HOW DO WE ACHIEVE CORRECTING THE RESTING POSITION OF THE TONGUE FROM INHIBITING ATYPICAL SWALLOWING?

CHEWING, SWALLOWING, SPEAKING, AND BREATHING ARE PRAXIS THAT INTERACT AND INFLUENCE EACH OTHER AT ALL TIMES. DYSFUNCTION IN ONE OF THEM IS ALL IT TAKES TO CREATE AN IMBALANCE AMONG ALL THE PRAXIS OF THE OROFACIAL SPHERE.

ON THE OTHER HAND, AUTOMATED REEDUCATION FOR SWALLOWING HARMONIZES THE ENTIRE OROFACIAL SPHERE THANKS TO A CHAIN REACTION THAT BEGINS WITH THE ELEVATION OF THE STYLOGLOSSUS.

• Wearing Froggymouth first forces secondary swallowing until it becomes automatic.
• Once the praxis becomes automatic, the tongue is raised against the palate every time you swallow.
• The notion of comfort determines the tongue’s position between each swallow.
• The tongue will adopt a raised position at rest in view of repeated elevation for swallowing.

“The notion of comfort is the priority of the new program: the most effective solution is chosen and then consolidated for further use.”
