Your tongue is the key to peak performance
Unlock increased endurance through better breathing, enhanced flexibility through reduced tension, and all around improved performance through proper tongue positioning.
THE POWER OF THE TONGUE
Why it’s called the “magic muscle”
Your tongue is tied to your toes. It’s a physiological marvel with far-reaching impacts on your overall health and well-being. This "magic muscle" influences everything from your breathing to your agility. Understanding its power is the first step towards unlocking your potential.
01
Your Tongue
Your tongue is connected to your body's core through an intricate network of tissues that runs from your mouth to your toes. This connection explains why proper tongue position can influence your whole body's movement and stability. Think of it as the foundation that helps align your body for better performance.
02
Breathing & Endurance
When your tongue rests properly on the roof of your mouth, it helps guide your breathing through your nose instead of your mouth. During training and competition, you will take in oxygen more efficiently and maintain energy levels longer because you are upgrading your body's air filtration system.
03
Agility & Flexibility
The position of your tongue affects the tension in your neck and spine, which influences how freely you can move. When your tongue is properly positioned, it releases unnecessary tension throughout your body. Athletes improve their range of motion once they correct their tongue position.
04
Strength
Your tongue position affects your jaw and neck stability, which creates a foundation for the rest of your body's movements. Think of it like building a house - a solid foundation helps everything above it work better. This stability can help you maintain better form during training and competition.
