Choking can happen so quickly and silently. Knowing how to give first aid to clear an obstruction is so important!

Today on World Parkinson’s Day, we want to shine a light on the people and families affected by Parkinson’s.

18,000 Australian’s are diagnosed with Parkinson’s each year. This doesn’t only impact the person with Parkinson’s, but their families and loved ones too.

Communication and swallowing are critical to maintaining meaningful relationships - having a coffee catch-up in a cafe, making a phone call and participating in the workforce. Every week in the clinic, we support people experiencing changes to swallowing, reduced voice strength and reduced speech clarity to improve their quality of life and live well with Parkinson’s.

Parkinson’s doesn’t need to dull the spark of someone you care for. There is help available and we’d love to help.

Get in touch at [email protected] or give us a call on 08 8472 6123 to get started with support for voice, swallowing and communication.
