A short diarized excerpt from a YouTube conversation (Hallie Bulkin and another speaker) about tethered oral tissue issues and oral motor/oral-mechanism (oral mech) evaluation. The speakers reflect on gaps in professional training about assessing tethered tissues and emphasize evaluating function; clinical experiences (feeding beads reference) prompted deeper clinical inquiry.
And those were like wow stuff I just didn't know. Didn't.
Know.
You know had of course done a million and one oral mechs I'm sure by this point and you know, remember oral mech being really important in graduate school and honestly still just as a trained professional, still not trained. Right. Still not trained in tenure world tissues didn't know exactly what I was looking for how to evaluate it looking at the function functional side of things carrying that over into the my world.
And.
So yes I would say feed the beads itself prompted another journey.
Into the my world. You went now that rabbit hole. It's our kids that do it to us. But I'm like, I'm like so sorry guys. I'm so sorry that I've not sent you down a whole new rabbit hole from but you know, I think it's really interesting because I know you have a very like integrative approach inside your practice.
