Dear Denise,
I would try the same types of exercises and strategies you use for laryngeal
elevation including the Shakir exercises, mendelsohn, and pitch exercises.
When you see poor epiglottic inversion, it's the result of forces from
elevating and descending laryngeal structures. The epiglottis is not a static
force in and of itself. So you have to look at hyoid bone elevation,
elevation of the thyroid and cricoid cartilages and retraction of the tongue
base. Keeping an idea of what structures are malfunctioning help you to plan
treatment. Good Luck!
JoAnn
