MyoMotions Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy
Behind Every Breath, There’s a Story — Read Theirs
-⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This review comes approximately one year after I started working with Jenny Kraft on my orofacial myofunctional therapy journey. This experience has made a tremendous difference in how I feel, serving as another step towards being pain-free. Had I not taken this step, I probably would not have discovered the final element necessary for my journey to relieve pain. I apologize for the length of this review; however, I wanted to provide a comprehensive overview of my progress. In addition to having a tongue tie and a very small mouth, I have experienced neck and back pain intermittently for over 30 years. Multiple doctors have diagnosed me with various issues but have repeatedly stated that they are not severe enough to cause the pain I am experiencing. The situation is further complicated by the inconsistency of my pain, which shifts from one area of my neck and back to another, sometimes causing referred pain—where a problem in one area manifests discomfort elsewhere along the nerve. At the time I began my orofacial myofunctional therapy, I was also attending physical therapy again for my neck and back issues. I found that while physical therapy did not address all of my concerns, the myofascial therapy helped release much of the tension and tightness in my neck and shoulders. When I mentioned this to my therapist, she seemed skeptical, but I persisted with the myofascial exercises and continued to make progress. I also maintained the exercises recommended by previous physical therapists. Although I experienced considerable relief, the pain occasionally returned, albeit to a lesser degree. Jenny educated me about fascia and its role in my discomfort. After researching the significance of fascia and its ubiquitous presence in the human body, I decided to try myofascial release techniques for my back and neck. I purchased 'The Melt Method' by Sue Hitzmann and used a tennis ball and foam roller to explore its effects. I was astonished to discover that using the ball on my feet led to a release in my neck, back, and even my head! Tight fascia is often dehydrated, and trigger points indicate this dehydration. To restore its suppleness and return to a natural, pain-free state, fascia requires gentle movement, massage, and ample hydration. Maintaining this state is crucial for keeping fascia relaxed and free from pain. This book significantly aided me in restoring my fascia throughout my body. However, without my sessions with Jenny, I might never have realized the importance of fascia or its role in my body. It’s worth noting that while this book covers major body areas, it does not address orofacial myofunctional therapy specifically. If you require oral health therapy, I highly recommend working with Jenny Kraft. She is patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. I experienced improvements almost immediately; I simply needed to take my healing a step further to achieve comprehensive improvement throughout my body. Now, approximately a year after starting my work with Jenny, I continue to practice these exercises several times a week to maintain the progress I've made. My frenum has stretched, my jaw has expanded thanks to Invisalign, allowing it to gradually adjust, and my tongue now has more room to function properly. I am also more comfortable, both in my mouth and overall. I wish I had the opportunity to make these changes fifty years earlier. -Karen G.

When you are led down a path you didn't know existed and find what you were missing and needing in your life, it feels transformative. That's how it felt embarking on my Myofunctional therapy journey with Jenny. Our sessions focused on improving my oral health therapy, and even though they have ended, I will carry these beneficial exercises with me forever. It has significantly reduced my pain levels and provided me with newfound freedom in my face, jaw, and mouth that I didn't know was possible. Just to relieve tension and bring awareness to this often neglected area, along with addressing my breathing issues and enhancing my swallowing therapy, was well worth the sessions. - Lilymazu

Jenny Kraft was the Myofunctional therapist for my son and daughter. For our son, she prepared him before getting his expander and assisted him throughout his expander process with his class three bite, which was crucial in addressing his breathing issues. For our daughter, Jenny focused on strengthening her tongue in preparation for her lip ties and tongue tie release, providing effective oral health therapy. Jenny's knowledge, kindness, and genuine concern in helping the kids were invaluable, making her a blessing to our family. Although it required consistency, Jenny always made it enjoyable, and the kids looked forward to their swallowing therapy sessions with her. She also noticed that our daughter was leaning to one side, compensating for a potential issue, and observed that one shoulder was higher than the other. At seven years old, Jenny's early intervention helped us determine the next steps. We are now getting X-rays with a chiropractor to investigate if Scoliosis is the reason for the compensation. Not only did she help the kids strengthen their tongues, but she may have also identified another concern for early intervention! Thank you, Jenny, for your love, patience, and guidance throughout this process. Our son's expander is coming off this month, and thanks to his jaw expansion and stronger tongue, he is no longer a mouth breather and now sleeps soundly!

Jenny and myofunctional therapy helped me get my life back.
Before I completed myofunctional therapy with Jenny I was unhappy with my general health. I always felt tired after a full night of sleep and never felt like I was getting enough oxygen. I took test for sleep apnea, asthma, and general allergies and everything came back negative. I consulted an ear nose and throat specialist and they didn't have any solutions either. I was frustrated that the source of my issues wasn't appearing. When I met Jenny she was very nice and confident that she could help me. During my first session with her she identified my issues from a physical exam and showed them to me via photos of my front and side profile. She explained that my tongue had atrophied and was the major source of my problems. It was blocking my airway, pushing my teeth out of alignment and straining the muscles and tissues in my face and neck. Jenny taught me that all of these muscles need to work together for the body to properly function. The first change we made was to focus on keeping my tongue on the roof of the mouth and to breathe through my nose. Doing this simple change immediately improved my sleep and breathing. Getting real results already from the first session was so amazing and cemented my faith in Jenny and the therapy. We continued the program with different exercises that toned and strengthened my tongue and mouth. I saw and felt my body improve along with my sleep and breathing. She took new pictures of me and I saw that my face and posture had improved significantly from before. The inflammation and atrophy had faded thanks to the exercises. Jenny's knowledge and expertise was what I needed to train my body into shape and receive proper sleep and breathing. I would recommend her to anybody who suffers from these problems, there are only good results and a better life waiting with that she has to offer. -Charlie
