ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Gregg Johnson, PT, FFMT, FAAOMPT is a 1971 graduate from the University of Southern California School of Physical Therapy.  Following PT school, he was accepted into a one-year Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) residency with the systems developer Maggie Knott at Kaiser Vallejo Rehabilitation Center.  He remained at Kaiser as a senior PNF faculty for six years.  During his time at Kaiser Vallejo, he began his extensive study of Manual Therapy approaches, including Maitland, Norwegon, Cyriax, and alternative approaches such as Rolfing, Feldenkrais, Tragger Work, Alexandar Technique, Aston Patterning, and Hellerwork. Mr. Johnson is best known for his identification of the need for Physical Therapists to integrate treatment of the facial system into manual therapy and the development of the first Soft Tissue Mobilization course (Functional Orthopedics) in 1980. In addition, He utilized his extensive background in PNF to adapt standard manual therapy techniques of Joint Mobilization and develop the dynamic techniques of Functional Mobilization™ and Resistance Enhanced Manipulation™ (REM) techniques for joints, soft tissues, and neurovascular restrictions.  Mr. Johnson has trained or directed the training of over 60,000 therapists in the USA and internationally.  Gregory Johnson is the co-founder with Vicky Saliba Johnson of the Institute of Physical Art and co-developer of the Functional Manual Therapy™ approach. He is the Director of a credentialed AAOMPT/ACOMPTE Fellowship program and has published multiple chapters and articles on STM, PNF, and Functional Manual Therapy™. He has also spearheaded the movement to develop successful cash-based private practices. Over the last decade, his focus has been on developing an FMT approach for enhancing autonomic nervous system function with a focus on enhancing vagus nerve function.

✅ Dr. DeLuke and Nicole explore the 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩-𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, from mouth breathing to OSA, noting that 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫-𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 😫.

✅ Dr. DeLuke and Nicole emphasize that 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩-𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢-𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 🧩 and monotherapies aren't enough!

✅ They stress the need to 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡.

✅ They note that 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 🎓, but there are 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬.

✅ 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐬!💖 Seek providers who understand the airway-orthodontic connection and don't settle for providers who aren't asking about sleep 😴 and breathing 👃.

ABOUT THE GUESTS
Dr. Richard Ting earned his DDS from the USC in 1991 and practiced general dentistry for 8 years. He pursued post-graduate education in orthodontics at NYU earning his specialization in 2001. Dr. Ting practices in Southern California. He is among a select group of elite orthodontists in the nation skilled in the use of MARPE (Miniscrew-assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion) and is one of the most experienced in the world. As a specialist in structural, functional, and airway orthodontics, Dr. Ting focuses on improving jaw structure and function, while also addressing airway issues in children, teens, and adults. His methods aim to prevent long-term dependence on appliances and avoid the onset of an altered bite, moving beyond traditional orthodontic treatment that focuses on teeth alone. In addition, Dr. Ting has a deep understanding of TMJ disorders related to teeth grinding and clenching. He has successfully treated numerous patients who previously sought treatment elsewhere but had failed results with common orthodontic appliances and techniques.

Dr. Ilya Lipkin, DDS was born in Moscow and immigrated to the USA with his family in 1990. He earned a BA degree and DDS from NYU and then completed his residency in orthodontics in the college’s department of Post-Graduate Orthodontics. He went on to get additional training in the Roth-Williams philosophy which believes orthodontics should address all the structure of the chewing system, especially the jaw joints, which lacks in traditional orthodontic education today. Dr. Lipkin has developed groundbreaking methods for palatal expansion in adults. His approach is less invasive and more patient-friendly, aimed at improving both dental aesthetics and airway health. It’s not just about straightening teeth; it’s about breathing better, sleeping better, and ultimately living better.

ABOUT THE GUEST:
Walt Fritz is a PT who teaches a unique interpretation of manual therapy to SLPs, voice professionals, and other related communities. His gentle, non-manipulative, and interactive touch-based approach advances views of causation and impact from historical tissue-specific models into a multifactorial narrative, leaning heavily on biopsychosocial influences. His principles apply to a broad spectrum of intervention models using a model of evaluation and intervention that encourages equality between patient and clinician, utilizing shared decision-making rather than the biomedical clinician-as-expert approach. Unlike traditional laryngeal and soft tissue manipulation, Walt offers the clinician and patient a more subtle approach that gives the receiver more time to assess its influence and relevance. This approach is often better tolerated than aggressive forms of treatment and aligns well with newer research findings, allowing the patient to frame the intervention from their preferences and values. His work is equally appropriate for dysphagia, dysphonia, voice performance limitations, oral motor dysfunction, tongue-related concerns, breathing difficulties, and related disorders.  With a proper understanding of how touch acts as another form of communication, a broader range of professionals can harness the potential effectiveness of manual therapy. Walt presents his live, in-person workshops internationally through his Foundations in Manual Therapy Seminars, www.WaltFritz.com. His book "Manual Therapy in Voice and Swallowing: A Person-Centered Approach," is available through Amazon. Walt is a contributing author for The Oxford Handbook of Voice Pedagogy, which will be published by Oxford University Press in 2024 and The Vocal Athlete (Plural Publications). His paper, “The mechanism of action for laryngeal manual therapies: The need for an update,” will be published in an upcoming issue of Current Opinion in Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery.
