Real Patients, Real Results
Therapy focused on softening muscles that were overactive while getting those less-active muscles to begin moving.
The patient loved the aesthetic changes to her face as her muscles balanced.
She also told us that her mom noticed something was different (in a positive way), but couldn't put her finger on it!
Watch her video testimonial below.
This teen’s tongue was creating the gaps between her teeth, and the orthodontist refused to put braces on the patient until her tongue was resting and swallowing without pressure on the teeth.
The teen was eager to have a great smile and did her work. The changes you see in the photos are a result of only doing myofunctional therapy - no orthodontia!
This 8-year-old came to our office with a crooked palate from how her tongue was resting and swallowing.
We were ecstatic to see her changes at her check-up!
Severe neck pain disappeared once she learned how to stop overusing the back of her neck for nearly every activity!
The overactive muscle bulge disappeared, and her neck felt great!
Physical therapy, breath work, and muscle balancing from head to toe were the targets of therapy beyond preparing the patient for a tongue tie release, then supporting her integration following the procedure.
Her benefits:
Chronic Pain Gone: No longer wakes up with the daily neck, shoulder, back pain, or headaches she had before.
Immediate Tension Release: A significant release of tension in her head, neck, and shoulders occurred right after her tongue tie release.
Improved Flexibility & Function: Gained a much wider range of motion and can now walk faster without pain or a high heart rate.
Better Breathing: Can now take full, deep breaths from the diaphragm.
Reduced Sensory Issues: Headaches from wearing glasses or hair up have stopped, and ringing in the ears (tinnitus) has lessened.
Deeper Sleep: Is experiencing more restorative, higher-quality sleep.
Improved Mental Health: She has seen enough improvement in anxiety and sleep to discontinue medication and reduce therapy
From red to yellow to green, this patient demonstrated that using only myofunctional therapy can help reduce her sleep apnea!
Learning how to use "the right" muscles to smile made this child even cuter!
Immediately after a tongue tie is released, you can see the patient's head position relax in length and move back as she can breathe better.
Her neck muscles became less activated, promoting more whole-body wellness.
With this client, we met for 7 therapy sessions over the course of 6 months. During our sessions, we focused on teaching this 9-year-old client where to rest her tongue and lips, resulting in a great shift in her smile (all with just myofunctional therapy)!
