So, now you also belong to the club of MFT-athletes, the club of tongue-fighters,
maybe only since this afternoon, or maybe it's
already
been
a
few weeks. In any case, since you first spoke to
your MFT- trainer. Probably
a dentist, a speech therapist or your
orthodontist.
One thing is for sure, he or
she will want to help you make your muscles stronger
and more supple. And that is
the most important job of a trainer. Surely you have seen on TV how
the trainer makes the big football stars do bends
and strenuous stretches, break into a sweat.
Oh, I see - you mean, of course, for
football or boxing or wrestling you
need a whole lot of strong muscles, but not for speaking,
chewing and swallowing? You're very much mistaken,
if that's what you mean. The tongue and the lips
are muscles that have to work all day long, and even when you sleep, they
never quite rest. Quite a lot and heavy these
muscles of the mouth actually have to work. -- In fact, much more than the biceps and calf
muscles.You need the biceps when you lift something or when
you are romping with your friends; you need the
calf muscles when you run or ride a bike. But
when and how often do you have to lift something
heavy?
How many times a day do you run? How
long do you ride your bike every day?
But you talk and swallow all day long,
and chewing is not neglected either
Just think of all the snacks you eat when you sit in
front of the TV. So, we are all agreed:
Your mouth-
muscles need practice, workout! Your main trainer
for this job,
your dentist, your speech therapist or your muscle function
therapist:
Your training programme is called
Mouthmuscle
Function Therapy, also called Myofunctional
Therapy or for short 'Emm-Eff- Tee = MFT
|
Such a training programme was
our book
from which you would be reading,if
you had that real book of Paper and paint. We,
the writers
from the real book of that time were, so to say, the assis-tants of your trainer. But
only
the assistants and that means that you don't just have to
read this description and then forget the
sessions
with your trainer. On the
contrary, you should use this website together in your training work
- you and your trainer. This will help you both;
the work will be a bit easier. Your trainer can
explain some exercises better to you,
if you look at the screen together. It's
best to take the
computer with you to every training session.
And what you might have forgotten after the
training session, you can look it up again in
the programme at home. If you don't feel like exercising on your own,
you can join your family or friends to play the
Championship Tongues
Game together. The game board and the rules of the competition
are at the end of the
description 'Tongue Fighter'. The
only thing you need to have now withe the web page
is a dice
and, as you don't have
the book, but everything on the screen, we have to
improvise.
Just take a dice from one of your games and the game pieces and make
yourself a printout of all the essential pages.
( a
comment )-
First
of all there will be a proper training; otherwise you can' t take part at
the sports festival of the championship tongues.
So - now you have to go to the next page, because now it really
starts. We wish you a lot of fun and great success with MFT training
with your tongue.
n(We.... ......that were: Dr. Erhard Thiele,
also >MFT-Edi< , with Assistentin Melanie
Kaltenegger, who painted the
original wonderful pictures, und
Norbert Netzer, who, times ago, made a book from all this..).
