Our work is based on reestablishing the patient's oral/written communication via individually programmed therapies. There is a large variety of innovative methods and materials used in treating these disorders including the latest techniques deriving from the application of new computer technology to speech therapy. We also have one of the most advanced systems of electromagnetic biofeedback called Remyocor 2.1™, which permits rehabilitation of facial muscle disorders (paresis, facial paralysis) complemented with intrabuccal and facial massage, which stimulates the orofacial organs (lips, tongue, jaw, soft palate, cheeks) of the neck and face.
