Could myofascial restriction be causing some symptoms?

I’ve been having problems with my head feeling strange for nearly a year now. I’ve mentioned this before. I have had some relief with antibiotics for sinus infection and nasal rinsing but have a strange feeling at the base of my skull that has been driving me crazy. Whe I lay down at night it feels like my head is under pressure an$ I have fluid continually drawing down the back of my throat. Dr can’t find anything wrong and has put it down to stress.

Finally I have found a physio who has been performing techniques designed to release adhesions in my head on the muscles around my jaw and the top of my spine . I can feel the adhesions slowly breaking away bit by bit each week and feel sure I have finally found the source of my problems. I think the sinus infection has left scarring and layers of flesh binding in the wrong places, restricting movement in my jaw and neck and preventing fluids draining away properly in the night ( see my post on the glymphatic system). When I read the list of symptoms caused by this problem some of them sound a lot like some PD symptoms. Interesting!

I think the ones I took cleared up the infection although maybe there is some left? The dr ran blood tests and took my temp etc and doesn’t think there’s an infection still. I think it is the adhesions causing the problems which aren’t infection, they are the way layers of flesh adhere to each other. All the stretches the physio is doing feel like they are tearing theses slowly away and now my neck and jaw are a lot looser. I am seeing the ENT specialist Monday though for diagnosis after a long 3 month wait.

I just wondered if other people may have had or still have this too? Maybe they don’t even realise it is the cause of some of their stiffness or pain.
