Myrlène Fortin – Myofunctional & Massage Therapist Specializing in TMD and Orofacial Pain
Founder of @myrlene_tmj_method
Myrlène Fortin is a trained Myofunctional Therapist and certified Massage Therapist, Kinesitherapist, and Orthotherapist with a focus on jaw pain, TMJ disorder, teeth clenching, orofacial muscle imbalances, tongue ties, and airway-focused care.
After years of struggling with chronic TMJ symptoms and finding little success with conventional treatments, Myrlène took matters into her own hands and successfully recovered. What she later realized was that many of the strategies she used to get better were, in fact, rooted in the principles of myofunctional therapy. That’s when she decided to formally add this training to her certifications.
Today, she supports others on their own journey through virtual, one-on-one sessions and online resources—making functional recovery more accessible than ever. With a growing community of over 40,000 people on Instagram, Myrlène shares simple, evidence-informed strategies to relieve tension, improve posture and breathing, and restore the normal functions of the muscles of the mouth and face.
