209 Myofunctional Therapy Series part 1 with Sarah Hornsby

A Tale of Two Hygienists is starting the New Year off with a brand new series focusing on myofunctional therapy, which focuses on the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. To walk us through this complex subject, we have a very special guest accompanying us over the next few episodes.

 

Sarah K. Hornsby, RDH, is a myofunctional therapist, speaker and mentor. Her interest in myofunctional disorders arose from her own myofunctional problems, inspiring her to ask bigger questions about why these issues are prevalent in today’s society. This ultimately led to her launching her own myofunctional therapy practice, Faceology, a decade ago.

 

In this episode, Sarah discusses what pushed her to take up myofunctional therapy, explains what she hopes for her patients to achieve by the end of their treatments, and reveals some of the pushback she experienced trying to talk about these disorders with patients.

 

 

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

 

Interview starts: 17:04

 

- How Sarah went from hygiene school to the school of hard knocks in a very short span of time.

 

- Looking back at how “fringe” myofunctional therapy was thought to be only a decade ago.
