A simple (5 exercise) myology program is proposed as adjunctive therapy for the cure of sleep disorder breathing. Rationale and justifications are highlighted with the exploration of the evolutional changes to human anatomy and physiology that predisposed us to airway illness. Discussions are made regarding their only known curative measures and the current “choke point” interferences for clinical successes.

Evidence-based and validated exercises centered on cultural behavioral norms ubiquitous throughout the history of civilized societies are explained. Clinical examples are presented of each exercises with their short and long-term impacts.
The program comprises of two oral postural exercises, 1) Counting/Reading, which aids in achieving nasal breathing at rest and 2) Meal-Time Chewing, which focuses on maintaining a proper oral rest position; And the three swallowing exercises, 3) Click–air, 4) Wave-liquid, 5) Gum-solid, which when applied consecutively, develop the tonicity and biofunctional support for a therapeutic rest position for airway sleep health.
