Why it matters:
The Cork Pull builds lip seal strength and awareness - two key elements for breathing through the nose, maintaining proper oral posture, and supporting speech and feeding goals. It helps in making cheeks strong.
How to Do It:
1 Place a wine cork (or similar tool) just inside your lips (not your teeth!)
2 Suction your lips closed around the cork as tightly as possible
3 Gently pull the cork forward while maintaining suction
4 Keep pulling until the cork pops out — with control!
Repeat 6 times!
