Snoring, Sleep Apnea & Myofunctional Therapy in Fayetteville, AR
What Causes Snoring and Sleep Apnea?
Snoring and sleep apnea are signs that the airway may not be functioning properly during sleep. When the muscles of the tongue, mouth, and throat relax, the airway can become partially blocked, causing soft tissues to vibrate (snoring) or breathing to pause or become interrupted (sleep apnea).
At MYO2 Myofunctional Therapy Group in Fayetteville, Arkansas, we work with children and adults throughout Northwest Arkansas to support healthy oral function and breathing patterns.
How Can Myofunctional Therapy Help with Snoring and Sleep Apnea?
Snoring and sleep apnea can be associated with the muscles of the tongue, mouth, and throat not functioning properly during sleep. Myofunctional therapy focuses on improving oral muscle tone, tongue posture, and breathing patterns to support better airway function, helping you breathe more efficiently and sleep more comfortably.
Snoring and sleep-related breathing concerns can also be associated with mouth breathing and upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS).
