Using a tongue bulb, specifically in the context of an oral exerciser like the Abilex, involves gently pulling the handle while pressing your lips tightly to hold the bulb in your mouth.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Positioning: Ensure the tether involved are comfortably placed in your mouth. It's crucial to have a secure and comfortable fit before proceeding.
- Handle and Lip Pressure: Gently pull the handle of the oral exerciser.
- Lip Seal: Simultaneously, press your lips as tightly as possible to maintain a strong seal around the bulb. This seal is essential for creating the necessary suction or resistance.
The exercise focuses on strengthening the muscles used for speech and swallowing. The key is a consistent and tight lip seal while manipulating the bulb via the handle.
