This was a slide taken from Sanda's presentation during our last lecture with The Breathe Institute. I thought it was super interesting so I wanted to share it here. ... It takes a sec to figure out what's going on in the image, but the blue and green arrows are basically showing the muscles and where they are attached to the bony structures - the styloid process, hyoid bone, larynx, and sternum. ... When I look at this, it makes me understand the true impact that impaired tongue mobility can have on the function of the entire head and neck. ... When one muscle group is functioning incorrectly (the tongue) it has a big impact on the surrounding muscles. The extrinsic muscles of the tongue must over-compensate and over-work to basically make up for the lack of function in the tongue. ... No wonder when people are tongue tied or have low tongue tone/posture they often have facial pain, jaw pain, TMJ problems, forward head posture, neck and shoulder pain/tension, headaches, migraines, and many more symptoms. ... This is the stuff I can't wait to talk more about in the #MyoMasterminds course through The Breathe Institute!! ... #anatomy #anatomynerd #posture #tonguetie #mouthbreathing #functional #tmj #migraines #headaches #pain #myofunctionaltherapy #breathe #healthybreathing #forwardheadposture #dentist #hygienist #airway #myomentor #myo_masterminds #myomasterminds #sarahhornsby #sarahkhornsby #tbi #thebreatheinstitute #myofunctionaltherapist

Happy May 2020!

I'm sure a few of you remember the Mouth Breathing Awareness Month campaign that I ran last May to bring awareness to orofacial myofunctional disorders. It was super fun, and got tons of attention!
...
Well, it's May again and I considered not running the campaign because of the Covid-19 situation, but then I realized that nasal breathing is probably the number one thing you can do to protect yourself from viruses, so I had to keep it going!
...
This year I'm mixing it up a bit though - rather than posting facts, videos, and interviews across social media, this May I've recruited my #MyoMentor family to help.

MyoMentor students and graduates are some of the most passionate dental and healthcare professionals I know, and many of them have struggled with their own myofunctional symptoms - including mouth breathing. ...
So I'll be interviewing THEM to share their stories and highlight what they are doing in their practices and communities to help their patients.
...
Help spread the word! Tune into our Instagram Live events every evening this month to learn about #mouthbreathing and spread the word to your patients and communities.
...
I’ll be sharing clips from the interviews on Facebook and YouTube as well so check out the other platforms and keep sharing 💕

I’ve been lucky enough to spend some time “she

I’ve been lucky enough to spend some time “sheltering in place” with my family in Arizona, and it’s been amazing to see the desert change and bloom with color this spring. ...
I never would have thought the desert could be so full of life, have so many flowers, and look as green and colorful as it does now. ...
I feel like I’ve been hibernating for the past 4 weeks - I haven’t been active on social media, I’ve been spending lots of time with people I care about, and I’ve been working a lot less than usual. ...
It’s been a nice change of pace from my usual hectic life and it’s actually been really, really good ❤️
...
I think there are lessons to be learned from this coronavirus situation, and I’m trying to be open to what they might be, and how I can grow and learn from this.
...
One thing I know for sure is that I’m so thankful for the amazing friends and colleagues that are in my MyoMentor Program. We just finished our Week 12 lecture for my January class, and it was actually really sad to know that the course is coming to an end!! 😭😭😭
...
For so many of us in the dental field, this has been a stressful time full of uncertainty. Dentists have been forced to close their practices, so many hygienists and assistants are out of work and we’re all stuck at home like everyone else. ...
It’s been a comforting ritual for me to connect with everyone through our weekly MyoMentor calls - almost like a touchstone twice a week where we all get to check-in with each other like a family and feel like life is normal.
...
Anyway, I just wanted to share a little quote with some inspiration that I found about the way we see the world. ...
I hope it inspires you as well! Plus you can check out all of my amazing desert wildflower pictures ❤️😍
