What is Myofunctional Therapy?
Myofunctional Therapy is a gentle exercise program for the muscles of the face, mouth, and throat. By strengthening and toning these muscles—especially the tongue—it helps improve breathing, chewing, swallowing, and speaking, which in turn can boost sleep quality, energy, and overall health.
Why is it Important?
The way we breathe and how our muscles work together affect many areas of health. Issues like mouth breathing, snoring, teeth grinding, and poor swallowing often stem from improper muscle function. Myofunctional Therapy retrains and strengthens these muscles to support better oxygen flow, restful sleep, and a more balanced, healthy smile.
How it Works
Through easy, customized exercises, Myofunctional Therapy promotes:
- Nasal breathing for better oxygen intake
- Proper tongue posture and muscle tone to support jaw development
- Efficient swallowing patterns for improved comfort and function
Who Can Benefit?
Myofunctional Therapy can benefit children with breathing or speech issues and adults with sleep problems or jaw discomfort. With just a few minutes of daily practice, it’s a convenient approach to better health at any age.
