What is Laryngeal Manual Therapy?

(with Dan Turnell)

 

LMT is a mixture of hands on manual therapy including soft tissue release to the muscles that can directly and indirectly affect larynx mobility, along with passive stretching to facilitate improved local biomechanics of the neck and larynx. This is combined with individually appropriate advice and exercise following a comprehensive assessment.

It is a treatment that benefits all heavy voice users:

  • Professional singers

  • Actors

  • Hobby performers

  • Media professionals

  • Teachers

  • Barristers

  • Sales people

Who will benefit from Vocal Massage?

This vocal therapy is not just for the professional singer but anyone who enjoys singing as a hobby, through to the professional who needs to talk a lot, in fact, anyone who is struggling with limiting changes to their voice.  

This treatment is effective for:

  • Muscle tension dysphonia

  • Pre-nodular swelling

  • True vocal fold nodules

  • Globus pharyngeus

These symptoms can present as:

  • Restricted vocal performance

  • Hoarse voice

  • Increased breathy tone

  • Throat pain

  • Loss of vocal range

  • Feeling of constriction

  • Vocal fatigue

  • Jaw pain
