The system and method. The systems and methods resist movement of both posterior airway open. The systems and methods employing first, second and third structures. The first structure is sized and configured for placement in or on a language. The second structure is sized and configured for placement in or on a region of a soft palate or uvula.The third structure is sized and configured for placement in or on tissue in a desired relationship prior to the first esegunda structures. The first and second structures include each a ferromagnetic material.The third structure includes a magnetic material magnetically interacts with both the first and second ferromagnetic materials by the attraction of both first and second ferromagnetic materials, resisting, in this way, the movement of both the posterior tongue and soft palate \/ \u00f9vula.
