What is the correct tongue rest position?
A prerequisite for correct, biological tongue tension and tongue movement is coordinated inner and outer tongue musculature. It goes hand in hand with complicated, precise movement patterns such as chewing, swallowing and speaking. Incorrect tensions can only be corrected through exercise therapies that take such patterns into account. To do this, exercises must not stray too far from the specific range of motion of the patterns. With the FaceFormer training, this is taken into account for the first time.

They are the result of elaborate, scientifically controlled adaptations on a large number of patients.
Nasal breathing prevents from dangerous pathogens
The natural breathing through the nose ensures protection against pathogenic intruders. A large part of the attacking viruses, bacteria and other pathogens are already filtered out and rendered harmless in the nose. Mouth breathing is comparatively dangerous. It allows disease-causing viruses and bacteria unhindered access to the respiratory organs.
Mouth breathing is harmful to health
Many people are affected by harmful mouth breathing. Very few people know how effective the nose is as a filter against dangerous pathogens.
Sleep Apnea – Treating causes instead of just symptoms
For obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), positive pressure ventilation using CPAP is the standard treatment method. However, due to side effects, patient acceptance of the method varies widely. In addition, studies show that the therapy method cannot fulfill many of the hopes placed in it for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. CPAP treatment only alleviates symptoms. As a purely symptomatic treatment, however, the method cannot replace a causal therapy that attacks the cause of the health disorder.
Healthy nasal breathing works against allergies
People who habitually breathe through the mouth are often plagued by allergies that affect the respiratory tract. They lack important defense functions because the filtering system of the nose remains unused.
Protection against pathogens – Nose breathing and mouth breathing compared
Nasal breathing naturally fulfills important tasks in the defense against pathogens. Although the protective mechanisms of the nose do not provide absolute security against viruses and other harmful invaders, the majority of attackers are already stopped in the nose. People who breathe mainly through the mouth instead of the nose lack this defense mechanism. They therefore not only have a higher susceptibility to many diseases, but are also more intensively and frequently affected by them.
Nasal breathing – Natural protection against infection with corona virus
Mouth breathing is often, as a result of obstructed nasal breathing, a trigger and amplifier of respiratory allergies. People who frequently breathe through the mouth are particularly susceptible to infections via the airways and are more severely affected than nasal breathers.
FACEFORMER Therapy – Causally against many symptoms
The goal of the FACEFORMER therapy method is to correct the causes of a syndrome (Cranio-Cervical Dysfunction Syndrome, or CCDS for short). Disorders of the two most vital functional systems, respiration and swallowing, cause numerous illnesses that manifest themselves individually in a wide variety of symptoms. The FACEFORMER Method focuses on correcting malfunctions at their cause, stabilizing the biological system and thus eliminating the syndrome itself.
