Expert myofunctional therapy for all ages.
Hi I am Steph Zimola a Myofunctional therapist in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I have been a registered dental hygienist for 20 years, I cant believe it! At The Myo Studio, we specialize in Myofunctional therapy to assist both children and adults in optimising their oral function. Our focus includes improving nasal breathing, lip seal, tongue posture, and chewing skills.
Please reach us at stephaniezimola@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Myofunctional therapy is proper oral function focusing on nasal breathing, lip seal, tongue placement/posture, and proper chewing. When any of these four foundations are out of alignment we often see compensations, complications and oral dysfunctions.
Kids and adults can both benefit from Myofunctional therapy if they are experiencing oral dysfunction. Some examples of oral dysfunctions are mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, thumb sucking/pacifier use, snoring/sleep issues, sleep apnea, TMJ/TMD issues, clenching, grinding. In children especially some of the above dysfunctions can contributed to hyperactive behaviour, chronic colds, swollen tonsils/adenoids, bed wetting, nightmares, dark under eyes, fatigue, drooling, and messy eating to name a few.
Myofunctional therapy sessions usually take 30-45 minutes every two weeks. In between session you are required to complete your myofunctional therapy excersies daily for 10-15 minutes. Consistency is key if you are not doing the exercises it will difficult to see progress. Full Myofunctional programs usually requires 10-12 appointments depending on the person. Appointments can be done in person at Kinetically Whole Therapies or virtually.
