Strengthen the anterior and posterior tongue to improve swallowing Designed for adults but may be used in pediatrics Can be sent home with the patient for additional practice TonguePRESS is a clinically developed therapy tool for strengthening the tongue for improved swallowing. The new design allows for exercising the anterior tongue and the posterior tongue. TonguePRESS is developed to complement the IOPI by offering a home exercise unit for tongue pressing and is based on research (Robbins et al.) supporting the use of tongue press to increase swallowing pressures and tongue strength. TonguePRESS incorporates the principles of exercise and resistance training for improved swallowing abilities. Prior to use, the device must be filled with water and adjusted by loosening or tightening the valve. The water-filled bulb is placed on the tongue and pressed against the hard palate. The greater the client presses, the higher the indicator rises. The exercise recommendation is 30 presses three times daily for adults with frequency and duration modified by the attending clinician. This product should be purchased with the consent of the attending healthcare provider.

My therapist/pathologist highly recommended this tool to strengthen my tongue strength/swallowing issues. When I saw the price for what first struck me as a toy - I was so wrong. Took it to a therapy session, was instructed on how to use - recommended exercises, etc. After 1 week of diligent adherence to the exercise routine - I was shocked on the rapid recovery and improvement of being able to swallow most all foods with no issues vs. a week earlier was smoothies and liquids only.

It's a device that's affordable and can be used at home when you don't have access to the fancy devices at the speech therapist's office. Its not exactly the same as what they have there, but it's comfortable and easy to use.
