Comprehensive Therapy Assessment
At My Myo My Health, our commitment to our patient’s well-being begins with a thorough and personalized Myofunctional Therapy Assessment. This assessment is a crucial first step in understanding unique needs and tailoring a treatment plan that empowers you or your child’s journey to optimal health.
Key Components of Our Myofunctional Therapy Assessment:
-Orofacial Examination-
- Our experienced therapists conduct a comprehensive orofacial examination to assess the structures and functions of your mouth, face, and neck. This includes an evaluation of muscle tone, posture, and any signs of dysfunction.
-Breathing Patterns Analysis-
- 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 Assessment-
- Evaluating the posture and function of the tongue is a key aspect of our assessment. 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 Evaluation-
- Our assessment includes a thorough examination of 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 Assessment-
- 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 Analysis-
- Our therapists analyze functional movements related to the orofacial region, considering factors such as jaw movement, lip closure, and facial expressions. This holistic approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of your myofunctional needs.
- We may also evaluate sensory needs and primitive reflex integration
Personalized Treatment Plan:
Following the assessment, we create a personalized treatment 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.
