swallowing interventions

Swallowing interventions are specialized techniques and strategies used by healthcare professionals to improve or restore a person’s ability to swallow safely and efficiently. These interventions can include exercises to strengthen throat muscles, modifications to food and liquid consistencies, and positioning techniques to reduce choking risk. They are tailored to each individual’s specific swallowing difficulties, often caused by conditions like stroke or neurological disorders. The goal is to prevent choking and aspiration, improve nutrition, and enhance quality of life by making swallowing safer and easier.
