Speech massage

When speech therapy massage is needed

The main purpose of this procedure–increase the tone of the muscles involved in the formation of the speech apparatus. This happens as a result of a violation of their blood supply with subsequent innervation, as a result of which the child cannot fully control the tongue, lips, and other muscles.

Manual or probe speech therapy will help in the following cases:

• In dysarthria, when speech is slurred, due to the inability to pronounce some sounds.
• With stuttering, especially in severe form.
• With dyslalia–Distortion or inability to pronounce individual sounds.
• With rhinolalia–violation of timbre and sound pronunciation due to defects of the speech apparatus.
• In cerebral palsy, affecting the muscles responsible for the formation of speech.

To get qualified help, you need to visit the diagnostic center, where the doctor will help determine the causes of speech disorders and refer to a specialist.
