Myofunctional Therapy with Optimized Airways

What is Myofunctional Therapy?

Myofunctional therapy is similar to physical therapy, for your face. It focuses on helping you to restore proper breathing and oral function through simple exercises focused on the muscles of the mouth, face, head, and neck.

Myo if effective at all ages! Kids and adults alike thrive when they can breathe through their nose like they were made to do.

Myo helps to restore function which can in turn help you or your love one sleep better, breathe easier, reduce tension/pain and have more energy.

The goal of myofunctional therapy is to optimize the airways!

OPTIMIZED AIRWAYS HAS PERSONAL BEGINNINGs

A quick snapshot into where we came from

Founded in Overland Park, KS. Optimized Airways is located in a Kansas suburb of Kansas City, MO and also has satellite location in Wilsonville, OR, a suburb of Portland, OR.

No matter what you are looking for myofunctional therapy for, Optimized Airways is here to support you with exercises to help build strength and correct your myofunctional habits in both children and adults alike.

As a mom, and a healthcare professional, I was struggling to get answers to issues surrounding sleep and oral habits with my kids and frustrated with answers from traditional healthcare/educators. When I learned how important the power of nasal breathing can be not just for their sleep but for their growth and development I knew I needed to help share this knowledge with other parents and adults alike.

Who knew that helping my kids breathe and sleep better could turn into a company with a mission to help others achieve the same goals! In 2023, I opened Optimized Airways to be just that, a place for people to learn how powerful correct function can be. Form follows function, and so my job is to teach simple functional changes that can change the way you live for the better!

Myofunctional therapy has been show to help you live more fully. Whether you want to stop your snoring habit, stop mouth breathing, get you breathing well through your nose, get help with jaw pain and TMJ issues or are looking for support in conjunction with pre/post tongue tie therapy Myofunctional therapy can help! In kids, myofunctional therapy can help your child get better sleep by helping correct breathing patters to reduce snoring, bed wetting, ADHD symptoms and night time grinding. When your child sleeps better they feel better, and you will too!
