Don’t miss this exclusive webinar with Dr Christine Sapienza who will be teaching about Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST/EMT), evidence, training protocols and application in clinical practice and beyond.

Title: The Role of Respiratory Muscle Strength Training in Airway, Voice, and Swallowing Rehabilitation

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe the basic principles of Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) and its role in rehabilitation.

2. Explain how expiratory muscle strength contributes to airway protection, voice function, and swallowing.

3. Discuss clinical applications of EMST for individuals with breathing, voice, and swallowing challenges

Speaker Bio: An internationally recognised scientist and clinician, Dr Sapienza has spent more than 30 years helping shape the science and clinical application of respiratory muscle strength training (RMST). Her pioneering work in expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) has had a major impact across airway protection, swallowing, cough and voice-respiratory control.

Who Should Attend: This webinar is designed for speech and language therapists and pathologists, physiotherapists, respiratory clinicians, ENT doctors, sports scientists, strength and conditioning coaches, and exercise physiologists with an interest in translating breathing science into practical intervention.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain the role of respiratory muscle strength in breathing, upper airway health, and obstructive sleep apnea.

• Identify appropriate candidates for Respiratory Muscle Strength Training (RMST) within a myofunctional therapy practice.

• Integrate RMST into an evidence-informed myofunctional therapy program to enhance clinical outcomes using a case study.

Who Should Attend:

This webinar is designed for speech and language therapists, physiotherapists, ENT and respiratory clinicians, sports scientists, strength and conditioning coaches, and exercise physiologists with an interest in translating breathing science into practical intervention.

Note: This webinar is scheduled for 5.30pm EST (USA), 10.30pm BST (UK)
