The tongue acts like a switch for nasal breathing!

When your tongue is resting up against the palate, the only way you can breathe is in and out of the nose. 👃

If you’re noticing habitual mouth breathing, it might be helpful to check for restrictions or other factors that could be affecting your tongue’s resting posture.

Why Orofacial Muscle Strengthening is Important??

Orofacial muscles include those in the face, mouth, and neck. They play crucial roles in speech, swallowing, breathing, and facial expressions. Weak orofacial muscles can lead to mouth breathing, snoring, and even sleep apnea. These conditions can significantly impact your quality of life, causing disrupted sleep, daytime fatigue, and other health complications.

They need to be in a program that supports their emotional regulation , executive function skills, is purposeful and a program that equips caregivers with strategies and skills to carryover the learned skills into the home . Children need unstructured time to play, explore, be outside , and have fun.
