Myofunctional Therapy for Children in Robina, Gold Coast
Myofunctional therapy uses gentle, targeted exercises to retrain how the tongue, lips, cheeks and jaw work together. It looks at resting mouth posture, breathing, chewing and swallowing, and how these fit with speech and development.
What families often notice
- Mouth breathing or an open-mouth resting posture
- Snoring or noisy breathing at night

What's involved
