What Is Dysphagia?

Dysphagia is difficulty with chewing, feeding or swallowing that can occur after a stroke, head injury, surgery, cancer treatment or as part of a progressive neurological condition. Left unaddressed, it can lead to poor nutrition, dehydration, chest infections and reduced quality of life. Our swallowing intervention programme is designed to make eating and drinking safer and more comfortable again.

How We Help

• Detailed clinical swallow assessment to identify the cause and severity of difficulty
• Individualised feeding and swallowing exercise programmes
• Guidance on safe food and liquid textures for the home
• Positioning and technique training for caregivers
• Ongoing progress monitoring and re-assessment

Who Should Consider This Therapy

This programme is suitable for stroke survivors, patients recovering from head and neck cancer treatment, individuals with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, and elderly patients experiencing age-related swallowing changes. If you or a loved one is coughing during meals, avoiding certain foods, or losing weight unexpectedly, an assessment is strongly recommended.
