Safe through the Castillo Morales concept

Are you looking for comprehensive information on the therapeutic support for individuals with muscular hypotonia, orofacial dysfunctions, neuromuscular diseases, or facial paralysis? Then this book is just right for you! Learn everything about the origins of the concept, the neurobiological and medical-therapeutic foundations, assessments, the most important observation criteria, and the treatment process from an interdisciplinary perspective. Numerous treatment examples will help you implement the concepts in practice. Read about how a toddler with Down syndrome learns to stand thanks to therapy. Or how a patient with facial paralysis can drink better again through targeted daily aids and exercises.

The Castillo Morales concept - formerly better known as orofacial regulation therapy - emphasizes the inseparability of the body and the orofacial complex. Castillo Morales therapists offer targeted assistance that positively impacts the muscle tone and mobility of their patients. To this end, therapists use manual techniques such as touching, stroking, pressure, pulling, and especially vibration.
