New ideas continually emerge to support well-being in the health and wellness field. One example is Spot Pal®, created by CEO Janine Stiene. It emphasizes the often-overlooked role of the tongue in overall health. Focusing on oral posture supports sleep, breathing, and core strength.
The concept behind Spot Pal® highlights the often-overlooked role of the tongue muscle, which goes beyond its functions in eating and speaking. Understanding the potential impact of tongue posture on overall well-being, Janine Stiene developed two products—Spot Pal® and Sport Pal—designed to help train the tongue for improved posture.
What is Spot Pal®?
Spot Pal® is a device designed to support proper tongue posture, which may help manage jaw and neck tension and TMJ disorder symptoms and promote nasal breathing as an alternative to techniques like mouth taping. Proper tongue positioning is also associated with potential benefits such as improved core stability, more precise articulation, and reduced snoring, contributing to better sleep and relaxation. This minor adjustment supports overall well-being by encouraging better breathing and muscle alignment.
The device can be customized to fit each person through a home impression kit or a 3D dental scan. One standout feature of Spot Pal® is the patented “Spot Dot,” which helps the tongue be aligned perfectly. The patented design enables users to benefit from cutting-edge tongue posture training innovation. It’s easy to use and provides lasting benefits for those who struggle with poor oral habits.
Sports Pal for Athletes
Sports Pal is part of the Spot Pal® family, designed with athletes in mind. It focuses on neuromuscular training to strengthen the connection between tongue posture and breathing. The device is designed to stay in place during activities like drinking water or speaking, making it practical during training. Its design allows athletes to use it comfortably, even during intense activities.
Filling a Gap in the Market
Janine Stiene noticed a significant gap in the market for products that target both tongue posture and nasal breathing. Many existing solutions don’t offer neuromuscular re-training or cater to people who wear clear aligners, and they are often too expensive for many people. Spot Pal® addresses these issues by providing a more affordable, accessible product that works for many people. It also emphasizes the importance of education about tongue posture and breathing habits, often overlooked in health discussions.
Holistic Health Benefits
What makes Spot Pal® different from other oral devices is its focus on improving overall health. As Janine Stiene explains, “Training the tongue goes beyond tongue posture. It can improve sleep, breathing, speech, and recovery and promote healthy growth.” This comprehensive approach distinguishes Spot Pal®, along with its unique design features intended to provide adequate support.
People who start using Spot Pal® will see gradual improvements over time. Using the device for about two hours a day for tongue training or to wear it overnight to prevent bad habits while sleeping is recommended. The benefits of using Sport Pal are immediate for athletes, helping them master nasal breathing and perform better during workouts or competitions. Janine Stiene says, “We train every muscle in our body but often forget the one that can truly change our performance.”
A Trusted Tool for Better Health
Spot Pal® has gained attention in both healthcare and consumer markets. Dentists and orthodontists often recommend it as a tool to complement their treatment plans, while parents and adults looking to improve their oral habits are drawn to its benefits. Through collaborations with healthcare professionals and practical marketing efforts, Spot Pal® is helping many people achieve better health outcomes.
As we continue to look for ways to improve our well-being, Spot Pal® stands out as a product that combines innovation with necessity. With its practical design, patented technology, and focus on inclusivity, it significantly impacts oral health and overall quality of life.
