Swallowing exercises are activities designed to improve the strength and coordination of the muscles involved in swallowing. These exercises can help individuals who have difficulty swallowing, a condition known as dysphagia. They often include techniques such as practicing swallowing with different textures of food or using specific movements to enhance muscle function. These exercises may be recommended by a speech-language pathologist or a healthcare provider. Regular practice can lead to better swallowing safety and efficiency, reducing the risk of choking and aspiration. It is important to follow a tailored program to address individual needs and progress effectively.
