🛑 There’s no such thing as a “mild” tongue tie. 🛑

Tongue restrictions can impact people in so many ways, and no two cases are the same. What may seem “minor” visually could lead to significant challenges in other areas of life. Here’s why:

➡️ The tongue is a vital part of your body’s system, influencing:
💬 Speech
🍴 Eating and swallowing
🛌 Sleep and breathing
🦷 Jaw and airway development
💪 Body posture and movement

Even a small restriction can force your body to overcompensate, which can cause:
❌ Poor sleep quality
❌ Breathing difficulties
❌ Changes in jaw alignment
❌ Tension in the neck, shoulders, or even posture

👉 Diagnosing a tongue tie isn’t just about looking at the tongue. It requires a functional evaluation by a trained professional who can assess how your tongue’s movement affects your whole body—your airway, your sleep, and your overall health.

✨ Remember, it’s not about how it looks—it’s about how it works.

Hey there, friends! 👋

Let's talk about something super important: how tongue restriction can make it harder to breathe through your nose.

🚫 **What is Tongue Restriction?**
When your tongue movement is restricted due to limited mobility of the frenulum, fascia, and genioglossus muscle, it pulls the tongue down into the floor of your mouth.

🔄 **Impact on Breathing**
When your tongue is pulled down, it makes it difficult for the back of your tongue to elevate. This restricts your airways and makes nose breathing harder.

🌬️ **Why Elevate the Tongue?**
For optimal nose breathing, the back of your tongue should rise and press against the roof of your mouth. This helps keep your airways open and makes breathing much easier.

**Try this**: Take a deep breath in through your nose with your mouth open wide. Where does the back of your tongue go?

👇 **Comment below** and share what you feel! Does your tongue stay low, or does it elevate?

Understanding your tongue's position can help you breathe better and feel better. Keep practicing! 🌟

Clearing the Air: "Posterior Tongue Tie Terminology Correction"

📣 Those of us providers who specialize in tongue mobility and function have referred to tongue ties involving deeper layers of muscle and fascia as "posterior" ties or restrictions for many years. That is because the restriction was posterior to the frenulum. That has created confusion or a lack of universal understanding with providers who are not specialized in tongue mobility and function because they are thinking about the anatomical posterior portion of the tongue.

📣 To clear it up and streamline the language, we are using "mid-tongue restriction." The area of the tongue that is restricted is the middle 1/3 of the tongue, not the posterior 1/3. The amazing Dr. Soroush Zaghi and the incredible team at The Breathe Institute give so much with their time and resources to continue to advance our techniques and protocols. Huge shout out and kudos to them! 👏

📣 The same treatment recommendations still apply. We're just using different words to describe where the restriction of the tongue is from an anatomical perspective.

Clear as mud? 🤪 Does the new terminology make more sense?
