At Brooklyn Myo, we know how difficult it is when you or your child has trouble with feeding, speech, or sleep disorder breathing—or when their face and mouth muscles simply aren’t working the way they should.

In our holistic practice, we identify, address, and treat the underlying factors that impact nasal breathing, feeding, swallowing, and orofacial function.  

Our extensive experience has taught us that family involvement coupled with a multidisciplinary approach yields the best outcomes. That’s why we collaborate with a large network of experts and healthcare professionals—including ENTs, oral surgeons, airway-centric dentists, occupational therapists, and craniosacral therapists—to maximize therapeutic outcomes.

You deserve to see tangible results from treatment.

Learn lifelong habits and skills that will help you–or your child–achieve optimal health.

Our ultimate goal is to help every patient see tangible results from treatment and integrate lifelong habits and skills into their lives so that they can achieve optimal health.

Start therapy. See lasting results.
