Myofunctional Therapy
Myo therapy can make such a difference in the outcome of the release that it is a requirement at our practice.
There is a proper way for the tongue and lips to function. When you have a tongue and/or lip tie you cannot function properly, and your mouth and body begins to compensate.
Myofunctional therapy retrains the muscle memories, and prepares the tongue and lips for the release so that you do not resort back to the previous dysfunction.
Completing myofunctional therapy before (and often times after) a release ensures that the patient recovers faster and reaps the maximum benefits of the release.
Body Work
Tongue and lip ties create tension in the mouth, and because the fascia is how we are connected from head to toe, this results in tension throughout the entire body.
Bodyworkers help release the tension pre-surgery, ensuring the surgery is easier for both the surgeon and patient. The less tension in the mouth, neck, and head before and after surgery means less tension on the wound and overall better healing. To reap the maximum benefits, bodywork before AND after a release is recommended.
