Laryngeal & Vocal Physiotherapy
The vocal folds/chords are housed within the larynx, which in turn is suspended by a complex network of muscles. Efficient mobility of the larynx is essential for mastery of ones voice. However, muscular tension can build up over time, secondary to high vocal workload, inefficient support patterns, vocal techniques/qualities and postural influences. These factors may create an environment that leads to restricted or maladaptive vocal fold movement which would present itself:
- Vocal Fatigue
- Pain when vocalising
- Loss of range or upper/lower register
- Breathy, gravelly and/or hoarse vocal quality
- Breaks or cracks in the voice
- Muscle Tension Dysphonia
- Pre-nodular oedema & nodules
- Globus (lump in the throat sensation)
ALL ABOUT YOU
The aim of laryngeal manual therapy is to improve vocal fold contact/ closure through an individualised comprehensive assessment of laryngeal mobility, voice quality, vocal range, muscle tension restrictions, spinal posture and jaw symmetry.All treatments are specifically tailored to meet your goals and vocal demand, from public speaking and presenting to the recording studio and live performance events.
This conservative treatment method can also be used to address symptoms of muscle tension dysphonia (MTD), pre nodular oedema and/or true vocal fold polyp’s & nodules and globus pharyngeus.
Enhancing recovery and working with injuries
Your therapist will ensure that you are provided with a summary of assessment findings and a treatment plan for moving forward.
Your singing teacher will also be informed of our assessment and plan, upon request. In some cases, a vocal pathology may be suspected or vocal rehabilitation may be required and in these cases, you can be confident that you will be referred to the appropriate specialist.
