I spy with my "myo" eye...

First, we must understand that Noses are for Breathing, and Mouths are for Eating.  You would be worried if you saw your child use their nose to eat.  Well, you should be worried if they use their mouth to breath. 

Nasal (nose) breathing is hierarchically the most important function for humans to thrive.  Sadly, over half of our children are routinely breathing through their mouths.  Many, unaware of the potential consequences this could be having on their growth, development and function.

Some potential consequences of poor sleep include:

• impulsivity

• inattention

• hyperactivity

• restlessness

• aggression

• emotional ability

• ridged thinking

​

Another reason why this is a big deal is that by the age of SIX, 80% of our growth is competed.  By the age of 8-10, 90% is completed.  This is astounding and why I work with a team of professionals to intercept and take advantage of this growth, not wait and throw a band aid on it later.

Myofunctional programs improve the muscle systems if the mouth, face, throat and improve the airway, along with retraining breathing habits.  AND...it's fun!
