From Mouth to Movement: How Oral Alignment Shapes Breathing, Posture, and Whole-Body Wellness: Healthcare from Your Dentist's Chair

What if the key to better breathing, balanced posture, and more efficient movement begins in the mouth?

In this illuminating webcast, Laura Walls, M.S., CCC-SLP, licensed Speech-Language Pathologist and pioneer in whole-body myofunctional therapy, reveals how oral alignment — including tongue position, jaw mechanics, lip posture, and swallowing patterns — plays a foundational role in airway function, neurological regulation, postural stability, and systemic health.

Drawing on over three decades of clinical experience across pediatrics and adult care, Laura unpacks the often-overlooked oral-systemic connection, showing how dysfunctional oral posture and compensatory breathing patterns can contribute to chronic tension, fatigue, sleep-disordered breathing, and movement imbalances throughout the body.

Participants will explore how proper oral rest posture and nasal breathing support parasympathetic balance, optimal oxygenation, and musculoskeletal alignment — and how evidence-based orofacial myofunctional therapy can retrain breathing, swallowing, and neuromuscular patterns for lasting whole-body wellness.

This session offers a systems-based framework for integrating oral, airway, sensory, and postural health into comprehensive wellness and prevention strategies, with practical insights for clinicians, coaches, and health-conscious individuals alike.

Whether you’re a healthcare provider seeking integrative tools or a wellness seeker curious about how structure shapes function, this conversation invites you to rethink the mouth as a powerful gateway to sustainable, whole-body healing and movement efficiency.
