How to Interpret Your Results

• 0–3 checked boxes: Tongue restriction is less likely, but function may still be optimized
• 4–7 checked boxes: Possible functional restriction worth evaluating
• 8 or more checked boxes: Strong indication that tongue restriction may be contributing to symptoms

What a Functional Evaluation Looks At

A comprehensive evaluation may assess:

• Tongue mobility and strength
• Rest posture and swallow patterns
• Jaw and airway function
• Compensation patterns throughout the body

✨ Next Step

If this checklist resonated with you, a functional evaluation can help determine whether tongue restriction is playing a role — and what supportive options may help restore balance, comfort, and long-term stability.
