I’m always a little hesitant to bring up tongue pulls… but apparently y’all like the weird stuff 👅😄
Truth be told, this isn’t some new trendy thing I just started doing. I’ve been trained in intraoral work and tongue traction for a while now.
Usually, I treat it like relationship stages…
First session?
We’re just getting to know each other. Building trust. Keeping things comfortable. Nobody’s talking about tongue pulls yet 😆
By session three though?
By then we've built a little trust and rapport there and I might say, “Alright… let’s talk about what’s happening in the mouth and tongue.”
But lately??
I don’t know if it's a Tik Tok thing or what but suddenly folks are calling the office like:
“So… do you do tongue pulls?” 👀
And I’m over here thinking…
We haven’t even had session one yet 😂
Now listen, if your body is leading me there and I feel like it’s worth your session time, I’m all in… even on the first visit.
I just don’t rush into it. Some work you ease into once your body relaxes, guarding drops, and we see the bigger pattern start to show itself.
Because when you realize how much tension the tongue holds and how connected it is to jaw pain, neck tightness, headaches, swallowing patterns, posture, and airway, it makes sense why the work can be so powerful.
So if you’ve heard me mention it… or TikTok sent you down the rabbit hole… now you know what I’m talking about 😉
And if it’s something your body could benefit from, we’ll go there when the timing feels right.
