You will be amazed to learn how the tongue and larynx are related to so many structures in the body. You will be surprised just how many of your patients can benefit from these techniques, how many people are affected in the adult population.


Many people suffer from trauma to the larynx/pharynx.  It can come from voice overuse, direct trauma, strangulation, surgery, intubation e.g. during general anesthesia, ventilators, chronic laryngitis/bronchitis/mediastinitis, swallowing or breathing conditions, etc.
 
Tongue-tie or ankyloglossia is a condition described as having a prevalence of 5% in the general population. But because there is no standardized test or approved grading system the number may be much higher.

Many of your adult or child patients/clients can suffer from symptoms that can be alleviated from the tongue-tie protocol including headaches, neck/shoulder/upper extremity tightness, fatigue, pain/soreness, forward head posture, speech problems, feeding problems, mouth breathing, sleep apnea, teeth grinding (bruxism), crowded teeth, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunctions, reflux, aerophagia, etc.

Your clients may fail to mention some of these issues as they may have accepted these issues as normal or believe there is nothing they can do about it.

In this online mini-course, you will learn to assess ankyloglossia and to work with the three constrictor muscles, the epiglottis, the hyoid, the cricoid, the thyroid cartilage, the corniculate and arytenoid cartilages, the tracheal rings, the SCM, and the esophagus in a specific protocol.

Some techniques have been shown in the cervical part of LDV Th-Abd (LDT Applications to Viscera Thorax-Abdomen).  Many new important information is given.

My son and husband are singers, and I work on them, they feel a huge difference.  They are very much able to shift their voices from high to low, it used to strain them and now they don't even get hoarse anymore.  This is after 4 - 5 hours of singing.

Thanks a ton.

During the vocal cord class (VT), I discovered that my inferior laryngeal recurrent nerve was stuck around the arch of the aorta.  (I have had HTN since I was 13 years old.  Had surgery with intubation at age 7. )  Freed up the nerve and during activity of lifting felt the cinched aorta open up.  My blood pressure has dramatically improved.  Down to one drug from 2.  Now only on an ACE inhibitor.  Of interest, even on the drugs, my blood pressure was elevated to mild hypertension.  Now the diastolic in normal!!!!  Thank you Bruno.

I wanted to take this class as my first exposure to the Chikly Institute, and I enjoyed this very much. My neck ROM has increased as well (I have a mild tongue tie). Thank you! 

Planning on Lymph 1 in Florida this fall.

I practiced these techniques on my brother and my husband during the class.  My brother has increased range of motion, more comfort in his throat and is able to breathe more deeply.  My husband feels much more relaxed, his shoulders are less elevated, his throat feels more open and he is breathing more deeply. 

Thank you.

Dr Chikly’s course on voice dysfunctions brought some of my previous training and new skills together. I am now able to treat soft tissue dysfunction that may impact voice dysfunction and tongue-tie in a systematic way.  Thank you for another excellent course.
