life balance and shares a different framework for thinking about where we put our time, energy, and attention.

Rather than trying to perfectly divide work and personal life, Derrick explains why balance may come from supporting three areas: purpose, passion, and peace. He breaks down what each one means, how an imbalance between them can contribute to burnout, and the questions you can ask yourself to identify what may be missing from your life.

In This Episode

-- Why work-life balance may be the wrong goal
-- The difference between purpose, passion, and peace
-- Why your purpose can change throughout different seasons of life
-- How neglecting passion and peace can contribute to burnout
-- Why pursuing peace alone isn't necessarily balance
-- Questions to help you evaluate where your time and energy are going

Podcast: Angry At The Right Things

In this episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast, Dr. Derrick Hines explains how an often-overlooked muscle called the pterygoid may be contributing to jaw pain, clicking, popping, and TMJ dysfunction.

He breaks down how tension in this muscle can alter jaw mechanics, create pressure on the jaw joint, and lead to pain on one or both sides of the face.

Dr. Hines also shares a simple jaw retraining exercise and discusses why addressing muscle tension and movement patterns may be key to long-term relief.

In This Episode
-- The role of the pterygoid muscles in jaw movement
-- How muscle tension can contribute to TMJ symptoms
-- Why jaw pain is not always coming from the painful side
-- Common symptoms including clicking, popping, and locking
-- A simple exercise to improve jaw alignment and coordination
-- How releasing tension may help restore normal jaw function
