I am a disabled Vietnam vet who suffers from an anxiety disorder due to PTSD. Shortly after my 70th birthday I began experiencing an inability to control my tongue movement. I visited a number of medical specialists and had an MRI done. However, I did not have a definitive diagnosis of this new disorder or any treatment plan to address the problem. My wife began doing research about my symptoms and discovered that what I was experiencing was described as a “tongue thrust”. We then began searching for specialists who could treat this disorder. We soon realized there were few trained and certified people in this field throughout the whole United States. However, when I came upon the IMT website we were both very impressed with what we saw and heard. Chris Zombek seemed very knowledgeable, and professional. My wife called her and set up my first appointment at her home office. The first time I met her, I found her to be very friendly and welcoming. I was very impressed with her evaluation techniques and she took the time to listen to my concerns with a sympathetic ear. After that first visit, I was sure that Chris would do everything in her power to help me. She even contacted and worked with my other medical providers in order to gain a wholistic understanding of who I was. Chris taught me step by step strategies and techniques that helped me to improve dramatically in a short period of time. When the pandemic came I was grateful that Chris continued to work with me through her telemedicine website. This allowed me to continue to maintain consistency with my therapy. The most valuable outcomes for me from this therapy is that I have gained back control in my life, improved my self-esteem and improved my relationships. I would highly recommend Chris Zombek to anybody who needs myofunctional therapy. Thank you, Chris for your patience, humor and thoughtfulness.
We have been working with Chris now for a year. Chris has done great things for our son. Everything from posture to exercises and detailed programmatic instructions are a part of the plan to assist with myofunction issues. The best part is Chris is willing to work with you on plans and really makes your child feel involved with the process. Cannot recommend her enough.
