Thank  you for the references!
Of course I knew that releasing a tongue would only  bring it closer to 
normal mobility, but it was the references that this mother  needed.


Hello all,
 Rereading the study again leads me to the same conclusion I had  before: 
this study doesn't specifically categorize "anterior vs posterior" or  "Type 
1-2 vs 3-4". So the local professionals I mentioned are not dissuaded  from 
their "hypermobility" fear regarding anything but the anterior releases. Is  
there a similar study's results that specifies that tongue motion and milk  
transfer and maternal comfort are improved post-posterior release? If there 
are  professionals not even willing to acknowledge the helpful potential of 
releasing  those visible, heart-shaped ones, this kind of study should 
hopefully make a  difference. Still, we need something more specific to the 
posterior ones.
 
Peace,
Judy
