Fx Therapies is built on the belief that every human deserves FUNCTIONAL breathing, eating/swallowing, and communication skills. We are here to help our clients by providing a combination of speech and language therapy, feeding/swallowing, and myofunctional therapy to help our clients reach their highest potential. These skills do not come naturally for some children or have been established habits due to various factors in our adult clients and THAT’S WHERE WE COME IN TO PLAY. Where we help our clients become functional breathers, eaters, and communicators..

Our Services
Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional therapy treats the UNDERLYING orofacial myofunctional disorders of chewing, breathing and swallowing. Myofunctional therapy focuses on using exercises/tools to 1)Promote nasal breathing for optimal breathing and facial development 2) Prevent tongue thrust at rest which can lead to dental, speech and swallowing difficulties 3) Promote lip seal for optimal facial development 4) identify and address restricted tongue, lip, cheek ties to prevent breathing, swallowing and speech difficulties and 5) Improve sleep quality and overall quality of life.
Feeding/Swallowing Therapy
For children, feeding therapy focuses on helping a child learn how to eat and/or expand the variety of developmentally appropriate foods in their repertoire. We work with children to provide them with the skills (sensory and motor) they need to make meal time more enjoyable and nutritious.
For adults, swallowing therapy can help with optimal oral functioning, prevent tongue thrust and orthodontic relapse and increase smooth integration of the facial and oral muscles.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy focuses on remediation of sound errors and increases functional communication skills to allow our clients to be understood and to be able to connect with others around them. We at Fx Therapies, use a oral motor based approach to treating speech sound disorders.
We currently serve our clients within their homes IN PERSON or via TELE-THERAPY or at their SCHOOLS.
Our Team.
“There is no better feeling than seeing your client’s eyes light up when they ‘get it’ for the first time, when they taste a new food for the first time, when they connect with another for the first time, and when they benefit from functional breathing, swallowing and communication skills enhancing their quality of life”
