Absolutely. Many recent scientific studies have shown that treatment for OMDs can be 80-90% effective in correct swallowing and rest posture function and that these corrections are retained years after completing therapy (Hahn&Hahn, 1992). Many factors are attributed to the success of therapy, but cooperation is crucial. Collaboration with other professionals also warrants successful outcomes.
Registered healthcare professionals may practice OMT, as long as their provincial regulatory body states that it falls within their respective scope of practice. In Ontario, dentists, dental hygienists, and speech-language pathologists are able to practice OMT after receiving post-grad training.
