[DYSPHAGIA] neck isometric exercises

[AHorst9055@aol.com (AHorst9055@aol.com)]

Yes, I sometimes use pharyngeal isometric exercises as part of dysphagia 
treatment.  However not the way you described.  I don't "push" - only provide 
resistance -and the patient pushes.  It is difficult to say to what degree 
this exercise benefits the patient since it is just one of many exercises 
that the patient performs.
