Swallowing therapy — eat and drink safely again

Swallowing is essential to life — we help you do it safely and calmly again.

What is swallowing therapy for dysphagia and how does it improve swallowing?
What is swallowing therapy?

When every meal becomes a challenge

Eating and drinking are more than taking in food — they are social moments, pleasure, normality. Dysphagia after stroke, or in Parkinson’s, MS or other neurological conditions, turns exactly this into a daily challenge: choking, coughing, the feeling that food is stuck.

Our neurological swallowing therapy in Graz treats swallowing disorders in a focused, evidence-based way — with functional exercises, stimulation techniques and practical compensation strategies. Dysphagia therapy protects your health and gives you back the pleasure of eating.

“When a client has breakfast with the family again without a worry — that is one of our finest moments.”
What you gain

Swallowing disorders have far-reaching consequences — for nutrition, health and quality of life. Every improvement counts.

Eating becomes safe again

Dysphagia training improves swallowing and reduces the risk of choking on solid food and on liquids.

You eat calmly again

The fear of choking eases — meals become what they should be again: a pleasant moment.

Your health is better protected

Who is this therapy for?

Does this sound familiar?

Swallowing problems can have many causes — with us they are always treated with neurological expertise.

If after a stroke you cough while eating, choke or feel that food is sticking in your throat — swallowing therapy is strongly recommended and very effective.

If Parkinson’s slows swallowing, weakens the muscles or makes swallowing tablets a challenge — dysphagia training improves swallowing specifically.

If you or your family are worried that too little is being eaten, that weight is falling or that there is frequent coughing at meals — come to us. Early treatment protects against complications.

Frequently asked questions

What you want to know

The key answers at a glance — so you arrive well prepared.

What are typical signs of swallowing problems?▾
Choking on food or drink, coughing during a meal, the feeling that food is stuck, or pain when swallowing can all point to dysphagia.
Does swallowing therapy make sense with PEG feeding?▾
Yes — even with artificial feeding through a PEG tube, swallowing therapy can help preserve or improve swallowing and work towards a return to eating by mouth.
How dangerous are swallowing problems?▾
Swallowing problems can lead to aspiration pneumonia — when food or liquid enters the lungs. That is why early, specialist treatment matters so much.
How long does swallowing therapy take?▾
The length depends on the severity and on the underlying condition. After the initial assessment we draw up a realistic therapy plan with clear goals.
