VOCAL MASSAGE
Vocal Massage, (also known as Laryngeal Manual Therapy), can help you achieve more comfortable and healthy voice production, improving and alleviating symptoms such as:
-
Reduced vocal projection or range
-
Restricted vocal performance
-
Hoarseness or breathy vocal tone
-
Throat constriction or pain
-
Vocal fatigue
If you use your voice for a living you may find benefit having regular vocal massage as a maintenance tool to ease niggles and keep your voice in top condition.
For professional performers, vocal massage is beneficial at the rehearsal stage, periodically between shows and performance dates, and following a tour to reduce the risk of vocal fatigue issues or injury. It helps to keep the voice supple and responsive, and in better health generally, reducing symptoms of vocal fatigue, improving vocal projection, extending vocal range, and enhancing vocal performance.
Sessions are based in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, or available for hire to on-site locations.
