What are lip closure exercises?
To improve swallowing, the lip-closure exercise is used. They are used for dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). These exercises may improve lip strength and mobility over the course of time. This may increase the ability of the person to swallow. These exercises may also be used in combination with other types. Before you swallow your food, you need to ensure that the size, shape and texture of your food can be swallowed. This material travels through your mouth to the parts of your throat known as the pharynx, larynx, and pharynx. The liquid or food travels from here through a long tube called the esophagus before entering your stomach. This movement requires several actions from the muscles located in these areas. The muscles weakness in these areas can make swallowing difficult. An SLP (speech-language pathologist) might recommend specific swallowing exercises to help improve your swallowing. These exercises may help to increase strength, mobility, and control. Thi
