You feel like food just won't go down. You have to eat very slowly and chew your food a lot, and sometimes that still isn't enough. It just feels stuck in your throat, and if you eat more, sometimes it will actually gag you because it just won't go down...
Maybe you've had esophageal dilation done, and maybe even multiple times, because the problem keeps coming back. Your esophagus is just not opening enough. Is this how you have to live the rest of your life?
What if there was a better way? What if exercising your throat muscles for just a few minutes, a few times per week, could help your esophagus open more and maintain it that way?
That's exactly what PhagiaFlex can do. It's highly effectlve and scientifically proven to strengthen the swallow and widen the UES during the swallow. The UES is the upper esophageal sphincter, which is the opening of the esophagus. Exercises with The PhagiaFlex Device can help the UES open more.
