Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is a set of personalized physical therapy exercises to tone and coordinate the muscles of the face, throat and tongue to optimize nasal breathing, chewing and swallowing. Muscle function of the mouth can be negatively impacted by mouth breathing and improper tongue posture leading to restricted skeletal growth, poor sleep (including snoring & sleep apnea), speech issues, jaw pain with clicking or popping, restricted tongue mobility, headaches (including migraines), facial asymmetry, neck and shoulder tension, dental problems and more.
I work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan of daily exercises to meet your goals and, if needed, help coordinate your treatment with other dental and medical professionals including orthodontists, dentists, ENTs, SLPs, cranial sacral and massage therapists.

For many children with ADHD, poor sleep and breathing patterns make attention and behavior challenges worse. Myofunctional therapy trains children to breathe better and sleep more deeply, naturally enhancing their focus, calmness and daily function.
