Gail, thanks for giving us these examples of swallowing exercises. It helps me to understand the types of exercises that would target a specific group of muscles used in swallowing, and it also helps me understand the need to KEEP SWALLOWING through my upcoming radiation treatment so I don't have to spend the rest of my life making up for what I could have saved!
