If you’re coughing or choking on food or drinks, feeling like food is “stuck,” taking longer to finish meals, or experiencing recurrent chest infections, you may benefit from a professional swallowing assessment. Swallowing therapy can improve safety, reduce aspiration risk, and make mealtimes more enjoyable. Learn more about Swallowing Assessments & Therapy.
