Glad he appears to.be doing better - the tightness in my throat is still there but I am only 5 weeks post radiation however I am eating and swallowing ok. I do yawn it helps with the muscles - neck exercises.

1, sitting upright in a chair and staring straight ahead tilt your head forward (towards your chest) as far as it can go. Do this 10 times twice daily.
Then in the same starting position tilt you hear back as far as it can go. 10 times twice daily.

2. Same starting position - turn yor head to the left as far as it can go - do this 10 tomes twice daily. Then do the same on the opposite side.

3. Same starting position. Reach hand up rest it on the top of your head then gentlly lower your ear towards your shoulder (the weight of the hand helps the stretch) then hold for 15 second. Do this 3 times. Then change sides.

This should also be done twice a day.

Finally to help with swallowing take your tongue press the tip up int the roof of your mouth then swallow - 5 times - do this often throughout the day.

This is all they gave me for the neck for now. I do have some arm and shoulder exercises - ive been given if you need them.

Good luck!!
