Following evaluation, our speech language pathologists will develop individualized treatment plans for each patient’s specific needs. This includes: 

• Individualized exercise programs that target the specific swallowing muscles affected and improve swallowing safety and efficiency

• Education of individualized compensatory strategies and postural techniques (if applicable) to immediately improve safety and quality of life in the presence of physiological impairments

• Intensive therapy programs for patients with severe chronic dysphagia 

• Myofascial release (a form of manual therapy) for patients with fibrosis-related dysphagia (e.g., scar tissue post radiation to the head/neck), muscle tension dysphagia or dysphonia to restore motion to connective tissue
