Supervised swallowing exercises

Supervised swallowing exercises are guided activities aimed at improving a person's ability to swallow safely and effectively. Typically conducted by a speech-language pathologist, these exercises help strengthen the throat muscles and improve coordination during swallowing. Patients may practice techniques that enhance their swallowing reflex and reduce the risk of choking or aspiration. These sessions often involve tailored exercises based on individual needs, assessment of swallowing difficulties, and techniques for better food and liquid management. Overall, the goal is to restore or enhance swallowing function, ensuring safety and better quality of life.
