The clinic provides targeted services for conditions such as tongue tie, tongue thrust, mouth breathing, sleep apnea, snoring, and TMJ pain. With a 5.00 rating, the practice focuses on addressing the underlying causes of oral motor dysfunction.

The therapy provided by Dave Henrichsen targets the oral motor muscles used for breathing, chewing, and swallowing. The approach utilizes exercises, awareness, and the reduction of muscle compensation to correct improper muscle movements and restore proper function. Services include breathing education and Buteyko breathing techniques to address issues like sleep disordered breathing and upper respiratory resistance syndrome. The practice also addresses habits such as thumb sucking, finger sucking, and nail biting. Supporting the practice is Michael Chop, who assists with administration and is training in the Oxygen Advantage method to assist clients with nasal breathing and athletic performance.

KenmoreMyo provides specialized care for patients seeking to correct dysfunctional swallow patterns and oral postures. The practice remains a dedicated resource for the Kenmore and surrounding Washington communities looking to improve oral health and breathing function.
