I have zero control with my tongue edge movements, I can only control the tip of my tongue going up or moving my whole tongue left or right. Can you list all the exercrises I need to do to fix my tongue movements? I have alot of tension in my head for multiple health reasons and I never got to develop my tongue muscles. I heard restoring muscles in tongue is one that can reduce my other head problems. Is it a good idea to try and lightly force my fingers to curve around the chopstick with tongue? I can force my tongue in U shape with my fingers, but I can't even get close to do a tongue suction. should i see a specialize for these problems?

I am a university student living in Korea studying language therapy. I'm studying after watching your video. I want to tell you that it has a really good influence, so I'll translate it like this and leave comments!

Is everyone able to drop the center of their tongue with these exercises or only those with certain genetics to do so?

Hi! Perhaps you can help me. I had a tongue tie, and had 3 surgeries on it. The first one was just basically cutting it and sowing it up, without any exercises. Which wasn’t very successful. Second one was with a laser, this time with massaging the wound. Not sure how much it helped. The third time a dentist actually went into the tongue muscle, because the tongue tie was very big. It has given me some relief, however, I have no “tongue tip” and trying to roll my r’s has been difficult. It seems that the middle part of the tongue, or the front, I really don’t know, isn’t very well developed. I cannot point my tongue or move it up and down, then the whole tongue moves. My kids seem to have this same kind of tongue as well, even with a tongue tie release. I have never met anyone who has a tongue like this or a therapist who knows what this means. I have been told many times to just train the tongue, but so far, haven’t had any luck and no ones seems to understand. I would love your opinion!
