48// Got snoring, sleep apnea, TMJ, or teeth grinding? You may need an Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist! - with Madison Scott, RDH, Myofunctional Therapist

We just concluded a series of episodes on ways the gut is connected to other parts of the body: the Gut-Skin, Gut-Breath, and Gut-Sinus connections.

In honor of the Gut-Sinus connection, I wanted to bring in an EXPERT in the orofacial complex: Madison Scott, RDH, Myofunctional Therapist!

Myofunctional therapy is a treatment that examines how the tongue and oral muscles move and function, utilizing exercises to improve muscle tone and therapies to change habits.

You may be benefit from this therapy if you experience:

• Mouth breathing
• Headaches
• Neck pain
• GERD
• TMJ pain
• Thumb sucking, nail-biting, or other habits
• Issues with tongue posture
• Sleep Apnea and/or Snoring
• Tongue tie

If this sounds like you (or one of your kiddos) tune in to learn about the importance of a healthy orofacial complex and what you can do to bring it back into harmony!
