GRASTON TECHNIQUE

This is a tool-assisted soft tissue treatment that can speed up the healing process and reduce pain.

MYOKINESTHETIC SYSTEM

Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES)

FEES is a portable procedure that utilizes the passage of an endoscope transnasally to visually evaluate the pharynx, and larynx/voice folds. This procedure is completed by Speech Language Pathologists with advanced training in this technique. FEES can be completed in a variety of settings including outpatient, inpatient, and home health settings. FEES has become popular as it requires no radiation exposure and is portable, unlike modified barium studies. FEES is used for diagnostic purposes but also provides specificity for SLPs to target treatments and track progress.
