Feeding and Swallowing Therapy

Feeding and swallowing therapy is a specialized treatment aimed at improving an individual's ability to eat and drink safely and effectively. It addresses difficulties such as trouble chewing, swallowing discomfort, or risk of choking, often caused by neurological or physical conditions. A trained therapist assesses the person’s swallowing function and designs personalized exercises and strategies to strengthen muscles, promote safer swallowing, and rebuild confidence during meals. This therapy can involve education, behavioral techniques, and adaptive tools to optimize nutrition, ensure safety, and enhance quality of life.
