🌸Do you even know how your Tongue moves?
✅It glides effortlessly when we speak, swallow, eat, or even just breathe through nose.
But can be this affected or restricted ? YES!
⚠️RESTRICTED TONGUE? ‼️Small band of tissue under the tongue (lingual frenulum) is short, tight or thick causing restricted natural range of motion causing real stra on body over time.
How does it affect function:
✅FEEDING- Poor latch, Unsatisfied, No weight gain, Bloating due to air trap (Babies)
✅SPEECH - Unclear sound/ lisping
✅BREATH & SLEEP - Disturbed sleep, Chronic mouth breathing, Dry mouth - cavities/plaque
