Breastfeeding Therapy

Myofascial Release Therapy

Myofascial release therapy targets restrictions in muscle and connective tissue to promote functional movement and strength. It supports swallowing, speech, and feeding by improving muscular coordination.

    • Pre- and post-op support for lip and tongue tie release

    • Oral muscle training and range-of-motion exercises

    • Improved oral postures and feeding function

    This is a core component of pediatric feeding therapy techniques for long-term improvement.

Pediatric Feeding Assessment & Personalized Plans

We provide customized pediatric feeding assessments and therapy plans, based on a comprehensive evaluation and clinical expertise. Whether your child needs support with feeding tubes, oral motor delays, or aspiration prevention, we are here to help.

Infant Feeding

Bottle and Breastfeeding

  • Difficulty latching, milk transfer, bottle acceptance, poor weight gain and feeding efficiency

Transitioning Feeding Skills

  • Moving from breast/bottle to solids, cups and age-appropriate milestones for feeding

We also evaluate:

  • Oral motor and sensory function

  • Muscle tone, respiration, and phonation

  • Ribcage development and movement

  • Signs of lip/tongue tie, reflux, or allergies

  • Behavioral components affecting feeding
     

We assess swallowing safety to identify risks like aspiration, obstruction, or choking, which can cause coughing, congestion, or pneumonia. This forms the foundation for a personalized feeding therapy plan.
