Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#33 - Before You Get a MARPE or Tongue Tie Release, Watch This | Mike Cantrell, PT
Q: What's your take on the physical body, and what are some of the treatment plans you and Dr. Alice and your team put together for people?
Cantrell says treatment should follow a thorough diagnosis and patient selection, starting with the most conservative option. He describes assessing body function and breathing mechanics before choosing an appliance, tongue-tie release or MARPE, and says some patients may improve without an invasive procedure.
#33 - Before You Get a MARPE or Tongue Tie Release, Watch This | Mike Cantrell, PT
Q: What are some realistic things that might impact a kid if their bite is off, and what might make sports performance harder?
Cantrell says a crossbite can bias how a child loads the body and may affect neck position, rib-cage movement and breathing. He recounts a 14-year-old runner whose crossbite constrained his movement and respiration, and who improved his time by four seconds after two exercises.
#24 - Beauty Is Breathing: The Airway-Aesthetics Connection with Dr. Stanley Liu
Q: Can you explain why the airway should be thought of as a system rather than just a collection of bones and teeth?
Because the muscles and their memory drive function; focusing on muscle yields a deeper, more actionable understanding of airway behavior during sleep and treatment outcomes.
#9 - Breathing Comes First: How Sleep, Anxiety & Oral Function Shape Our Kids’ Health with Ronit Agassi
Q: What is the 'magic' or takeaway you want families to leave with after a session, and how do you tailor it to fit each family's situation?
There are multiple routes to an end goal; we tailor plans to where the family is. We emphasize realistic steps, safety, and pacing, and we combine breathing, reflex work, and feeding strategies with a strong emphasis on bonding and parental empowerment, ensuring the plan fits the family context.
#9 - Breathing Comes First: How Sleep, Anxiety & Oral Function Shape Our Kids’ Health with Ronit Agassi
Q: What was your journey like from grad school to where you are today, and how did you integrate different pathways into your current practice?
My path started with an interest in executive functions and a personal connection to a family member with difficulties. I explored research on language, later adding reflux integration and oral motor work, which helped me connect breathing, feeding, and motor planning into a comprehensive approach.
