Nexen Healthcare proudly presents a proficient team of seasoned speech-language pathologists dedicated to addressing a spectrum of issues related to the swallowing process. From difficulties with foods, liquids, and medications to challenges with saliva management, our expert providers are committed to delivering comprehensive care and treatment for individuals experiencing swallowing disorders.
Swallow therapy, or dysphagia therapy, is a specialised rehabilitation addressing difficulties in swallowing. Dysphagia poses challenges with foods, liquids, medications, or saliva intake. Conducted by speech-language pathologists, it involves tailored exercises targeting muscle strength, coordination, and efficient swallowing. Goals include improving muscle function, coordination, optimising posture, suggesting dietary modifications, and utilising advanced techniques like biofeedback. Respiratory training and trismus therapy may also be incorporated. Frequency and duration vary based on the severity of dysphagia, with patients encouraged to practise exercises at home. The aim is to enhance safe eating, drinking, and swallowing for improved quality of life.
Following a thorough evaluation and diagnosis of your swallowing disorder, our skilled speech pathologists at Nexen Healthcare embark on a personalised care journey to improve your swallowing capabilities. This comprehensive plan may involve dietary modifications, head posture implementation, and a tailored outpatient swallowing therapy program.
