Hi there, I thought I would share my experience with sleep apnea and speech therapy.
I had a stroke about a year ago that caused me swallowing and sleeping issues. So my doctor referred me to a speech therapist to help with it. Well, ever since I started going my sleep apnea has improved! I brought it up to my doctor and she told me that a few studies found that the retraining of the face muscles and tongue positioning can help with sleep apnea!
I really recommend it to anyone if you have the time and money for it!
