TASL Health’s Approach
Through The Nefesh Method™, we help patients reestablish proper tongue function and breathing patterns, restore balance in the body, and optimize muscle coordination. This integrated, whole-body approach not only addresses the immediate condition but also enhances overall vitality and well-being.
At TASL Health, we don’t just treat tongue tie; we restore your body’s natural functions for a balanced, pain-free life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tongue tie occurs when the tissue (frenulum) connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth is too short or tight, limiting movement. This restriction can affect how a person breathes, swallows, speaks, and even how the jaw and posture develop. Left unaddressed, it can lead to oral tension, airway restriction, and long-term compensations throughout the body.
Recovery depends on the severity of restriction and how the body has adapted over time. At TASL Health, recovery is a process of functional restoration—not just wound healing. Most patients begin noticing improvements in oral comfort, mobility, and breathing within the first few sessions, with continued progress as the systems integrate and strengthen through The Nefesh Method™.
Yes. A frenectomy alone releases tissue, but it doesn’t retrain the muscles or nervous system. Post-release therapy is essential to prevent reattachment, support healing, and restore full function. Our team provides specialized pre- and post-frenectomy therapy that includes myofunctional, craniosacral, and airway-based techniques to ensure lasting results.
Absolutely. Adults often experience chronic tension, TMJ discomfort, sleep issues, or neck pain related to unresolved tongue restriction. Through gentle, whole-body therapy, we help adults restore balance, improve breathing, and retrain functional movement patterns—often without surgical integration.
Our Speech-Language Pathologists specialize in Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders and Craniosacral Therapy, supported by Lymphatic, Myofascial, and Movement Specialists. Together, they address how tongue function affects the entire body—airway, posture, and nervous system—guiding patients toward natural, efficient movement and lasting recovery.
Our Approach to Tongue Tie Recovery
Most tongue tie treatments focus only on releasing the tissue.
At TASL Health, we focus on retraining the system — restoring strength, mobility, and integration through The Nefesh Method™, which targets seven key pillars of healing.
Our recovery process may include:
-
Airway Optimization & Myofunctional Retraining
Re-educating the muscles of the tongue, jaw, and airway for efficient breathing and oral rest posture. -
Craniosacral & Myofascial Therapy
Gentle, hands-on techniques that release structural tension and improve mobility throughout the head, neck, and body. -
Lymphatic Drainage & Postural Integration
Supporting proper healing, fluid flow, and balance after release or therapy. -
Neuromuscular Repatterning
Teaching the tongue, face, and body to work together again — improving swallowing, speech, and breathing naturally.
Whether you’ve had a frenectomy or are exploring non-surgical correction, our goal is the same:
to help your body function as one connected system — not just move a single muscle.
