Bodywork Supporting Myofunctional Therapy, Tongue Tie Release, and MMA Surgery
If you are in myofunctional therapy, preparing for tongue tie release surgery, or preparing for maxillomandibular advancement surgery (MMA), bodywork can be a valuable part of your comprehensive treatment plan.
I have seen the positive effect the myofunctionally-informed bodywork I offer can have for oral motor function in babies. I also have first-hand experience of the positive changes that can accompany myofunctional therapy -- and the increased neck and jaw tension that can accompany it for some people. I am excited to offer massage and bodywork to adults and older children in support of myofunctional therapy and surgical preparation/recovery. I am particularly interested in helping pregnant clients optimize sleep to promote their own wellbeing and healthy fetal development.
