Voice Therapy

Voice therapy is indicated for voice disorders and upper airway dysfunction (see below).  Voice disorders include difficulties such as a change in vocal clarity (hoarseness or raspy voice), loss of voice, or throat pain when speaking.  These symptoms are typically diagnosed by an otolaryngologist (ENT).  We provide individualized treatment plans of care to address voice disorders caused by aging, use-related injuries, benign lesions (nodules, polyps, cysts), excessive muscular tension, and neurological conditions.  We are skilled in providing pre-and post-operative voice therapy for all those who require surgery for treatment of their voice disorder. 

Voice therapy is also recommended for specific types of breathing difficulties. We specialize in upper airway retraining therapy for irritable larynx and exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (also commonly referred to as VCD or vocal cord dysfunction).
