Effective treatments for Parkinson’s voice, speech and swallowing? We’re passionate about it!
Parkinson’s disease frequently affects swallow and cough function as well as voice and speech. There are many therapy approaches that may significantly improve your symptoms using proven therapy techniques.
One such opportunity to improve swallow, cough, and speech function is with EMST (Expiratory Muscle Strength Training). Simple and easy muscle strength training with the EMST150 device can provide patients with Parkinson’s an opportunity to slow the progression of these symptoms and enhance their present and future quality of life. It is the most clinically validated expiratory muscle strength trainer and has been proven effective in improving swallowing and cough functions of patients with Parkinson’s, reducing choking and aspiration risks.
