Vital Functions
摘要
Therapy for the vital functions includes exercises for the face, tongue, breathing, and swallowing. Treating these areas is particularly important when facial weakness, swallowing, and respiratory difficulties are involved. You can do breathing and facial exercises anytime. Breathing exercises are particularly beneficial for active recuperation when a patient becomes fatigued from other activities and for relaxation if the patient is tense or in pain (Horst 2005).
