The check up (60 minutes) is followed by a neuro-movement correction session, then nine 45 minute in-person meetings, once every week or two weeks. I plan what is to follow based on the results of the check up. The sessions always consist of practicing together and thorough training. This has to be followed by consistent at-home practice. To support the effective at-home training we provide numerous tools so that work can progress smoothly. 

The neuro-movement correction session is led by a physiotherapist colleague. The aim of this is for your muscles and physiological processes to function harmoniously once again. Through this we prepare the muscles of the tongue, the jaw, the neck and around the shoulders to be more receptive to change. To find out more about this method, read about our move package.

With our complex approach we deal with the whole body during the therapy. Since the tongue thrust swallowing itself is a multi-factor problem, we do not just locally target the mouth and the tongue either. We give attention to the upper back, the neck area, the jaw. Movements which help relax these areas, aid the development of proper posture and support concentration are also part of the programme.   

To support proper and stable nasal breathing we have integrated numerous exercises into the therapy. Our goal with these is to strengthen a deeper (diaphragm breathing), better functioning breathing pattern. 

As far as it is needed, we also deal with improving speech sounds and articulation also integrating this into the time at our disposal. 

In the last phase of development you can also learn the GOPex (Good Oral Posture) method which is meant to aid the automatisation of the already learnt proper functions with simple exercises that are easy to integrate into everyday life.
