Tongue-Tie Technique Workshop

What is the Tongue-Tie Technique Workshop?

In this 4-hour workshop intensive, you’ll experience a deep-dive hands-on immersion into the cross-disciplinary field surrounding the topic of tongue ties. More comprehensively, the category of oral restrictions and Tethered Oral Tissues will be discussed. Neel Bulchandani will present his experience and insight along with bodywork techniques he created via working on many orally-restricted patients, infants, and adults alike. This technique is designed to help those who desire a holistic treatment for oral ties, and it also greatly enhances the efficacy of surgical procedures related to oral ties (frenectomy and frenuloplasty).

What You'll Learn

You’ll get tips on how to stay objective in this process and be positioned to offer insight geared towards patient-centered care. In this information-heavy era, it can be overwhelming for patients and providers to arrive at the best solutions for individual needs. It’s time to be well informed, yet it’s even more vital to lean into our intuitive intelligence; and more than ever, we need to band together in order to support moms, families, and those individuals struggling with these oral restrictions.

Who Is This For?

This is for anyone in health care currently working with patients with oral ties or those who desire to be involved in this rapidly growing field. Whether you’re a massage therapist, bodyworker, myofunctional therapist, physical therapist, chiropractor, naturopath, osteopath, dental professional, ENT professional, speech therapist, sensory-processing therapist, or anyone in the birth worker field (doulas, midwives, lactation consultants, obstetricians, nurses), this workshop can benefit you greatly. If you want to draft on Dr. Neel’s collaborative relationships with Tongue-Tie professionals (locally, statewide, and internationally), I highly recommend attending this workshop.

Is this only for hands-on therapists and practitioners?

No, this is for anyone interested in learning more about this field and desiring to be better positioned to discuss it with peers and patients. Certain portions will be geared towards those with specialized training in issues accompanying tongue ties — Craniosacral Therapists, Craniosacral Fascial Therapists/Gillespie Approach, myofunctional therapists, Rolfers, and chiropractors/osteopaths. For those hands-on practitioners, advanced techniques will be more readily grasped and ascertained and, of course, implemented; however, it’s advantageous for all involved in this field to observe healing modalities that can broaden and deepen our collective understanding in helping this seemingly-growing subset of the population.

How the technique originated

In his collaborative approach with Tongue-Tie providers in Redding (and in other areas of California) and through the process of having 3 children with oral ties, Dr. Neel has identified patterns that accompany patients with tongue ties — from those in cranial and spinal misalignments to those in body-wide myofascial (soft tissue) restrictions and even those related to nutritional deficiencies and environmental toxicities. Through hands-on care with many patients in the last 5 years and his research and cross-referral work with professionals in related fields of dentistry, otolaryngology, osteopathy, myofunctional therapy, and frequency medicine, Dr. Neel has systematized a protocol for facilitating the improvement of mobility and function in patients with oral ties.
