Myofunctional Therapy is specific and customized exercises that concentrate on the tongue, mouth, lips and throat. It strengthens these muscles to improve simple functions like breathing, swallowing, chewing and speaking. By doing so, this behavior modification can eliminate many of the impairments, or symptoms, we have grown accustomed to dealing with everyday and promote a desired parasympathetic nervous system response. Shifting your focus towards strengthening the tongue, oropharyngeal, lip and facial muscles allows us to resolve the root cause of many of these myofunctional impairments!
