Myofunctional therapy is a specialized method of audiology therapy aimed at restoring the proper functioning of the muscles of the face, jaws, tongue and breathing. Therapy helps correct habits that affect breathing, swallowing, speech articulation and facial muscle balance.
Myofunctional therapy class is recommended if:
open lips when awake and/or asleep; breathing through the mouth, especially in children; wrong resting position of the tongue or way of swallowing; orthodontic treatment, the effectiveness of which is affected by incorrect muscle habits; snoring or sleep breathing disorders, the reduction of which requires strengthening the orofacial muscles; articulation disorders associated with weak musculature; post-operative rehabilitation, for example, after adenotomy or tongue-tie correction. Timely treatment helps to improve breathing, swallowing and articulation habits.
To make the lesson as effective as possible:
an audiologist consultation is required before the first lesson; regularly perform the exercises recommended by the specialist between classes; parental involvement and support in homework is essential for children.
During the lesson, the audiologist:
perform targeted exercises for the muscles of the tongue, lips, cheeks and jaws; trains correct habits of breathing, swallowing and resting position of the tongue; track progress and adjust exercise intensity; teaches the patient or the child's parents exercises for independent work at home.
The patient receives:
individually adapted exercises for homework; progress evaluations and necessary corrections in the therapy plan; recommendations on the time and frequency of the next lesson.
