The roof of the mouth is innervated by several nerves, including the trigeminal nerve (CN V) and the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX), both of which are mixed nerves that carry both sensory and motor information.

The trigeminal nerve is responsible for sensation in the front part of the roof of the mouth, while the glossopharyngeal nerve supplies sensation to the back part of the roof of the mouth.

When the tongue is in the proper posture, pressing against the palate (roof of the mouth), it activates these parasympathetic cranial nerves, which can have a calming effect on the body.

The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for rest and digestion, and activation of these nerves can help reduce feelings of stress and anxiety.

In addition to activating the parasympathetic nerves, pressing the tongue to the roof of the mouth can also activate the muscles in the throat and neck.

These muscles help to keep the airway behind the mouth open, which can be helpful for people who snore or have mild sleep apnea.

Overall, pressing the tongue to the roof of the mouth can have several beneficial effects on the body, including promoting relaxation and improving breathing during sleep.

One way to exercise the habit of pressing the tongue to the roof of the mouth is through conscious awareness and practice:
1. Start by becoming aware of the position of your tongue throughout the day. Notice when it is resting at the bottom of your mouth versus when it is touching the roof of your mouth.
2. When you notice that your tongue is resting at the bottom of your mouth, gently press it against the roof of your mouth.
3. Practice holding your tongue in this position gradually increasing the amount of time you can hold it there comfortably.
4. Repeat this throughout the day, gradually making it a habit.

In addition to this, a Functional Activator is a great tool that can be used to improve tongue posture.

When a child cannot control their eyes, they cannot control their state.

Every emotional reaction is being shaped by how their brain is processing movement, space, and stability.

If the eyes are not moving smoothly, the brain reads the environment as unpredictable.

Unpredictable means unsafe.

Unsafe means reactive.

By changing the signal the brain is using to decide if it is safe.

Eye movements also affect cervical mechanoreceptors, which influence critical brain centers that regulate posture, cardiorespiratory function, autonomic response, parasympathetic activity, and digestion.

This is where everything starts.

What you’re seeing in that left image is what happens when the brain is running a flexor-dominant pattern.

The muscles that pull inward are chronically overactivated not because they’re too tight, but because the brain is sending that signal continuously, below conscious awareness.

The leg rotates internally. The knee tracks inward. The hip loses its neutral position.

The whole chain above it compensates.

No amount of stretching the inner thigh changes this. No amount of strengthening the outer hip changes this. Because the signal driving the pattern is still running.
When that signal is running continuously, the fascia throughout the entire front of the body shortens around it.

This is the part no one tells you: your posture is your brain’s best guess at stability based on the information it receives.

Change the information, and the posture changes with it.

The Fix My Posture Bundle corrects both ends of the chain simultaneously.

According to a 2009 study done by the American Podiatric Medical Association, the average person walks 8,000 to 10,000 steps in one day.

Proper weight-bearing surfaces not only give your body optimal postural alignment, but they also prevent you from wasting energy standing upright.

When you move with a misaligned body, your neurons are constantly primed and working overtime.

After 365 days, this irregular muscle tension becomes fixated, and your brain can no longer reverse the process.

Your feet become “stuck” in that faulty foot posture and your body starts to break down.

𝗜𝗻𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀:
-> inward rotation of the tibia
-> inward rotation of the femur
-> lower pelvis

𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀:
-> outwards rotation of the tibia
-> outwards rotation of the femur
-> higher pelvis

This leads to mechnical imbalances that affect everything above your ankle joint.

So how can you fix this?

Improving foot proprioception is the first step to addressing a foot imbalance. Since the motor cortex is what ultimately controls your muscles, working with a product that feeds it 24/7 results in FAST and permanent changes in poor foot and body posture. That’s why I created Therapeutic Insoles to help you improving posture and rebuild stability from the ground.

The moment a tooth is pulled, something shifts in your jaw.

Not always immediately. Sometimes over months. Sometimes years.

But the jaw is one of the few structures in the body that the brain uses to calibrate where your head sits in space.

When the bite changes, even slightly, the muscles on one side have to work harder to compensate.
That compensation travels up.

The head shifts forward. The neck locks to stabilize it. The shoulders round to support the neck.

None of this is conscious. None of it hurts yet.

This is why so many people with chronic neck tension, jaw clenching, or forward head posture trace it back to dental work they had done years before and never connected the two.

The body doesn't announce the chain reaction. It just starts compensating.

Your dentist says you need your wisdom teeth removed. “They’re impacted.”
 
They’ll cause problems.
 
Let’s schedule surgery.
 
But here’s what they’re not telling you: Your wisdom teeth didn’t randomly grow sideways.
 
They grew that way because your tongue has been sitting in the wrong position since you were a child.
 
When your tongue rests on the bottom of your mouth instead of the roof, your jaw doesn’t develop properly.
 
The problem is the tongue position that’s been shaping your jaw for the last 20+ years.
 
The solution?
 
It isn’t just one thing.
 
Poor tongue posture shifts your head position and throws off the body’s entire line of gravity.
 
That misalignment travels down to your feet and changes how the body loads.
 
Eye imbalances can add another layer. You can’t just push the jaw forward or widen the palate without fixing the posture system feeding into it.
 
The nervous system won’t hold the change unless the inputs from feet, eyes, and jaw are recalibrated together.
 
The Fix My Posture Bundle does exactly that.
 
It recalibrates posture top down and bottom up so the changes made at the jaw level actually stick.
 
That said, you’ll still need a dentist who understands this full chain approach.
 
But even the best dentists are limited by the dental board and often can’t go beyond their scope.
 
This is why we work with dentists trained in our method.

Most people blame the bag. The posture chair. The desk setup.

None of those are the starting point.

Rounded shoulders begin at the bottom of the body, not the top. When the arch of the foot collapses, the leg bones rotate inward. That rotation travels up through the knee, the hip, and into the spine. The spine curves to compensate.

The shoulders roll forward to follow. By the time it's visible in the mirror, the chain has already been running for years from the ground up.

Every symptom shown here, the neck pain, the compressed breathing, the weak lower back, the digestive pressure, is downstream of a pattern that started before anyone noticed anything was wrong.

Stretching the chest won't stop it. Strengthening the back won't stop it. Because neither addresses what's generating the pattern in the first place.

When you lose a tooth on one side, the teeth above and below that gap start to move.

The ones across from it push down.

The ones beside it tilt in.

The bite shifts.

That's the mechanical part. Most people know that much.

What most people don't know is what happens next.

Every time you swallow (roughly 2,000 times a day) your tongue moves toward that gap. It can't help it.

The space is there and the tongue fills it.

That single asymmetric motion puts a rotational force on the hyoid bone, which sits at the front of your throat and anchors an entire chain of muscles running down the front of your body.

One side of that chain starts pulling harder than the other.

The shoulder on that side drops or rotates.

The muscle connecting your shoulder blade to your throat goes into a low-grade spasm that never fully releases.

Your neck tilts. Your pelvis compensates. Your feet redistribute weight to match the new center of gravity.

None of this is a decision your body makes consciously. It's structural adaptation, running automatically, 24 hours a day.

By the time someone notices the chronic neck tension or the one-sided headaches or the shoulder that always seems higher in photos, the entire postural chain has already reorganized around that original gap.

The Fix: You can't fix a one-sided click by stretching your neck or grinding a mouthguard.

One shoulder sitting lower than the other is not a strength problem, and it is not something you can fix by stretching or training harder.

It is your body responding to brain inputs.

Most people are told their muscle imbalance comes from tight muscles or weakness, but that is only the surface.

The real issue starts with how your brain is receiving input from your feet, your eyes, and your jaw.

When those systems are not aligned, your brain loses a clear sense of where your body is in space.

It starts making compensations to keep you upright, and one of the most common results is uneven shoulders.

If you have been stuck trying to fix your shoulders with no lasting results, this will change how you look at posture completely.

According to a recent study, forward head position and blood flow to the brain are clinically observable by taking the carotid pulses and can lead to debilitating symptoms within the brain.

The carotid pulses are weaker when the head is in a forward position; however, the carotid pulses are stronger when the head is over the spine.

When the head is forward over the spine, the brain may not receive sufficient blood flow and oxygen due to compression of the carotid arteries.

If this compression is severe enough, it can result in cerebral ischemia (CNS dysfunction).

Clinically, we see disturbed sleeping patterns, increased anxiety, and mental N sluggishness.

The March 2000 Mayo Clinic reported that prolonged FHP also leads to myospasm, disc herniations, arthritis, and pinched nerves.

Dr. Alf Breig, a Swedish neurosurgeon and Nobel Prize recipient, describes how the loss of a normal cervical lordotic curve creates dysfunction and disease.

Through cadaver studies, Dr. Breig demonstrated that neck flexion could stretch the spinal cord 5-7 cm causing tensioning of the meninges (covering of the brain and spinal cord) and elicit measurable pressure on brainstem nuclei (nerve control centers) which control all basic life functions. (Breig, Alf.)

Adverse Mechanical Tension in the Central Nervous System: An Analysis of Cause and Effect. 1978. Almqvuist & Wiksell International, Stockholm, Sweden. Pg. 177.)

How do you fix it?

You can’t consciously hold your head back all day that’s fighting your own brain.

Fix the sensory input from your feet and restore correct tongue posture. They work together to stabilize your head. Once both are aligned, forward head posture corrects itself naturally.

Scientists discovered that when your head shifts 2 inches forward, your carotid arteries compress by 20%
