Hey are there any exercises I could do to strengthen the tongue such that it is easier to place the tongue at the top of palate? I have been holding the tongue there but I think more force is better and exercising the tongue will yield faster results.
I pretty much only hold my tongue there. I feel there is a lot more that I could do aside from chewing. Which I also don't do since it exacerbates my jaw TMJ.
do tongue pushups its exaqctly what you think it is. or just swallow in the mirror for a lot of repetitions
Google or search on youtube for myofunctional therapy, tongue exercises -- there are so many tongue strengthening exercises it's difficult to list here. I've been slowly working on a descriptive list to post here on my own routine, but the truth is there's just no better way than in-person instruction.
I'll try to respond later with more detail.
i guess its like any other muscle it can grow and atrophy
