Swallow Therapy

Swallowing is a complex process that involves the coordination of the muscles of the mouth, throat, and esophagus. When these muscles do not work together properly, it can lead to difficulty swallowing, or dysphagia. Dysphagia can be caused by a number of things, including stroke, head injury, surgery, and neurological disorders. It can also be caused by certain medications and by aging.

Swallow therapy, also known as dysphagia therapy, is a type of speech therapy that helps people who have difficulty swallowing. Swallow therapy can be an effective way to improve swallowing ability and quality of life for people with dysphagia.
