Three fields, one approach
The tongue is much more than the organ of taste and speech. It is a muscle that, every day and night, participates in how we breathe, swallow and rest.
When working correctly, it maintains airway patency and guides orofacial development. When impaired, it leads to breathing, swallowing, and sleep difficulties. Understanding it is our starting point.
Tongue Function
Posture, mobility, and strength of the tongue at rest and in use. Assessment of restrictive lingual frenulum (ankyloglossia) and orofacial growth guidance.
Ankyloglossia Evaluation · Lingual Motor Re-education
Airway
Endoscopic assessment of nasal and upper airway resistance to restore physiological nasal breathing in children and adults.
Nasal Airway Resistance · Pharyngeal Endoscopy (DISE)
Sleep
Diagnosis and management of sleep-disordered breathing (habitual snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea) linked to tongue muscle tone.
