@ SunnyDaze,

Well I read in a bit on the IQuro, It is actually used as treatment for several upper GI-tract related issues and it seems the theory behind is solid.

On the other hand, the evidence behind actual symptoms / complaints resolution seems be less solid. Which doesn't necessarily need to mean something. Could be that the way of testing wasn't efficient..

Please do take in account that, with using an "unnatural" treatment method like this, there is always the option it might solve on complaint but cause another.

Just thinking out loud here, so no foundation behind these thoughts here, but for example it could have a (negative / positive) effect on your salive production / quality, which could have an effect on your dental-health. I am not saying it will but it could.

What I mean with "unnatural" is that the muscles in your peri-oral facial structure (said this way, to not define the specific muscles involved) were not evolved with the intension to be pulled on from the outside. So even if you have muscle aches in the same muscles, it doesn't mean it traines these muscles in the way that it will actually result in strengthning the muscles in the way you use them in your embouchure. I am not saying that it won't either, just saying you can't conclude one from the other.

I can only advice to read in to some objective scientific research on the iQuro topic. Don't believe into the commercials, all they wish to do is sell their (over-priced ofcourse!) product.

Kind greats

Matthieu
