Did you know myofunctional therapy has been around for over 100 years? 📜
In 1918, orthodontist Dr. Alfred P. Rogers introduced exercises for the face and mouth muscles. He noticed that how we breathe, swallow, and rest our tongue affects how our teeth and jaws develop. That idea became the foundation of orofacial myology. 👅🦷
In 1971, the International Association of Orofacial Myology (IAOM) was founded to set professional standards, support research, and certify therapists, so patients know they’re working with trained, qualified providers.
I just got back from the IAOM convention in Hawaii 🌺, where I learned from leaders in the field and connected with myo therapists from around the world. Sessions covered mold toxicity and airway inflammation, neural crest cell development, the tongue’s role in sleep patterns, primitive reflex testing, sound and vibrational frequency, and so much more! 🧠✨As a Certified Orofacial Myologist (COM®), I’m excited to bring it all back to my clients in Las Vegas.
