Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is dysfunctional breathing during sleep. Sleep apnea means pauses in breathing for 10 seconds or longer, and also looks at oxygen level drops. Mild apnea is 5-15 apnea events in an hour. Moderate apnea is 15-30 apnea events in an hour. Severe apnea is 30 apnea events in an hour. 

 

 

There is research by The Breathe Institute that myofunctional therapy reduces sleep apnea by 50% ALONE.

How Myofunctional Therapy Can help treat your sleep apnea

Clinical research has been done by numerous third party medical providers that shows an improvement in Sleep Apnea symptoms for patients that enjoy the benefits of Myofunctional Therapy, with almost 50% efficacy rates! Okay, but like, 50% of what symptoms? GREAT QUESTION!! So how it works is that when tongue posture is up in the palate this pulls the tongue up out of throat and into the palate which helps keep the tongue from falling back and choking you in your sleep. This is why I love Myofunctional therapy, it uses your body’s natural movement to retrain your muscles! Wouldn’t it be great to get rid of that CPAP? And with reduced snoring from a cleared airway you and your partner will be sleeping better!
