Can I do Myo Manual program on my own
Thursday, 29 December 2011
I noticed as well that I tend to keep my mouth partially open when I get distracted. I was researching the internet and I saw a video and found the website.
I think your kit could be a good idea. Is it possible to do it on my own, just from the manual?

Adult with airway issues
