PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the feasibility and safety of manual therapy for treatment of fibrosis-related dysphagia in head and neck cancer survivors. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I.To estimate effect size, dose-response (number of treatment sessions to normalized cervical range of motion), and durability of manual therapy for improving cervical range of motion in head and neck cancer survivors with fibrosis-related late dysphagia. II. To examine functional outcomes after manual therapy in head and neck cancer survivors with fibrosis-related late effects and their association with change in dysphagia grade, cervical extension, and other cofactors. OUTLINE: Participants receive 10 manual therapy sessions performed by a speech pathologist during weeks 1-6. After completion of 6 weeks of therapy, participants perform manual therapy at home daily for 6 weeks.
