Tongue-strengthening exercises can be extremely beneficial to help improve swallowing, particularly for those with dysphasia. With practice, the tongue strengthening exercises in this resource from Johns Hopkins may help increase tongue strength and mobility. This may in turn improve one’s ability to swallow, especially when used with other types of swallowing exercises. Check out this resource and be sure to consult with your speech-language pathologist: <div>
