MyoMinute with Chelcie: Why tongue tie releases don’t work

Mama, if your child had a tongue tie release and you're still dealing with the same feeding, speech, or breathing struggles — please hear this: you didn't do anything wrong. You just weren't given the whole picture.

Here's what most people don't realize: a release frees up the tongue's range of motion, but it doesn't teach the tongue how to actually use that new range. Months or years of compensating build habits that the muscles default right back to — release or not. That's exactly why two kids can go through the exact same procedure and end up with completely different results.

And this isn't just what I see in practice — the research backs it up too. Structural work paired with therapy consistently outperforms structural work alone.

So if your child's release didn't fully resolve things, you are not alone, and it is not too late to add the missing piece. If you want to understand what that missing piece looks like for your child, I put together a free training that walks you through it — you can watch it at breathingintolifeco.com/pl/2147652251.
