👅 Signs of Tongue Weakness

The tongue is one of the most important muscles for breathing, feeding, swallowing, and sleep — but when it’s weak or lacks endurance, the body starts to compensate.

And those compensations can show up in ways you might not immediately connect to the tongue.

Here are some common signs we look for:

⚠️ Mouth breathing
⚠️ Low tongue posture (resting on the floor of the mouth)
⚠️ Messy or inefficient chewing
⚠️ Swallowing with lip or chin tension
⚠️ Food pocketing
⚠️ Speech sound difficulties
⚠️ Fatigue while eating or feeding
⚠️ Poor sleep or snoring

For little ones, this might look like long feeds, clicking while nursing, or trouble coordinating sucking and swallowing.

For older kids and adults, it may show up as tension, clenching, or airway and sleep concerns.

The good news?
Just like any muscle, the tongue can be strengthened and retrained with targeted myofunctional coaching.

Stronger tongue → better breathing → better function → better rest. 💛

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it may be worth taking a closer look at oral function.

⭐️ Client results speak louder than anything we could say. We’re honored to support families on their journey and grateful for the trust they place in us. Here’s a recent review we’re proud to share:

“Couldn’t recommend BreatheWell enough! My son saw Chelsea when he was just 28 months old. He had developed a cross bite after his teeth erupted in an unusual pattern between 12-18 months of age. Chelsea’s step wise approach and guidance helped us resolve his functional shift and cross bite after he turned 3 (36 months). His smile looks so much better! I am seeing the center of his upper and lower teeth get closer as he grows!” - Alexander

👅✨ Why Tongue Mobility Matters ✨👅

The tongue is one of the most important (and most overlooked) muscles in the body.

For proper function, it’s not just about strength — it’s about mobility.

Your tongue should be able to lift, extend, spread, and rest comfortably on the palate. When movement is restricted or compensations develop, it can impact so much more than you’d think…

🚼 feeding & breastfeeding
🗣 speech clarity
👃 nasal breathing
🥤 swallowing patterns
😴 sleep quality
😁 jaw & facial development

When the tongue can’t move well, the body adapts — often with mouth breathing, low tongue posture, or muscle tension.

In myofunctional coaching, we focus on improving range of motion, coordination, and proper resting posture so the tongue can do its job efficiently and naturally.

Because better mobility = better function. Always.

If you or your little one struggle with feeding, breathing, or oral habits, it might be time to look at tongue function more closely. 💛

👅✨ Tongue Exercises That Strengthen Function ✨👅

The tongue is more than just for talking and eating — it plays a HUGE role in breathing, swallowing, feeding, sleep, and overall oral development.

When the tongue is weak or lacks coordination, we may see:
• mouth breathing
• messy or inefficient swallowing
• feeding challenges
• speech concerns
• low tongue posture
• poor sleep quality

Just like any muscle in the body, the tongue needs strength, endurance, and proper movement patterns.

Targeted myofunctional exercises help:
💪 build strength
📍 improve tongue-to-palate posture
👃 support nasal breathing
🍼 improve feeding skills
😴 promote better rest

It’s not about random “tongue tricks” — it’s about intentional, functional movements that retrain the muscles for everyday life.

Small exercises → big functional changes.

If you’ve noticed challenges with breathing, feeding, or oral habits, myofunctional therapy can help address the root cause. 💛

The Role of the Diaphragm in Healthy Breathing

The diaphragm plays a key role in healthy breathing and proper oral function. As the primary breathing muscle, it works closely with the tongue, jaw, and airway to support efficient breathing patterns.

When the diaphragm moves well, it encourages nasal breathing, proper tongue posture, and balanced oral muscles.

When it doesn’t, we often see mouth breathing, poor posture, and compensations in the jaw and tongue.

In myofunctional therapy, supporting diaphragmatic breathing is foundational to long-term airway and oral health.

💡 What Makes Orofacial Myology Unique?

Orofacial myology focuses on how the muscles of the face, tongue, lips, and jaw work together for healthy breathing, swallowing, speech, and posture.

What makes it truly unique is its whole-body approach — we don’t just look at symptoms; we look at function.

✨ Here’s what sets it apart:
👅 It addresses the root cause of issues like mouth breathing, tongue thrust, or swallowing difficulties.
💪 It uses targeted exercises to retrain muscles for lasting results.
💨 It supports airway health, facial growth, and proper oral rest posture.
🤝 It often works hand-in-hand with other professionals—like dentists, orthodontists, speech therapists, and airway specialists—for comprehensive care.

Instead of temporary fixes, orofacial myology helps build new, healthy muscle patterns that support long-term wellness from the inside out.

💙 At The BreatheWell Group, our goal is to help every client restore function, balance, and ease—one breath, one swallow, one smile at a time.

⏱️ How Long Does Myofunctional Therapy Take?

This is one of the most common questions we get — and the honest answer is: it depends!

Myofunctional therapy is personalized care designed to retrain the muscles of the mouth, tongue, face, and airway to work together in harmony. Because everyone’s starting point and goals are different, the length of therapy can vary.

✨ Here’s what influences your timeline:
• Age & muscle awareness: Younger clients often adapt quickly, while adults may need a bit more time to change long-standing patterns.
• Severity of dysfunction: More significant tongue-ties, airway concerns, or swallowing issues may require longer treatment.
• Consistency: Just like physical therapy, the more regularly you practice your exercises, the faster your progress.
• Collaborative care: Working alongside dental, airway, or speech professionals can enhance and streamline results.

💬 On average:
Most myofunctional therapy programs last 6–12 months, with exercises practiced daily at home and check-ins every few weeks. Some clients may see major improvements in just a few months, while others benefit from ongoing support to maintain their progress.

💪 Think of it like training at the gym—
You’re strengthening new muscle habits that support better breathing, swallowing, speech, and posture. With time and consistency, these improvements become second nature.

✨ Our goal at The BreatheWell Group is to guide you through each step, helping you achieve lasting balance, comfort, and function—for life.
