Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy(OMT) is physiotherapy for the face, mouth, lips and tongue!

Myofunctional Therapy is all about reprogramming your default patterns and changing habits, behaviours and muscle patterns to improve the way you breathe, chew, swallow, sleep, speak and rest your tongue.

Common myofunctional disorders are:

The goal of Myofunctional Therapy Wellness is to improve oral and facial muscle movements. Personalized exercises aim to address the incorrect patterns and improve your ability to chew, swallow, speak, and more.

Myofunctional therapy for kids helps them to learn healthy habits. Incorrect functional patterns, like improper tongue rest posture or open mouth breathing, all affect facial development and prevent proper facial growth.

Poor breathing habits don’t only affect kids, they can also pose issues for adults. For example, low tone or restricted tongue mobility can lead to mouth breathing in adults. Myofunctional therapy can help adults correct breathing habits, but it can also help to alleviate TMJ pain, chronic headaches, bruxism, obstructive sleep apnea, and poor posture.

Myofunctional therapy aims to resolve the underlying cause of the issues mentioned, not only the symptoms. First, we assess your neck and jaw for compensation during eating, speaking, and swallowing.
