neck pain and teeth grinding

[annalisa]

Hi everybody!
I have 30 years old friend who often develops contractures in his neck, shoulders, and upper back area. The last one occurred to his neck while he was running…
He told me that in the last year he noticed that often he grind his teeth while sleeping in prone position, either with his head turn right and left.
He doesn’t refer any temporomandibular joint pain.
I wander if his frequent contractures could be linked with his teeth grinding.
I never heard about this so i thought about asking you advice.

Thank you!
