Myofunctional Therapy Near Me: Have you Googled it?
Hello! It's great to see you here. I would imagine that you've stumbled upon this blog and asked yourself, "What in the world is Myofunctional Therapy?!" Well, I'm so glad you asked!
Before we dive in, let me introduce myself. My name is Becca Rose and I am the founder of Myofunctional Pathways, LLC in Sheboygan.The greatest thing about what I do is having the ability to see clients ALL over the world! With virtual technology, there are literally no limits when you search fo "myofunctional therapy near me." Location is no longer a barrier to the Myofunctional Therapy that people are seeking.
I have been in the dental office world, in some capacity, since 2004. Some of my previous roles included working as a Dental Assistant, Dental Claims Processor, Oral Surgery Assistant and Registered Dental Hygienist. Although I do not work clinically as a Dental Hygienist any longer, I maintain my license and strive to keep up to with modern advances within the dental field and the myofunctional therapy field.
When I first heard about Myofunctional Therapy, my jaw dropped (literally and figuratively). I finally made the connection about symptoms I had and how they connected to the mouth, tongue, nose. To say I was excited was an understatement! There was finally an answer to help explain things that nothing else ever helped with.
If you knew me as a kid, you knew me as the girl who was constantly sneezing, blowing her nose and sniffing like crazy. I have horrible seasonal allergies. Skin allergy test reveal that I
am literally allergic to 48 of the 50 substances they tested me for. Cats, dust, all pollen, grass, trees, molds, you name it! I was miserable most of the time and when I was a kid in the 80's and 90's, it wasn't common to take allergy medication the way we do now.
As bad as the allergies were, the insomnia was even worse. Starting around 6th grade, it became very difficult to fall asleep. I mean, I would toss and turn for HOURS, sometimes wouldn't fall asleep until 2 or 3 am, then had to wake up early for school. It was impossible for me to turn off my thoughts.This is what kept me up. In addition to that, it was hard for me to get comfortable in bed and it was common to toss and turn all night trying to find a comfortable position. This pattern on sleeplessness lasted most of my life.
As I grew older, the sleep issues intensified and I began to snore. My husband urged me multiple times to see the doctor because he felt like I was having difficulty breathing at night. At age 28, I had 2 hospital sleep studies and was diagnosed with sleep apnea. LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN...age 28! Once I learned about Myofunctional Therapy, my life completely changed! If you'd peek into my life now, you'd find someone who is able to control her allergies and someone who gets quality, deep and restorative sleep EVERY.SINGLE.NIGHT. I even have a tracking ring to prove it!
Myofunctional Therapy Changed My Life:
Let's Summarize My MYO life:
I have been a chronic allergy sufferer: Myofunctional Therapy changed my life
Before learning about Myofunctional Therapy, I had sinus surgery and reduction of nasal turbinates
Sleep disturbances since childhood
Tonsils were removed as an adult (this was horrific, by the way!)
Diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and prescribed a CPAP machine
Poor Breathing due to allergies and allergy induced asthma
Myofunctional Therapy opened my world to a feeling of health and well-being I never experienced! I have a particular interest in helping those who snore, can't sleep and have sleep apnea with a CPAP machine.
Additionally, I have a young child who is a mouth breather, had a very high and narrow palate and will be starting expansion and in the future, will have a tongue tie release. These are many of the reasons parents seek Myofunctional Therapy for their child(ren). Long story short - I completely understand and empathize with your symptoms and how it impacts the quality of your life. It is always helpful to you when the person you choose to work with can relate to what you are experiencing!
