🗣️Vocal Health: Preventing misuse & abuse

Your vocal cords put in a lot of effort every day, whether you sing, speak professionally, or simply interact with friends.

🔑 Vocal Hygiene Tips:

- Keep your vocal cords lubricated by drinking plenty of water!

- Limit caffeine intake.

- Avoid eating too much spicy food.

- Give your vocal cords time to rest and recover.

- Try sipping water/ swallowing instead of constant throat clearing.

If you notice persistent hoarseness, pain, or discomfort, it’s time to check in with a speech therapist. Early intervention can prevent long-term damage. 💡

🧠 Stroke week is here! 🧠

Stroke Week serves as a critical reminder of the importance of awareness, timely intervention, and recovery support. By educating ourselves and our communities about the risks and symptoms of strokes, we can empower individuals to act swiftly in emergencies, promote healthier lifestyles, and understand the significance of rehabilitation services such as speech therapy.

What you can do:

- Learn the Signs: Recognizing a stroke is the first step in gaining control.
- Spread Awareness: Talk to friends and family about stroke risks and symptoms.

📣 Speech Therapy Matters! 📣

If you or a loved one are recovering from a stroke, don’t navigate the journey alone. With specialized programs tailored to your needs, we can help regain your communication skills and improve cognitive functions, supporting you every step of the way.

Every minute counts in a stroke emergency! Knowing the signs and symptoms can save a life. Remember the acronym “FAST”- Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call emergency services. 🚨
