Better function, Better health

What to expect from therapy sessions

All therapy sessions are delivered online. Each session requires 30 minutes of uninterrupted time. These sessions will provide you with targeted exercises and reviews over a period of approximately 12 weeks. Initial sessions have fortnightly intervals which will increase to monthly in the latter stages of therapy.


To get the most from your therapy, choose a quiet, distraction free space where you can focus fully on the session. 


Please have your MYO KIT BAG at every appointment. If any additional items are needed for future sessions, we will let you know at the end of your appointment. Have a pen and notebook ready to take notes. 


Sessions are personalised based on your individual needs, Progress is assessed at regular intervals and exercises are adjusted along the way to your individual ability and compensations.  The aim of therapy is to teach the body new, functional movement patterns and establish strong, lasting results. 


Myofunctional therapy is not intended to be a long-term treatment. The aim is to train the muscles to function optimally - as nature intended - and to establish healthy patterns for breathing, swallowing, and oral rest posture. Once these habits are learned and integrated into daily life, they are designed to be maintained for a lifetime.


We are here to support you at every step of your myofunctional journey. You will always be able to reach out to your therapist in between sessions any time you need a little extra support – just email. We are here for you!



Better Function, Better health

Why therapy matters

Dysfunction in the orofacial system can ripple across your entire body, impacting how you breathe, speak, sleep, and thrive. Our in-depth assessment provides a personalised therapy plan based on your specific needs, goals, and long-term health. 


A therapist-led myofunctional therapy programme is tailored to your specific muscle patterns, breathing, symptoms and personal compensations.  Your therapist can correct technique in real time, adjust exercises that feel too challenging in the beginning and modify those that don’t challenge you enough. This ensures you are building the right habits, leading to faster, safer and more lasting results.  


Think of myofunctional therapy like physiotherapy after an injury.   Watching generic Instagram or TikTok videos may show you what to do but without a trained therapist guiding you, it’s easy to use the wrong muscles or perform exercises incorrectly. That can slow progress and, in some cases, reinforce bad habits that do more harm than good. 


The programme requires commitment to a bespoke treatment plan and an expectation you will practice twice daily for the duration of the therapy – eventually adapting so the correct function becomes your normal function at the end of the 12-session programme. 


Myofunctional Therapy does not offer a quick fix. It takes consistency and commitment to practice (up to 10 minutes twice a day – every day). It is highly effective at restoring proper oral function. Each individual case presents a different challenge and some cases require a multi-team approach involving ENTs, Allergy Specialists and/or Specialist Orthodontists.

Practice, practice, practice!


5 minutes of practice, twice a day, every day for the duration of the programme
