To perform the Masako Maneuver, follow these steps:
Sit upright in a comfortable position. Protrude your tongue slightly and hold it gently between your teeth. Attempt to swallow with your tongue in this position. Repeat the exercise as recommended by your healthcare provider.
It's crucial to perform this exercise under the guidance of a trained speech-language pathologist or a healthcare provider experienced in managing dysphagia, especially in cancer patients.
