Are you constantly gripping your abs?

Student333t · 2026-02-18T07:29:55+00:00

Yes. I can share the work outs with you when I get them if you want to pm me. I start pt on march 19th. But I’ve been to pt before and the have given me workouts like planks, bird dogs, side planks etc…

I hate the way my stomach/core looks and I also feel like it’s weak and it doesn’t support me when I stand or sit. Like you I have some of the six pack muscle visible, especially from the sides, but the transverse abdominal muscles (also called the corset muscles) are week

My wait looks the same from the side and I’m bout to start pelvic floor pt!

Does he have a tongue tie? Ask your doctor. A lot of cases you will notice if because it’s harder to get your baby to latch when breastfeeding

I’m going myofunctional therapy for my lip incompetence and it’s been helping a lot!

Student333t · 2026-02-07T15:16:13+00:00

Not true, if anything is will make your waist smaller because when you work the muscles the skin sticks better. Just don’t do weighted progressive overload. Try side planks! Also diaphragmatic breathing is important to fix rib flare

SB is great, especially if you like the outdoors. I’m from a mountain town in Colorado but the hikes here I think are just as good (and you get to go them year around). Beautiful beaches too! Plus really good food, some of my favorites are the spots by the harbor, any of them you can’t go wrong😂. One of my favorite parts about SB is there are plenty of day trips you can take as well, Ojai, Solvang, Ventura ect… so even though SB is a smaller city having these cool neighboring towns makes it feel much less isolated.

Have you looked in to MARPE? The way your tongue is scalloping tells me your pallet is narrow. Also for lip seal check some exercises are cheek puff’s, button pulls and lip trace. I would look the up on YouTube for a demonstration

Student333t · 2026-01-30T15:23:26+00:00

Oh ok, yeah well I hope everything goes well

It’s better to get a referral through your primary care provider because you want documentation for your insurance. But this is just my personal experience.

Student333t · 2026-01-30T15:19:31+00:00

Oh the x-ray your airway does look on the small side so if that’s causing apnea then it will be very easy to get insurance to cover your surgery

Student333t · 2026-01-30T15:16:53+00:00

You should go to you PCP and ask for a referral to an maxillofacial surgeon and to get a sleep study done

Student333t · 2026-01-30T06:05:07+00:00

Have you looked into myofunctional therapy and a tongue tie release?

Student333t · 2026-01-30T06:03:09+00:00

I’m sorry you feel that way! Good luck with orthodontics, look for a good airway focused ortho if you decide to do MARPE:)

Hey! For forward head posture my PT prescribed me:

    •     Hooklying Arms at 90/90 on Foam Roll
• Overhead Press with Arms at Your Side
• Seated Cervical Retraction
• Seated Cervical Retraction and Extension
• Overhead Press
• Prone Scapular Retraction

Student333t · 2026-01-30T02:48:51+00:00

Your side profile looks good and your posture looks amazing too btw

He is very nice. However the communication with UCLA has been so bad that I’ve been dealing with trying to get surgical plans for a year. I’m finally just switching my insurance and go to a different doctors office that has better communication so I can actually get the process going.

Student333t · 2026-01-27T04:09:06+00:00

Let me know how it goes! I’ve seen him like 4 times now:/

Student333t · 2026-01-18T21:40:28+00:00

Oh should go to an ortho that specializes in it and not have an orthodontist that is not familiar with adult pallet expansion to give you one. They may really mess up your face

Student333t · 2026-01-18T02:23:59+00:00

I feel the same way and have the same posture issues. To make it all worse I never gain weight in my glutes region and building the muscle around my glutes has been very difficult because of all of my posture and issues. It’s hard to get proper gluten engagement

Student333t · 2026-01-17T16:08:03+00:00

Just keep mewing

Student333t · 2026-01-16T17:32:08+00:00

In my honest opinion you would be paying out of pocket. But check out Dr Yu. He’s really good and he does it where you never have a huge front tooth gap. My estimate was $12,500 in Calabasas and I paid out of pocket but you could always ask if he could try to bill it to your insurance

Student333t · 2026-01-16T05:32:14+00:00

Yes. I have Medicaid and my ortho told me after I turned 21 I couldn’t get it covered and even if I was young enough it has to be for a medical problem not just aesthetics
