The right tool for the right job. We EAT and TALK most effectively by the "RIGHT MOUTH".
Proficiency in Oral Motor Techniques
精通口腔肌肉重組技術
In HKOMR, therapists are trained continuously after registration and accredited by the Department of Health in various oral motor techniques. Our speech therapy are backed up with anatomy and physiology with the latest updates in neuroscience researches. Our specialized trainings include oral muscle stretching and training, electrical and somatosensory stimulation, kinesiology technique, postural supporting strategies, pain and tension relieve, soft tissue release and adjustments etc.
我們的治療師獲衛生署認可，並在畢業後持續進修及培訓。我們的言語治療以解剖及生理學為後盾，結合現時的神經科學的最新研究。我們的專業培訓包括口腔肌肉拉伸和訓練、電和體感刺激、運動學技術、姿勢策略、疼痛和緊張緩解、軟組織調整和放鬆等。
Why is it important?
We PRACTICE mouth.
Pianists practice finger coordination to perform great pieces. Athletes practice intensive leg exercises for explosion and speed. We human practice complex oral motor system to communicate and eat.
Reconstruction simply means re-creating and rebuilding. Speaking and swallowing are both one of the most complex and rapid motor tasks in human that involve a precise coordination of over 100 orofacial, laryngeal and respiratory muscles. Starting with the first cry at birth and the first suckle from milk, we human learn and refine the oral sensory motor system progressively over the years. The advance in neuroscience confirms that there is motor system involvement even in our speech perception and cognition. The role of speech motor system should be well incorporated into the practice of speech therapy.
我們應該鍛鍊口肌，就像鋼琴家鍛鍊手指運動和田徑運動員鍛鍊腿部肌肉一樣。人類說話和吞嚥時，需時同時精確地協調超過100多條肌肉，包括口面部、喉部和呼吸肌等，是人類最複雜和最快速的運動之一。我們隨成長逐漸學習和完善口腔感覺運動系統。腦神經科學的發展亦證實口腔運動系統同時參與了言語感知和認知（即語言理解)的過程中，其重要性直接影響言語治療效率。
We Practice Mouth
訓練針對各種口腔活動
We analyze every patient's unique oral motor pattern including strength, range, alignment, tonicity, rate and
coordination of different orofacial muscles. Our sessions are designed to fulfill and incorporate individual oral sensory and motor systems so that they can work together to serve various functional purposes.
分析每位患者獨特的口腔運動模式，包括肌肉的力量、移動範圍、對稱度、肌肉張力、速度和協調度等。
旨在整合個人口腔感覺和運動系統，以直接介入各種功能活動。
EVERY MOUTH IS UNIQUE

JAW 下顎
Our jaw not only facilitates mastication and phonation itself, but also stabilizes to facilitate the movement of other oral muscles including face, lips and tongue.
負責咀嚼，保持穩定度以移動鄰近口腔肌肉，包括臉部、嘴唇和舌頭。
TONGUE 舌
Tongue serves the functions of taste,
shaping for accurate speech, moving food around the oral cavity and trigger swallowing reflex.
負責品嚐味道，建構準確音節，協助有效咀嚼食物，並觸發吞嚥反射。
Salivary Management
唾液/口水管理
Remember the weird feeling when your saliva was suctioned while having dental procedures? You may not know how many times you swallow your saliva everyday as we learn the salivary management skills as we grow and become reflexive.
探訪牙醫時，即使口水被儀器吸去後口腔變乾，但仍會不自主吞口水。吞口水是反射行為，頻次受年齡，身體狀況，情緒狀態等影響。故當相關神經受損，或口腔意識不足，唾液處理時會出現困難, 例如流口水，口水變多或少，或過稀過杰等。
