FaceFormer training with children – methods for successful therapy

In this video, Sabine Berndsen explains effective ways of carrying out FaceFormer therapy with children.

Even children have a mind of their own. This is why successful therapeutic work always requires suitable motivation. Exercise therapy usually takes centre stage when working with children.
