Just a reminder...

Have you ever thought about how your tongue could be affecting your posture even all the way down to your feet?

What if something as simple as where your tongue rests in your mouth could influence your body’s alignment, balance, and even breathing?

The tongue is more than just a muscle for speaking and eating, it’s deeply connected to the body through fascia, an intricate web of connective tissue that links the tongue to the feet.

When your tongue isn’t positioned correctly due to mouth breathing, it can disrupt this entire system, leading to imbalances in posture, spinal alignment, and even how much energy your body uses throughout the day.

Could improving tongue posture be the missing key to better posture, core strength, and overall movement efficiency?

Correcting your tongue posture is an important step for better health.

The roof the mouth is innervated with parasympathetic cranial nerves, proper tongue posture pressing to the palate, activates these calming nerves.

Tongue to the roof of the mouth also activates the muscles in the throat and neck to keep the airway behind the mouth open.

During sleep it’s critical this airway stays open.

There are a number of issues associated with improper tongue placement, including:
• Snoring and sleep apnea
• Bite dysfunction
• Improper swallowing
• Crowded teeth or front gaps
• Muscular pain in the mouth
• Temporomandibular joint dysfunction
• Neck pain/tension (due to joint dysfunction)
• Developmental problems relating to the jaw and other areas
• Headaches

Most of us have received little or no instruction on proper tongue placement, but mewing is easy as long as you follow these steps:
• Instead of allowing your tongue to lie at the base of your mouth, place the tip against your hard palate (located behind the upper front teeth).
• Flatten the rest of your tongue until it’s fully pressed up against the roof of your mouth.
• Seal your lips and keep your teeth slightly apart.

Couldn’t find the spot? Try this exercise.
Start by making a big, cheezy grin and raising your eyebrows. Now, try to swallow while keeping your teeth clenched. This may be difficult, but if you can do it successfully, you will feel the back of your tongue pressing against the roof of your mouth–This is where you want it to be.

When correcting tongue posture remember that awareness is key; try to get a better sense of your oral posture throughout the day. Where is your tongue usually situated?

Is it pressing against your front teeth or lying passively on the floor of your mouth?

While monitoring your tongue’s position, also take note of your breathing. Are your lips frequently open?

If so, you’re probably breathing through your mouth, and this is often a sign of poor tongue posture.
