Here is a description of OSB therapy from literature on OSB:
"Breathing and swallowing are essential to life, so our bodies d owhat is necessary
to help the mouth and throat perform these functions efficiently. For some people, these instictive efforts cause pain
and other symptoms.
The culprit is the tongue. This can prevent the mouth and throat from functioning
properly. The tongue can fall back from the mouth to narrow the throat, decreasing air intake and impeding swallowing.
Few are conscious of this, but the body automatically adjusts to keep the throat open. It does this so we can survive.
The price can include poor posture, headaches, aches and pains in the back and neck, sleep problems, and even stress-like
feelings as the body produces adrenaline to help the muscles work better.
OSB therapy addresses these symptoms with a patent-pending system that includes assessment
and diagnostic testing along with a custom-designed oral device that helps keep the throat open. This device lets the
throat muscles relax, permitting deeper breathing and easier swallowing. The therapy also helps balance the autonomic
nervous system, which regulates body functions such as heart rate, body temperature and digestion.
When the therapy is applied by a licensed OSB practitioner,
not only can breathing and swallowing improve, but also posture can correct itself naturally and sleep can become more restful
and refreshing."
