Swallowing and Feeding Disorders
Safe swallowing is essential for our health, and swallowing disorders may lead to significant health issues such as pneumonia, or simply the person eating less, becoming weak & frail. Swallowing can be improved with targeted therapy. Our clinicians can help improve:
Improved oral strength for chewing skills and clearing food from the mouth
Decreased tongue thrust of foods
Safe consumption of ALL textures & consistencies of foods and liquids
Improved swallow strength to decrease choking, coughing, & throat clearing during meals
Improved head/neck posture for safe intake
Improved confidence in meeting hydration & nutrition needs
