This course explores the relationship between certain types of dysphagia and/or persistent coughing and myofascial structures of the anterior neck. Idiopathic dysphagia and/or persistent coughing can arise as a result of dysfunction in the myofascial structures of the anterior neck far more often than most clinicians realize.

1. Understand basic swallowing review
2. Discuss the latest fascial research
3. Differentiate dysphagia vs. persistent coughing
4. Apply simple, fast therapy techniques that can alleviate idiopathic dysphagia and/or persistent coughing in the clinical setting
