CPAP Machines and Myofunctional Therapy 

In this video, Sarah Hornsby and Melissa Mugno from Faceology will show you how myofunctional therapy can make a massive difference to patients who use a CPAP machine to address their sleep apnea or sleep-disordered breathing symptoms.
CPAP machines have many benefits, but using a CPAP can be difficult for some patients - there can be issues with comfort and air delivery that make it challenging for users to wear their CPAP consistently.
Even the ENTs we work with agree that myofunctional therapy can help teach patients to slow their breathing down, which can help make using a CPAP much easier.
Low tongue posture can make CPAP use more difficult, but myofunctional therapy exercises can also help with tongue posture. And once the tongue is in the correct position, successful CPAP use is much more likely.
Myofunctional therapy exercises are an excellent option for CPAP users because they are easy, non-invasive, and can cause no harm.
The first step is an evaluation to determine if there are any underlying orofacial myofunctional issues and, if so, to gauge how they might affect your CPAP use.
At Faceology, we offer modern myofunctional therapy that’s 100% online, so it’s convenient but incredibly effective.
