The benefits of pet assisted therapy are well documented. The special bond between kids and pets often acts as a catalyst, keeping them engaged and actively participating during therapy sessions. Children feel safe, relaxed, and confident when interacting with pets, and often express themselves better than with other children or adults.
We provide comprehensive Orofacial Myofunctional therapy programs for the treatment of Myofunctional Disorders in children and adults. All programs are created by a Certified Orofacial Myologist COM®. At Hoboken Myo we continually see that improving function in the muscles of the face and mouth can have a positive impact on whole body wellness.
Therapy targets include:
• Breathing reeducation
• Promoting ideal resting oral posture
