Today I had the pleasure of joining Kelly Meyer on WHBL to discuss Myofunctional Therapy!

Take a listen to gain a good overview on who Myofunctional Therapy is for and helps.

Do you have concerns about thumb sucking, nail biting or other non-nutritive oral habits?

These are all symptoms of reduced airway and restrictive breathing that is not only affecting your child now but will affect them in a greater way as their grow older.

Take a listen to learn more about how Myofunctional Therapy can help with these common ailments and retrain your child's muscles for improved breathing, improved immunity and a better muscular development.

I know first hand the magic that happens when you retrain your muscles for improved breathing and swallow function. I not only practice and teach Myofunctional Therapy but I have used it to change my health in vastly improved ways.

Before Myofunctional Therapy I struggled with lifelong allergies, constant mouth breathing, endless nasal congestion, sleep apnea and surgeries.

Tune in to hear about my lifelong allergy struggles and some of the procedures that have helped me before I knew about the world of Myofunctional Therapy!

Have you ever heard of lip taping before?

Does the thought of it scare you?

Lip taping at night is not new and has been around for a long time! It became a "life hack" after it exploded on TikTok a few years ago.

Watch and listen as I talk about why we sometimes recommend it and how it may benefit you.

My favorite brand of tape is MyoTape. It goes around the mouth and does not cover the lips. Save a few bucks on MyoTape by using my affiliate link:

This micro episode gives a simple summary of the different types of sleep/breathing disturbances that occur at night such as snoring, teeth grinding, jaw clenching, TMJ, sleep apnea and upper airway resistance.

Sleep is your SUPERPOWER! We need sleep for every single body to function properly! If you have been suffering from TMJ, Teeth grinding, snoring and just poor quality sleep in general, you're going to want to tune into this episode as Becca talks about common sleep issues and how Myofunctional therapy can retrain your body to overcome them.

Your quality of life becomes exponentially better when you sleep better just as your quality of life decreases when you get poor sleep.

Haven't been successful in the sleep department? Listen to learn more!

Myofunctional Therapy focuses on the muscles of the face, mouth and tongue. WHAT!?! You didn't even know that was a thing? OH, let me explain! There are approx. 30 muscles in your face and all of these muscles need to function properly to do things like SLEEP, BREATHE, CHEW, SWALLOW, SPEAK, and EMOTE.

The focus of this, our very first episode, is to make an introduction and discuss a bit more about what we do and how we help you!

We'd love it if you'd share this with those in your life who have trouble with snoring, breathing and clenching/grinding of teeth. Let's talk about you and your symptoms and tailor a plan just for you!

Hello! I am Becca Rose and I own Myofunctional Pathways in Sheboygan, WI. I help clients sleep better, stop snoring, chew and swallow better, help with clenching, grinding of teeth and TMJ pain when nothing else has helped.
