In this episode I interview Caroline Smith, who is one of the co-founders of The British Society Of Myofunctional Therapy. You may not have heard of this society and nor had I until quite recently. When I did discover them I was really excited by the potential of this work and how it can help a number of our patients. 

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is the “neuromuscular re-education or re-patterning of the orofacial muscles.” This therapy includes facial and tongue exercises and behavior modification techniques to promote proper tongue position, improved breathing, chewing, and swallowing. You may not be aware that most orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD)  originate with insufficient habitual nasal breathing or with oral (mouth) breathing. 

Caroline provides lot's of tips to help both locally in the mouth and systemically for the body. This is a really important podcast for anyone who may be suffering from airway and breathing issues.
