Myofunctional Therapy, Airway Health, and Self-Advocacy with Kaitlyn ShrumHolly Joy McCabe interviews Kaitlyn Shrum, a speech-language pathologist and myofunctional therapist specializing in airway health, to explain myofunctional therapy as “physical therapy” for the tongue, lips, face, and neck to build correct resting posture (tongue suctioned to the palate, lips closed, teeth gently apart, nasal breathing) and improve swallowing, speech sounds, TMJ issues, nervous system regulation, and sleep-disordered breathing.

They discuss how dysfunctional breathing and poor tongue posture can contribute to fight-or-flight patterns, and how therapy can support sleep by strengthening oral and pharyngeal structures. Kaitlyn shares her own upper airway resistance syndrome experience and the role of dentistry and orthodontic history, while both discuss women being dismissed in healthcare and the need to advocate, seek open-minded practitioners, and take a multidimensional, connected approach to health.
