I never paid any attention to where my tongue was "hanging out" in my mouth. The more I learned about OMT, the more I realized my tongue was always resting low in my mouth, directly behind my bottom front teeth. I had no idea it was supposed to be on the roof of my mouth much less how to get it to stay there! After a few weeks of faithfully doing myo exercises, my tongue is on "The Spot" more and more and I am sleeping better already!

Welcome to MyoManhattan! I stumbled across the field of OMT while working with kids at my current job. I noticed a lot of the kids who struggled with grinding, sleep, breathing, and behavioral problems also presented with similar dental characteristics. I completed a mentorship Dec 2021 and learned how to connect the dots and start helping people of all ages relearn how to properly control their tongue and facial muscles. Think of it as physical therapy for your mouth! Sessions can be in person or entirely through telehealth.
