Vocal Cord Physiotherapy

If you've ever been hurt in an accident; had a sports injury; or have been recovering from surgery, you know the essential value of physical therapy.

What about a damaged voice? Many professionals are finding that incorrect use of their voice is leading to sore throat, a raspy voice, or total loss of the voice. More and more corporations, teachers and salespeople are learning the value of vocal cord physiotherapy to overcome the ravages of vocal damage.

In order to heal the voice, you've got to unlearn bad vocal habits, and train the voice so that further damage won't occur. Once you are speaking or singing correctly, the voice can heal and regain strength and clarity.

Early in my career I healed my vocal nodules by retraining my voice! Simple as that - no surgery, just correcting the damaging vocal habits I had been taught by an incorrect singing method. If you want to learn more about my vocal recovery, read 'My Story'.

Take care of your voice by learning healthy voice production! By simply doing 10 minutes of vocal exercises a day you can be on your way to vocal health, no matter what your profession! My Joyful Singing - Seven Principles for Vocal Mastery series is a great first step.

Here's to healthy singing/speaking!
