Testimonial

“From my son, “5 stars”. And my husband and I agree. 
We started this myo therapy journey 12/2021 with inquisitive expectations. Speach therapy was helping, Ortho expansion was helping but he was still struggling with tongue movement/placement and sounds. Xuan-Thu’s sweet understanding of kids silliness helped with all the exercises. The exercises and evaluations lead to a better understanding for my son and us as parents to see what was holding back his progress. The collaboration of Dental, Ortho and Myo Therapy has my son sounding and functioning properly. It has even improved his posture. We are so grateful and his future is only improved from this therapy. ”  ~ mom
