Keep mealtimes safe for your loved ones with Swallowing Therapy

Do you or your loved one have any symptoms, such as difficulty chewing solid foods, having residue in mouth after swallowing, feeling of food being stuck, or experiencing coughing, choking, and gagging?

Swallowing requires a series of coordinated actions from a multitude of muscles and nerves. Individuals with neurological conditions such as Cerebral Palsy and Stroke often experience difficulty swallowing, known as Dysphagia. It can range from excess saliva production to choking while eating, including aspiration pneumonia.

At Plexus, our highly trained therapists offer both children and adults the best Swallowing Therapy program in Bangalore and Hyderabad. We work closely to increase their control of oral intake safety by lowering risk of aspiration and maintaining quality of life. Our team thoroughly understands their needs and tracks progress to improve swallowing skills with each session.

We employ a variety of advanced techniques to increase their mobility, timing, coordination, and muscle strength, including:

Dietary changes

Swallowing troubles in adults can arise from neurological conditions such as Stroke and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). With Swallowing Therapy, patients can increase comfort and confidence while eating and drinking, ability to consume less restricted food textures, and improved safety (reducing or eliminating the risk of aspiration).

Whereas, children can face difficulty with feeding and swallowing due to oral motor-based weakness, sensory issues, increased tone, and uncoordinated breathing. Swallow Therapy utilizes a variety of techniques, including positioning, myofascial release, oral sensory motor exercises, mealtime strategies, and progression of food textures. This helps to develop the ability to consume a variety of foods safely and with ease.

Over time, consistent rehabilitation enables the patient to:

Control and manage pain levels

Acquire self-sufficiency with daily tasks like eating, bathing, or dressing

Move around independently

Improve their social interaction skills

Participate in education and learning activities

Manage any associated health conditions

Become confident and self-reliant

What our patients say

Kirti Johar (name changed)

“My sister was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease one year ago. Her primary concern was difficulty in eating, and she also had difficulty in speaking due to which her speech was unclear. We came to Plexus to look for a solution for her chewing and swallowing troubles. Here, she underwent Swallowing Therapy sessions. After two weeks, we saw that the strength of her oral structures had improved, she was able to speak clearly, and her swallowing too became less effortful.”

"My mother is suffering from Motor Neuron Disease which affected her speech and swallowing ability. I was looking for help when I came across Plexus Neuro Centre. Here she underwent speech therapy and swallowing therapy under the guidance of Dr Na'eem Sadiq. The speech therapist did an excellent job due to which my mom's speech became clearer and she also started chewing food. She also gave us a lot of home exercises and tips to prevent choking while eating. Now she is able to swallow soft food easily. A big thanks to the Plexus team for helping us out."
