My GP suggested seeing a speech language pathologist. Well, I have to admit I had my reservations but I’m so glad I went. I would never stop my oropharyngeal exercises. I started doing them 4 times daily and now do them twice daily. I do a series of 8 exercises. My snoring has all but stopped now and I’m not gasping for breath as I was, my wife and I now share the same bed once again.
THROW AWAY YOUR CPAP IN 20 MINUTES PER DAY! So I’ll bet your next question is: “How long do I have to spend doing these exercises?” Here’s the great news: many of the exercises in my program take less than 1 minute to do the repetitions.

One of the biggest obstacles to completing an exercise program successfully is knowing exactly how to do the exercises.
Therapy is costly in terms of time, energy and money; which brings me back to why I am glad this e-book is off the ground and in your hands.
In effect, you are multiplying the benefits. My youngest daughter who has Down’s syndrome responded very well to the new exercises I found in the book.

The exercises are similar to those my children were taught with a twist – they are better because there are inputs from not just one speech pathologist but many consultants.
But with the comprehensive range of exercises I’ve put together in my program, you’ll have a good variety of choices.

My wife couldn’t sleep and we ended up in separate bedrooms. The snoring was an issue true enough-but she couldn’t sleep next to me out of fear. She honestly thought I was going to pass away in my sleep and hated the CPAP machine as much as I did.
