Swallowing exercises for head and neck patients Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can affect your eating and drinking in a number of ways. One of the biggest impacts is on the muscles you use for swallowing, and how well they work. Radiotherapy can make the muscles very tight and ‘woody’, and once this happens it can be very difficult to reverse. This may lead to long term swallowing problems and limit the texture and amount of food you can manage. The aim of these exercises is to keep your muscles moving throughout treatment, to maintain their strength and flexibility. The following exercises target the floor of mouth muscles, jaw muscles, the voice box and the base of tongue and throat muscles, all of which impact on the swallow sequence. We recommend you do a set of 10 repetitions of each exercise 3 times per day. It should take about 10 minutes to complete all the exercises. Go gently. You should feel a pull, but no pain. Take short breaks or sips of water in-between exercises if you need to. If there is any pain, stop. Carrying out some exercises shortly after taking your pain medications may help with this.
