Let’s be clear: you don’t have to burn your current therapy approach to the ground and start from scratch.
Adding myo doesn’t mean subtracting everything else.
It’s more like upgrading your GPS- you’ll still get your clients where they need to go, but with fewer detours and less frustration (for everyone involved).
Here’s how you can start, without flipping your whole world upside down:
Start with what you’re already seeing.
Tongue thrust? Messy eating? Chronic mouth breathing? The clients you already treat have these symptoms- now you’ll just have a new lens to assess them through.
Add one assessment tool at a time.
You don’t need every form and protocol printed and laminated tomorrow. Start with oral rest posture and lip seal. Build from there.
Sprinkle in education.
Start the convo with parents, caregivers, and even clients. A simple, “Hey, I’ve noticed something that could be impacting progress- mind if we explore it together?” goes a long way.
Use what’s in your toolbox- differently.
You don’t need brand-new materials. You just need a fresh strategy to support function first, then layer your goals on top.
Lean on a myo community (like ours!).
You weren’t meant to figure this out alone. Inside The Myo Membership®, we help you integrate, troubleshoot, and implement- without the overwhelm. Join us. We’ve saved a seat for you.
