Meet Phil — Proof That Progress Is Possible at Any Age!
At 90 years old, Phil is showing us what determination, hope, and the right therapy can do. Phil lives with Parkinson’s Disease, a condition that can impact movement, speech, and swallowing.
When we first met him, he experienced significant facial asymmetry, a weakened vocal quality, fast and slurred speech, and challenges with safe swallowing.
With our personalized, multimodality speech therapy program— including Transcranial Photobiomodulation, Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES), and targeted oral–motor and voice exercises — Phil has made remarkable progress over just four months!
✔ Strengthened facial, oral, and laryngeal muscles
✔ Clearer, stronger voice
✔ Improved articulation and intonation
✔ Safer swallowing and reduced drooling
✔ Renewed confidence in daily communication
Watching Phil regain his strength and clarity has been nothing short of inspiring. His journey is a powerful reminder that with the right Parkinson’s Disease speech therapy, dedicated support, and evidence-based treatment, meaningful progress is absolutely possible.
At Embrace Your Speech, we believe in rehabilitating — not compensating.
And Phil is living proof. We are so proud of his progress! 👏
