swallowing therapy
Swallowing therapy is a specialized treatment designed to help individuals who have difficulty swallowing, a condition known as dysphagia. This therapy often involves exercises and techniques to strengthen the muscles involved in swallowing, improve coordination, and enhance overall swallowing safety.
Therapists may use various methods, including swallowing exercises, diet modifications, and postural adjustments to assist patients. The goal is to enable individuals to eat and drink more comfortably and safely, reducing the risk of choking or aspiration, which can lead to serious health complications.
