Nuestros invitados de hoy son dos médicos reconocidos que están reimaginando la forma en que tratamos problemas respiratorios comunes como la apnea del sueño, los ronquidos y la postura oral adecuada. El profesor Dr. Dr. Wilfried Engelke y la Dra. Sandra Kahn D.D.D.S, M.S.D se sientan para discutir su investigación y nueva técnica, creada por el Dr. Engelke, llamada Maniobra Uplock. En este episodio discutimos:
- La Maniobra Uplock y cómo esta innovadora técnica enseña al paciente a crear presión negativa de vacío en la boca.- Cómo esta técnica permite que la lengua se mantenga arriba en el paladar todo el día y la noche.- Cómo la Maniobra Uplock puede beneficiar a adultos y niños con problemas de sueño, ronquidos y patrones de respiración bucal poco saludables.- Y cómo la Maniobra Uplock puede ayudar a los atletas a mejorar su rendimiento deportivo.
