VLOG: My Lip and Tongue Tie Release!

[@ElleBelleGT]

Thank you for sharing your experience! I also have a tongue tie and a tongue thrust. I’ve been on my own journey and I relate to a lot of your symptoms. You made me excited about getting a frenectomy. I hope my results are as good as yours!

Any benefit for you? It did nothing for my neck, jaw, headaches

[@colleenzuntag3845]

I appreciate you sharing this healing journey. It looks like your face shape has changed. Is this from the therapy? How does one find a therapist who does this work you are doing?

Myo therapy before and after the release has given me more headaches- my jaw is not happy with opening so wide to stretch the tongue! Your tongue is so long before! I know some cant even see their ties though.

Yes, there is definitely an adjustment period for the myo exercises! I had increased neck tension and headaches before the release when doing myo- my therapist had told me this would be the case so I wasn't alarmed!

@@mb.fitness good to know! I had my release 2 weeks ago…. Still jaw and back of skull tension from my jaw and tension headaches in my temporalis. So far, not helping those. Did it help you right away? Im hoping its because im still doing tongue stretches but maybe the tongue just wont help my jaw. It is helping my posture though! Which in time i hope also helps the jaw. I was hoping id be one of those “ahh release and no more headaches or tension!” Haha

@@user-zk8ck3my3l have you seen any improvement since your last comment? Today my dentist told me I have tongue tie so I've been going down the rabbit hole haha

@@sprinklets its nice to have a longer tongue i guess but no, honestly, i went to a great myo did it at home for months prior, daily, great release and dentist, have much more tongue ROM but i was hoping it would help tmj and neck issues/headache. The myo therapy flared my jaw from the wide opening and stretches but that finally settled. Mine was cheap also so id probably do it again just for the rom but i dont see any difference in my jaw or neck symptoms. I probably have a bit more that could be trimmed again but wont, i have way more rom. The sutured area didnt grow back but where it was left open to heal did, since i couldnt stretch until the sutures fell out. Its questionable if that bit that came back even makes a difference really, i wont do it again as it would probably be a repeat and again, no noticeable change besides rom. I honestly think a lot of it is placebo when people feel AMAZING 5 minutes after, it doesnt work like that, dysfunction patterns dont just spring to normal. It is weird to be able to lift your tongue so much RIGHT after. If it was cheap, id say go for it, some swear by it, some say it did nothing. I feel why not try if cheap. (Mine was cheap because insurance covered a lot of the cut, myo was out of pocket)

Watching you do those exercises makes me realize my tongue tie is way worse than yours.... gonna have to pick your brain.

Same! I could never do what she’s doing in the first five minutes. Can’t wait to get a release.
