Swallow Fit Training: Exercise Video to Strengthen Your Swallow

The Swallow Fit Training exercise video program is designed to keep the motivation going for those who have been diagnosed with dysphagia, or swallowing difficulties.  Each exercise is presented with a video partner and lively music to help keep you on track and inspired to complete your exercises.  The exercises included in the video were chosen for the research supporting their benefits to improving swallow function.  

The exercises include:

•      :  A jazzy introductory exercise to get your lips/tongue muscles ready for a workout!
  
•      :  Work on improving elevation of the hyolaryngeal complex, relaxation of the upper esophageal sphincter with a snappy acoustic guitar tune!
  
•      :  Work on tongue strength and movement with this toe-tapping Off Broadway piano piece!
  
•      :  Get the base of your tongue and pharyngeal walls moving with this exercise along with a soothing string ensemble.   
  
•     :  When we let go of our singing insecurities, we can actually improve the ability of our muscles to contact and achieve movement necessary for swallow function.  So let's sing out loud with a little help of an orchestra backup!
  
•      :  With a bit of a twist on the CTAR and some relaxing piano music, we will continue to work on improving the movement of muscles that lift the structures we use for safe swallowing.  
  
•    :  And for a finale that will make you proud, a challenging exercise to improve the how strongly your muscles contract during your swallow.
