Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy
Supporting breathing, sleep, feeding, regulation and development through a holistic Occupational Therapy lens.
What is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy?
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy focuses on how the muscles of the face, mouth and airway work together.
We support children to develop more effective breathing patterns, oral function, feeding skills and regulation by improving the coordination of the tongue, lips, jaw and airway.
This therapy can support sleep, feeding development, oral habits and overall functional development.
Specialised Areas of Support
We support children across a range of key developmental areas that influence how they function, participate and engage in everyday life. Each area is addressed through structured, goal-based therapy tailored to the child’s individual needs, strengths and challenges.
Supporting more consistent breathing patterns and improved
sleep quality.
Improving chewing, swallowing and mealtime participation.
Encouraging nasal breathing and improved airway function.
Supporting improved calm state and self-regulation through functional oral patterns.
Improving daily engagement, attention and overall functional performance.
