My Myo My Health, Airway Therapy and Wellness

If we stopped brushing off sleep, parents would actually know what to look for.

Snoring every night means something is narrowing the airway your kid breathes through.

Allergies, inflammation, how those muscles are working, sometimes all of it at once.

It doesn’t outgrow itself.

It turns into other things. Attention and focus problems. Mood and emotional regulation. Oral health issues.

And almost nobody tells you myofunctional therapy is a place to start.

Teaching kids how to use their nose, keep it clear, and relearn how they breathe, chew and swallow. That’s where every kid who snores should start.

When the nose has been blocked for months, the tongue drops to the floor of the mouth and weakens. Breathing takes more effort than it should. Then the airway opens and someone says close your mouth and breathe through your nose.

Nobody just knows how to do that. The body keeps doing what it was set up to do.

If your kid had the surgery and you’re still seeing tired mornings, snoring, open mouth at rest, that’s not a failed surgery. That’s a body that was never taught what to do next.

Comment SLEEP and make sure you’re following me so it comes through. I’ll send you the five questions to ask before you book anything else. Phoenix, Mesa, or virtual.

Not many people know this, but, the body is all woven together.

There isn't one area that doesn't affect another.
That's why you should focus on your mouth and how you breathe first , before you work on your posture.

The tongue should rest up in the palate, the teeth slightly apart and nasal breathing should always be dominant.

Tongue posture and proper breathing are very underrated.
Don't forget to share this with someone else who needs this reminder.

OVER IT!

"Only more recently, a potential relationship between GERD and OSA has been studied [15]. One proposed mechanism is that the greater respiratory effort and the cough associated with respiratory conditions increase the pressure gradient across the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which in turn increases the pressure and promotes the opening of the LES, concomitantly increasing abdominal pressure and ultimately increasing the risk of gastric reflux by facilitating the retrograde movement of gastric contents [16]. Other explanations include hyperinflation interfering with the normal diaphragmatic contribution to the LES, the relaxing effect of bronchodilator medication on the LES function, and the high prevalence of hiatal hernia in these patients [17-19]. Finally, both OSA and GERD share many of the same risk factors. While the prevalence ..." Mahfouz, R., Barchuk, A., Obeidat, A. E., Mansour, M.

I spent years being told my sleep study was "normal."

Normal doesn't wake up 6 times a night. Normal doesn't clench so hard your jaw aches by 10am. Normal doesn't need a nap to survive a Tuesday.

Here's what nobody told me: the way we score sleep studies was built around how apnea shows up in men. Women's presentations — the microarousals, the fragmented sleep, the jaw pain, the exhaustion nobody can explain — slip right through the cracks. So we get sent home with an AHI under 5 and a shrug.

I stopped waiting for someone to hand me an answer and went after the airway and the nervous system myself.

Now, in my 40s: sleeping through the night. Waking up rested. Jaw isn't screaming at me.

And I teach this. Not as a last-resort referral after everything else failed — as the actual starting point.

If you've been told you're fine and you know you're not, you're not imagining it. 🤍

Comment SLEEP and I'll send you where to start.

Getting personal: I'm hypermobile. My hips sublux, my fingers bend back, I fatigue in ways I've had to learn to pace. The one part of me that isn't falling apart? My jaw — and that's not luck. I stabilize it every single day with the oral resting posture I had to learn through therapy.

That's the whole thing for our bendy patients. Connective-tissue laxity doesn't stop at the joints — it's in the palate, the jaw, the airway. So we don't pile on more exercises. We screen for it, slow down (lax tissue fatigues fast), pace around flares and dysautonomia, and anchor stability before we ever chase strength. A hypermobile body won't hand them stability. We build it — rep by rep.

Save this for your next bendy eval.
