Breathe Better, Sleep Deeper: Myofunctional Therapy for Sleep Apnea
Ever wake up feeling like you barely slept?
Snoring like a freight train? Struggling with brain fog and exhaustion during the day? You’re not alone—sleep apnea is a common problem that can seriously impact your health. But here’s the good news: myofunctional therapy can help!
What’s Myofunctional Therapy, and How Does It Help Sleep Apnea?
Think of it like a workout for your mouth and throat! Myofunctional therapy is a series of simple exercises that strengthen the muscles involved in breathing, swallowing, and even posture.
For people with sleep apnea, weak muscles in the tongue, throat, and airway can collapse during sleep, making it harder to breathe. By training these muscles, we can help keep your airway open—leading to:
-
Better sleep quality (wake up refreshed!)
-
Reduced snoring (your partner will love it!)
-
Easier breathing (no more gasping at night)
-
More oxygen to your brain (think clearer!)
-
Better focus (no more mental fog)
-
Better brain health (lower dementia risk and Alzeimer's)
-
Less reliance on CPAP (most people skip them!)
-
Decrease anxiety (less stress, more calm)
