Fixing Tight Muscle

I made an account to ask this question, as this seems to be the only engaged place on this subject short of booking a season with a provider.

Discovered this phenomenon naturally a couple months ago and have been doing this daily for 10-30 minutes a day, not really monitoring and doing whenever it feels right. (I didn‘t know it was something to monitor and fortunately haven’t experienced any negative symptoms with the exception of what I’m describing in this post; I’ll give the wiki a look and pace accordingly going forward to understanding this is also a clinical modality.)

basically whenever I smile, my face twitches. Instead of stopping it one time I just let it do thing and found the twitching expanded and felt relaxing.

Over the last couple months, my face has felt really loose and great. Its a great pre-bedtime relaxant. Facial expressions come easier and I’ve even noticed some changes reminiscent of cosmetic surgery. The strong mental benefits I thought were just good sleep I‘m learning from this community probably were a direct results of this. But the tension seems to have moved to whatever muscle is in the base of your throat between your clavicles. I haven’t done the face shaking for a couple weeks since having the hypothesis this is related, but this muscle has remained very tight, making it uncomfortable to breathe deeply.

When I tried more shaking to get rid of it before realizing I should stop, it did 100% resolve it, but the tightness would return within a day worse. It’s not horrible, but it is pretty uncomfortable.

I’m gathering from skimming threads I may just have to wait this out but would love to hear advice if anyones experienced this. thanks.
