Airway Therapy
Oro Myo Functional Therapy
Have you ever thought about how your tongue affects your overall health?
Many people don’t realize that the way we breathe, chew, swallow, and rest our tongue has a profound impact on our body.
This is where Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMFT)
comes in – a holistic approach to retraining oral and facial muscles for better health.
Unlock the power of optimal oral function with Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMFT)!
Our holistic approach helps improve breathing, posture, and overall wellness by addressing dysfunctional oral habits.
Your tongue plays a crucial role in your health, from proper swallowing to airway support. If left uncorrected, improper tongue posture and weak orofacial muscles can lead to sleep apnea, speech difficulties, TMJ issues, and poor facial development.
Discover how OMFT can enhance your well-being naturally.
What Is OMFT and How Does It Work?
OMFT is a specialized therapy designed to correct dysfunctional oral habits that can affect breathing, swallowing, posture, and even facial development.
Through guided exercises and techniques, OMFT helps restore the natural function of orofacial muscles, ensuring they work in harmony for optimal health.
The therapy focuses on:
Tongue Posture: Training the tongue to rest properly against the palate.
Breathing Patterns: Encouraging nasal breathing instead of mouth breathing.
Swallowing and Chewing: Developing correct muscle function for digestion and speech.
Oral Habits: Eliminating thumb-sucking, tongue thrusting, and other dysfunctional behaviors.
Why Is It So Important to Address Our Oral Function and Habits?
Oral function and habits play a vital role in overall health and well-being. Addressing these aspects is crucial because:
Supports Proper Breathing: Mouth breathing can lead to oxygen deprivation, fatigue, and sleep disturbances, while nasal breathing filters and humidifies air for better health.
Affects Facial and Jaw Development: Poor oral habits can lead to improper jaw growth, misaligned teeth, and an unbalanced facial structure.
Prevents Speech and Swallowing Issues: Dysfunctional oral muscles can contribute to speech impediments, improper swallowing, and even digestive issues.
Reduces Risk of TMJ Disorders and Pain: When oral muscles are not functioning properly, it can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and chronic discomfort.
Improves Sleep Quality: Correcting tongue posture and breathing patterns can help prevent snoring, sleep apnea, and interrupted sleep cycles.
Enhances Digestion: Proper chewing and swallowing techniques contribute to effective digestion and nutrient absorption.
By addressing oral function early, you can prevent long-term health issues and support overall well-being.
Why Is Our Tongue So Important for Health and Breathing?
The tongue is a small but powerful muscle that influences multiple aspects of our well-being:
Airway Health: A well-positioned tongue supports the airway, reducing the risk of breathing difficulties, snoring, and sleep apnea.
Posture and Facial Development: Proper tongue posture promotes a well-defined jawline, balanced facial growth, and prevents issues like TMJ disorders.
Speech and Swallowing: Dysfunctional tongue movement can lead to speech impediments, improper swallowing, and even digestive issues.
What Happens If Our Tongue Muscles Don’t Function Optimally?
When orofacial muscles aren’t working correctly, it can lead to a cascade of health problems, including:
Mouth Breathing: Can cause dry mouth, increased risk of cavities, and even changes in facial structure.
Sleep Disorders: Poor tongue posture can contribute to airway obstruction, leading to sleep apnea and restless nights.
TMJ Pain and Headaches: Incorrect muscle function can create jaw tension, leading to discomfort and chronic pain.
Poor Digestion: Improper swallowing can affect how food is broken down and digested.

NADA was developed by an American doctor who discovered that ear acupuncture could significantly alleviate the withdrawal symptoms of drug addicts in connection with detoxification and psychotherapy.
NADA is short for National Acupuncture Detoxification Association. Since then, it has been learned that the method is beneficial for a wider spectrum of ailments and that it is an excellent supplement to other forms of treatment such as cognitive therapy, mindfulness, stop smoking, diet, fear therapy, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, anger management, sleep problems etc.
Words from our Clients for services
I have been having acupuncture with Connie for more than a month now, once a week. I began treatment for poor sleep patterns and quite severe pain from an ongoing condition. From the day, following the first treatment, my sleep has improved beyond belief. I rarely have a poor night's sleep now. Also my pain levels are much reduced. Instead of taking analgesics maybe 3 times per day, it is now usually once a day, but some days no medication. Thank you so much Connie.

Initially, I decided to try the ear acupuncture procedure in the hope of improving the condition of my leg - I have a diagnosis of arthrosis. Unfortunately, acupuncture did not help me here. But I noticed changes in my mental state. I began to concentrate better. My performance also increased. I am a software engineer and these changes helped me a lot in my work. Thanks to this, I was able to show myself well in one large project at work. Overall, I am very pleased with the results, although they manifested themselves in a different quality than I initially expected.
