Simple pleasures,...
I would appreciate any information that would help a stroke victim recover the ability to swallow food. As yet I do not know the exact rating of the disability--let us assume it is a 3 out of 5 with a risk of the "food going down the wrong pipe." It happened six weeks ago. Has anyone experience in these matters or has read of treatments methods or excercises? I am new to yoga and go to a yoga center. |

Dear Milkthistle,
I have no experience working with this condition, but have a friend who does Cranial-Sacral work at a Stroke Rehab center for this condition. The massage includes work done in the mouth. Please feel free to post this question to Mukunda, a Structural Yoga Therapist. Namaste, Chandra |
