Untethered Airway + Empower Movement PT: The Next Step in Your Healing
If you’ve taken the step to work with Untethered Airway Health Center whether for a tongue tie release, laser soft palate treatment, airway orthodontics, or myofunctional therapy you’ve already made massive changes for your health.
Better breathing. Better sleep. Better function. ✨
But here’s the truth: after these big transformations, your muscles and bones need help adjusting to their “new normal.” That’s where we come in.
Why Follow Up With Physical Therapy?
When your airway changes, your body doesn’t always know how to keep up. Muscles and bones in the face, neck, and trunk may still be working off old patterns; even though the airway is now free.
At Empower Movement Physical Therapy, we do the fine-tuning so your results are faster, smoother, and longer-lasting.
What Treatment Looks Like
We use highly specialized hands-on care to support your new airway function:
TMJ Release – easing jaw tension + balancing bite function.
Palate Expansion Support – manual soft tissue release inside the palate.
Craniosacral Therapy – realigning the cranial bones for better balance + function.
Neck + Vagus Nerve Work – releasing tension in the SCM, tongue, and anterior neck so the vagus nerve can settle into its new “home base.”
Pressure Regulation – helping your head, ribs, and diaphragm adjust to new breathing patterns.
Work on the front of your neck muscles - calming down accessory breathing muscles that might have been helping your prior to breath but now we are going to focus on the diaphragm taking over.
It’s about getting your body to stop fighting the changes—and start flowing with them.
How Patients Feel After
Patients often describe their results as life-changing:
Breathing feels easier, more natural—not forced.
Heart rate variability (HRV) improves.
A lightness in the face + head.
Less tension in the jaw, neck, and shoulders.
The body finally feels “at ease.”
This isn’t just about airway—it’s about nervous system regulation, posture, and whole-body function.
This is ONLY from working on this patient's head, neck, face for 8 minutes. We did not touch his hip.
