Back To Your Roots Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy - OMT

My passion is to understand the “root cause” of orofacial concerns. It’s like “Physio” Therapy for the face, mouth, lips and tongue!

I am an airway health advocate that provides therapy for orofacial muscle development, function and tone.

Holiday schedules can make routines tricky—but here are a few simple ways to support oral function during the busy season:

🎄 Try to maintain nasal breathing
🎄 Drink water before sugary treats
🎄 Slow down and chew your food
🎄 Check in on your tongue posture
🎄 Follow a sleep hygiene routine

Yes, you can still enjoy a few treats and live in your pajamas over the holidays!
Little habits add up and will help support nervous system regulation!

Tongue posture during the day influences how the airway performs at night. When the tongue rests low, the airway can narrow—leading to snoring and disrupted sleep. OMT helps train proper tongue position to support healthier airflow 24/7.

Your health is dependent upon an open airway, healthy nasal breathing and deep restorative sleep!

Chewing isn’t just about breaking down food for your digestion— it's a “gym workout” for the jaw, tongue, and facial muscles.

✔ Supports digestion
✔ Strengthens oral muscles
✔ Stimulates proper orofacial development

Encourage foods that require real effort like raw apples, carrots, and nuts (when age-appropriate).

Some common warning signs that the orofacial system may not be functioning optimally:

❗ Mouth breathing
❗ Tongue thrust
❗ Habitual open-mouth posture
❗ Snoring, fragmented sleep
❗ Difficulty chewing or swallowing

If any of these sound familiar, an OMT assessment will be your first STEP in making changes!

Orofacial Myology focuses on the function, strength, and coordination of the muscles of the face, tongue, lips, and jaw. We often refer to it as “physical therapy for the face, mouth, lips and tongue”

If breathing, speech, chewing, sleep, or dental development are affected—OMT can help provide a solution to restore ideal function and mobility.

Did you know proper tongue posture supports healthy facial and jaw development—especially in children? It also provides the ideal support for the jaw at rest. A tongue resting low in the mouth can contribute to narrow arches, crowded teeth, leading to long-term airway challenges.

✨ Myofunctional therapy helps guide optimal tongue placement for lifelong benefits.

👅 A tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) can affect speech, feeding, and oral development.

OMT helps before and after release to strengthen and retrain the tongue for proper movement and function.

Early detection and the correct exercises with guidance and support from a Myofunctional Therapist make all the difference!

🍎 Chewing and swallowing might seem automatic—but how you do them matters!

Mindful chewing (keeping lips closed, chewing evenly with tongue sealed up while swallowing) supports proper jaw function and digestion.

Slow down and notice how your muscles are working the next time you eat!

Kelly Hall, RDH - Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist

Hi, I’m Kelly

I am a dedicated, caring professional that embraces the natural health approach and whole body wellness.

I provide gentle thorough care by meeting individual needs and restoring patients health and wellness. I graduated with Honours in 2006 at the Canadian Academy of Dental Hygiene in Mississauga.

My journey to becoming a Myofunctional Therapist began when I became passionate about the strong connection between oral health and the connection to the body. As I started my myofunctional therapy training and began helping my patients I starting learning more about my own orofacial myofunctional symptoms. This is when I became increasingly interested in natural health and wellness. I wanted to understand the root cause of not only oral myofunctional problems, but poor health in general.

This is where the name of my company was inspired from: Back to Your Roots. This interest became a passion that drove me to look further into how the airway, craniofacial development, breathing, and tongue are all linked to our overall health, sleep, and well being.

I also started asking the bigger questions. Why had I never heard of this field? Why did none of my own doctors and dentists notice my symptoms when I was a child? How come so few of my professional colleagues were even aware of this connection?

Once I began my journey into my myofunctional therapy practice, it didn’t take me long to realize that most dentists, pediatricions, orthodontists, and ENTs didn't fully understand oral myofunctional therapy because they were simply never trained in this topic as part of their medical or dental education. This was discouraging to me, as working with my patients I could see the impact of oral myofunctional disorders. On the bright side, I knew that I could make a difference, as myofunctional therapy can literally be LIFE CHANGING!

I started to see so many patients with serious health problems including sleep apnea, severe facial pain and jaw tension, and undiagnosed tongue-ties. To help these complex cases, I am able to work along side a network of specialists to ensure the best needs of the patients are met. I'm passionate about connecting with, and creating a powerful network of dentists, doctors, and healthcare providers who are interested in changing the status quo and making a difference in the lives of patients with oral health and breathing problems.

In addition to the unique treatment protocols and exercises that I’ve developed, I will be offering a program soon that will incorporate The Buteyko Breathing Method for stress and anxiety management.
