MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY

Transform Your Breathing, Sleep, and Overall Health

About Louise

With over 20 years of experience as a dental hygienist, I have recently qualified as a myofunctional therapist, combining my extensive dental expertise with specialized training in orofacial myology.

Throughout my career in dental hygiene, I've witnessed firsthand how oral muscle function affects overall health, from breathing patterns to sleep quality. This inspired me to pursue advanced training in myofunctional therapy, allowing me to address the root causes of many common health issues.

My approach integrates evidence-based techniques with personalized care, helping patients of all ages achieve better breathing, improved sleep, and enhanced oral function through targeted exercises and habit modification.

What is Myofunctional Therapy?

Myofunctional therapy is a specialized treatment program that addresses improper function of the tongue and facial muscles. These muscles play a crucial role in breathing, swallowing, speaking, and facial development.

Through customized exercises and techniques, myofunctional therapy helps retrain these muscles to function correctly, leading to improvements in breathing patterns, sleep quality, facial development, and overall health.

This non-invasive approach can benefit people of all ages, from children experiencing developmental issues to adults dealing with sleep disorders, TMJ dysfunction, or breathing problems.
