Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy
A unique ability to provide specialised speech pathology services such as Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT), in tandem with CranioSacral Therapy.
OMT is a therapeutic approach that focuses on improving the function of the muscles in your face, mouth, and jaw. This can help address various concerns, including:
- Difficulty chewing and swallowing
- Problems with speech
- Breathing issues, such as mouth breathing
- Tongue thrusting
OMT helps you retrain the muscles to work together more efficiently and aims to improve the resting position of your tongue and jaw, promoting better alignment.
By addressing these issues, OMT can contribute to improved oral health, sleep quality, and even digestion.
OMT can be beneficial for both children and adults. It’s often used in conjunction with other therapies, such as orthodontics or speech therapy.
