Myofunctional Therapy: What is it and How can it benefit you?
Myofunctional therapy is a treatment technique in which the muscles of the face, mouth, and tongue are trained. These muscles are important in functions that are considered essential in the human body, including respiration, mastication, swallowing, and vocalization. When all of these muscles are not functioning as they should, it may result in airway complications, poor sleep quality, and chronic pain, among other things.
Breathe Ez Myo focuses on myofunctional therapy and breath re-training, which targets the cause of most ailments. In doing this nonsurgical, non-invasive therapy one will build awareness and muscle memory to help eliminate dysfunctions like low tongue posture that may cause; sleep apnea, snoring, teeth clenching, or chronic mouth breathing. We will be able to assist you in enhancing the muscles of the neck and face which will allow for breathing more efficiently, while maintaining a healthy oral position, and eliminating chronic discomfort that interferes with your daily activities.
Who May Benefit from Myofunctional Therapy/ Breathwork Therapy?
Myofunctional therapy is not only relevant to children. Many individuals think this therapy is only for children, for instance, tongue tie or help in the orthodontic field, but adults can benefit just as much. In this regard, conditions like chronic jaw pain or sleep-related disorders, and other cognitive disorders like brain fog can be attributed to poor muscle function in the mouth and face region.
People who suffer from dysfunctional breathing tend to clench/grind their teeth, have improper low tongue positioning and may get sick easily. This client is a good candidate for breathwork and myofunctional therapy. Furthermore, any athlete who wishes to improve breathing efficiency to enhance their performance will equally benefit from this type of therapy. When these muscle dysfunctions are corrected, we can return to normal function and experience a significant enhancement in our quality of life.
How do I Know That Myofunctional Therapy is Effective?
