Spectramed® and The Guardian Way® Dysphagia Therapy

The Guardian Way®

Driven by Passion and Innovation

Developed by expert speech-language pathologists, The Guardian Way® is a fundamentally different approach for the treatment of dysphagia. The Guardian Way® uses neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and surface electromyography (sEMG) to promote improved strength, timing and reeducation of swallowing. Electrodes can also be placed on the face to treat oral dysphagia and facial paralysis.

Here's what your peers are saying about our revolutionary protocol, training, and innovative NMES device for the treatment of dysphagia.

"In any electrical stimulation protocol we have to be aware of the anatomical structures and physiological process as well as the patient’s safety. Throughout my doctoral studies I had the opportunities to study The Guardian Way® approach to neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and found great results in my research...outcome data was collected and showed that the program was producing tremendous outcomes according to the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association (ASHA) National Outcomes Measurement System (NOMS). I would recommend The Guardian Way® approach from a clinical standpoint, safety standpoint, evidenced based standpoint and from an operational/cost standpoint."

Dr. David T. Hutchings, CCC-SLP.D

Director of Speech-Language Pathology

"The interactive Guardian training course was engaging, and with questions and concerns being encouraged, it took the pressure off so I never felt overwhelmed by the new information. I left the course feeling confident and I have reached out to Lindsay, the course instructor, many times since being certified. I know I can always follow up with any questions I might have, which is comforting and helps me give my best treatment to my patients! Thank you!”

Lauren, SLP in SNF/rehab setting

"I purchased the Aspire2 and find it very helpful for my patients with significant dysphagia. The support I get from the Spectramed team even years after purchasing my device has been awesome. The Guardian Way training is practical and easy to implement for the treating SLP. It has helped me understand the science of NMES and allows me to help my patients understand the benefits. I have recommended the device and the training to colleagues of mine over the other devices and trainings on the market."

Kristy, MS, CCC-SLP

“...This was, by far, the most engaging, informative, and clinically relevant continuing education course I have attended. I would encourage anyone who is researching using NMES for the treatment of dysphagia to thoroughly investigate The Guardian Way® protocol and the Guardian® stimulator. The course presented a large amount of research-based information supporting The Guardian Way® protocol. They were not there to promote a product, they were there to promote a way of providing better, safer, and financially feasible dysphagia therapy to my patients. The goal of the Guardian Way® was more about providing patients with dysphagia quality, research-based interventions, and not on monetary gain.”
