Swallow therapy for dysphagia includes exercises to help improve, strengthen, and coordinate muscles and nerves involved in swallowing. Such exercises include the shaker exercise, hyoid life maneuver, effortful swallow, and supraglottic swallow. Many of the exercises do not require food to swallow, but instead, help you exert control over your swallowing muscles without using your hands.
