Key Components of Your Myo Intake

At My Myo My Health, our commitment to our patients' well-being begins with a thorough and personalized Myofunctional Myo Intake. This is a crucial first step in understanding unique needs and tailoring a plan that empowers you or your child's journey to optimal health.

Orofacial Review

• Our experienced therapists take a comprehensive look at the structures and functions of your mouth, face, and neck. This includes a review of muscle tone, posture, and any signs of dysfunction.

Breathing Patterns

• We delve into your breathing patterns to identify any abnormalities or restrictions. Understanding how you breathe is fundamental to addressing sleep, energy levels, and overall respiratory health issues.

Tongue Posture and Function Review

• Reviewing the posture and function of the tongue is a key part of your Myo Intake. Proper tongue posture is essential for various functions, including breathing, posture, sleep quality, feeding, and speech. We identify any deviations that may impact your well-being.

Chewing and Swallowing Review

• Your Myo Intake includes a thorough look at your chewing and swallowing patterns. Identifying any challenges in these areas allows us to tailor interventions that enhance functional communication and swallowing efficiency.

Oral Habits Review

• We explore any oral habits that may contribute to myofunctional issues, such as thumb-sucking, nail-biting, tongue-thrusting, or improper chewing. Understanding these habits guides us in developing effective strategies for habit elimination and improvement.

Functional Movement Review

• Our therapists look at functional movements related to the orofacial region, taking into account factors such as jaw movement, lip closure, and facial expressions. This holistic approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of your myofunctional needs.
• We may also look at sensory needs and primitive reflex integration.

Personalized Plan:
Following your Myo Intake, we create a personalized plan tailored to address your specific concerns and goals. This plan may include exercises, therapies, collaboration with other providers, and lifestyle adjustments to optimize orofacial function.
