We’ve been playing with defining this concept here at Evolved for about 9 months.

Breathing isn’t just in your lungs, it’s in your muscles, posture, airway & patterns.

Big B Breathing— structure & function. Muscles of the orofacial complex, airway, tissues that support breathing.

Little B Breathing— subtle changes. Tension points, bracing, regulation shifts.

Both matter. Both can change outcomes for speech, feeding, sleep & stress.

Do you have thoughts about Big B & Little B breathing?

Research confirms what many of us see in clinic: muscle tension plays a role in dysphagia. When muscles are “under pressure” swallowing becomes harder.

The good news?
Releasing tension in the larynx helped patients resolve problems.

For SLPs and patients alike MUSCLES MATTER.

Tension influences function.
Function influences swallowing.

Under pressure never made so much of a difference.

Two years of growing this practice I dreamed up into something beautiful. The people we serve are amazing & the people who’ve supported Evolved Therapy’s development are equally as priceless.

Lots of changes & even more impact without losing sight of the bigger vision. It’s all rooted in connection, community, & finding ways to be collaborative.

I couldn’t be more grateful & that is worth celebrating!♥️

Excited to announce that Erin has completed her certification in BMVT. She has studied and practiced for the past year and a half to be able to bring this specific manual work to our clients.

Don’t let the name of the certification “voice therapy” fool you. There are benefits for voice disorders but also for those receiving myofunctional therapy, struggling with muscle tension or swallowing challenges.

I’ve developed & taught seminars through the years all over the country but having my abstract accepted for the virtual talks at International Pediatric Feeding Disorders Conference was a huge deal for me. Getting the final product pulled together is even more of a huge deal & this little talk is just the start of the ideas being developed into an in depth practice course that will change the way we think of breathing during feeding and swallowing therapy.

It was a long week dragging through an upper respiratory illness and asthma flare, re-records, coffee spills, but we did it! Deadlines were met and the first iteration a mini talk 20 minutes detailing “Breathing for Better Eating” being finished!

Recorded, edited, and scheduled for March with the Virtual Feeding Matters course goes live. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to bring these concepts to a broad audience with specific interest in pediatric feeding disorders. I’ll be in AZ for the Feeding Matters in person conference too, if you’re there come find me :)

Telehealth is one part of our practice here at Evolved & both Alissa & Erin have spent time honing those techniques.

We believe that hybrid delivery is a great way to provide speciality services for those who aren’t right next door to a specialist & using a hybrid or all remote delivery model can work in many cases. It promotes family involvement which supports carryover of skills.

We are licensed to provide SLP services in MA, CA, AZ & WV.

It’s an adult class.
