Myofunctional Therapy for Sleep Apnea

Myofunctional Therapy is a natural, exercise-based treatment that focuses on strengthening the muscles of the tongue, mouth, and throat. These exercises help improve airway tone, reduce airway collapse during sleep, and support better breathing patterns—making it a valuable therapy for people with Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).


How It Helps in Sleep Apnea

Strengthens Weak Airway Muscles

Weak oral and throat muscles can collapse during sleep, blocking the airway.
Myofunctional therapy targets these muscles, improving tone and stability.

Corrects Tongue Position

A low or backward tongue posture is a major cause of snoring and apnea.
Exercises train the tongue to rest in the correct position, keeping the airway open.

Encourages Nasal Breathing

The therapy helps reduce mouth-breathing habit, promoting healthier nasal breathing.

Reduces Snoring

Improved muscle control decreases vibration in the upper airway, reducing snoring intensity.

Supports CPAP Alternatives

Patients who struggle with CPAP can combine myofunctional therapy with oral appliances for better results.
