Think of Myofunctional Therapy as physical therapy for the face. It helps restore the foundations of healthy facial function and airway mechanics, including:
When these essential functions are restored, many of the symptoms you’re experiencing can significantly improve or even be completely resolved.

Your tongue does far more than help you eat and speak. It plays a vital role in supporting your jaw stability, head posture, and spinal alignment. When it rests naturally against the roof of your mouth (the palate), it acts as an internal anchor, helping to align the bones of the jaw, head, and spine, which supports your overall posture.
But posture isn’t the only thing affected.
Proper tongue position also helps keep teeth in place, supports a functional bite, and even contributes to nervous system regulation. By gently stimulating the vagus nerve, a well-positioned tongue can promote a sense of calm, focus, and balance. On the flip side, when the tongue falls low or forward (often from mouth breathing or a tongue tie), it can lead to feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, and mental fog, affecting every area of life.
