Therapeutic programs

Anna Regner uses an individual therapeutic program based on many remedial methods, primarily on Orofacial Castillo Morales therapy, neurosensomotor integration, craniosacral therapy and infant massage, an effective neuromuscular tension and pain release method from Ross Emmett.

The program is meant for babies, children and adults with medical conditions such as: Muscular hypotonic, hypertonic e.g., as in the case of Down syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome and other problems. Orofacial disorders, e.g., as in the case of neurological disturbances, facial paralyses, Autism, Moebius Syndrome, Pierre Robin syndrome and lip, jaw and palatal clefts. Central-motor disorders and multiple disabilities, e.g., as in the case of cerebral palsy and skull-brain trauma, neuromuscular disorder and face asymmetry.

The therapy is oriented towards the stimulation of: sensory- motor integration, muscle tension regulation, swallowing, chewing, mastication, to reduce drooling, to improve lip closure, to improve tongue lateralization strength, to increase symmetrical jaw stability, to improve facial muscle strengthening exercises, to encourage nose breathing, neuromotor face trigger points activated through tactile stimulation, facial massage using vibration and intraoral stimulation, speech development. Oral- Motor Exercises is effective for clients of all ages and ability levels.
