What is Myofunctional Therapy?
- The focus of myofunctional therapy is to achieve these four goals: constant nasal breathing, constant lip seal, proper tongue posture at rest, proper tongue movement while swallowing. This is achieved by utilizing physical therapy exercises to strengthen the muscles of the mouth and retrain your body’s subconscious habits.
- Breathing is the basis of life, every cell in your body is reliant on oxygen to function, and HOW you are breathing makes a big difference. Nasal breathing is far superior to mouth breathing and leads to better oxygen absorption, alleviates allergies, lessens sleep disordered breathing, lowers risk for chronic diseases and promotes proper facial growth.
- Your tongue placement when chewing, swallowing, and at rest plays a key role in how your facial bones and teeth develop. Proper tongue posture early on in life can alleviate the need for palatal expanders or even braces as a whole.
- Myofunctional therapy optimizes the basic elements of life, eating and breathing, in order to naturally remedy life-long instances of disorders and chronic diseases.
- You will develop new muscle memory using easy and fun exercises and utilize behavior modification techniques to promote proper tongue and lip position, improved breathing, along with chewing and swallowing. which can lead to long term health/success.
