KST A to Z
Gagging while eating, not gagging and not eating

About three weeks ago had an 18-year-old male who couldn't eat without having gag reflex. I used priorities and adjusted his larynx - the gagging resolved in one visit.
This Thursday morning, I had a mom bring her six-and-a-half-month-old baby that has been breastfeeding but hasn't swallowed any solid food when her mom has tried to feed her. Her mom said she could fill her mouth with food - no gagging, but the food would just run out her mouth.
I adjusted priorities and also adjusted hyoid lat. and A-P, her mom called back five hours later and said it "worked wonderfully".
