Walt Fritz, PT, has been a leader in providing education in manual therapy in speech-language pathology, voice intervention, laryngeal disorders, breathing disorders, oral motor dysfunction, and related communities. Unlike historically more aggressive or tissue-based approaches, which view problems as the result of a single tissue or behavioral fault, Walt’s blended views allow newer models that point to multifactorial causes and effects. This model requires adaptation by most new practitioners, as lowering our view as the “expert” and elevating patient perspectives is not an easy task. However, a shared decision-making approach results in patient/client empowerment and boosts outcomes.
Walt has taught thousands of speech-language pathologists, vocal coaches, registered dental hygienists, massage therapists, physical therapists/physiotherapists, occupational therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, and ENTs his work through workshops worldwide. Casting such a wide net has added value to a range of rehabilitation settings and performance interventions, including positive results with world-renowned performers. Walt makes his information available through live hands-on seminars, online courses, many podcasts, videos, and articles, and his book, Manual Therapy in Voice and Swallowing: A Person Centered-Approach (Compton Publishing LTD.). He is also a contributing author for The Oxford Handbook of Voice Pedagogy, which will be published by Oxford University Press in 2024.
He holds a BS in Physical Therapy and a BA in Community Mental health, both through the University of Buffalo (NY), and is currently an MA Candidate at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UK). He sees patients through his Upstate New York practice for voice/swallowing-related problems and more general concerns.
