Where is your Tongue?

Did you know that besides for eating and speaking your tongue should always be lightly suctioned to the roof of your mouth?

So why is tongue posture important?

👉Optimal Orofacial Growth and Improved Breathing : A tongue resting on the palate promotes a nice wide palate, ensuring enough space for straight teeth, good facial growth and a healthy airway, leading to improved sleep quality and overall health.

👉Enhanced Speech and Swallowing: Correct tongue posture is essential for clear speech and efficient chewing and swallowing.

👉Relaxation and Digestion: Tongue position can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and aiding digestion.

It can also help to improve sensory processing and reduce anxiety.

👉Better Posture and Mobility: Fascial connections link your tongue to your entire body, so good tongue posture provides stability and support to positively impact your overall posture and mobility.

As always, feel free to reach out for support!
