Speech and language therapy using ENMOT electrostimulation
What is ENMOT therapy?
Electro-neuro-mobilisation of the neuromuscular system (ENMOT) is a modern method that supports speech and language therapy, used to improve the functioning of the facial, oral and pharyngeal muscles.
It involves the use of gentle electrostimulation, which helps to activate and strengthen the muscles responsible for speech, swallowing and other functions of the articulatory system.
ENMOT complements traditional speech and language therapy and can help patients make faster and more effective progress.

ENMOT, or electro-neuro-mobilisation of the facial area, is a modern and safe stimulation method used to support speech and language therapy.
It is used with children who have a range of difficulties relating to orofacial functions, including:
- difficulty swallowing
- articulation disorders
- reduced symmetry and facial muscle function
- dysarthric difficulties
- excessive salivation
- reduced muscle tone
It can also be used as a form of support for difficulties arising from past injuries or neurological conditions.
Who is myofunctional therapy for?
It is particularly useful for people with rare genetic syndromes (e.g. SMA, SLA, DMD, SCA, Moebius syndrome, Charge syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome), as well as for people with cleft palates, MPDz and muscle tone disorders.
What does it help with?
Electro-neuromobilisation is also used for children with difficulties relating to pronunciation and oral motor function. It is particularly helpful for children who:
• breathe through their mouths•
find it difficult to position their tongue correctly at
rest• experience difficulty when swallowing and speaking
The benefits of ENMOT therapy may include:
• improved muscle control in the face and neck, resulting in clearer
speech• support for
swallowing function• increased strength and range of motion in the muscles targeted by the therapy
The Pick & Up Scheme
We’ll bring your child to and from nursery.
The carer takes them to their therapy session and brings them back, all within the nursery’s opening hours. This
means the therapy fits into a day that’s already planned,
so you don’t have to take time off work or organise your afternoon around travel arrangements.

Speech prosody in autism – what it is and how it affects communication
Speech is not just about words and a rich vocabulary, but also about the way we say them. The pace, intonation, stress, rhythm and modulation of our voice enable the listener to understand our intentions and emotions. This is precisely the area that prosody deals with. In the context of neurodiversity, such as autism, this […]
