Voice disorders
Our team of experienced speech therapists is well-versed in the assessment and treatment of voice disorders, and we work closely with each individual to create a personalized treatment plan that meets their unique needs. We use evidence-based approaches to therapy and incorporate a holistic approach to care that focuses on the individual’s overall well-being.
Common voice disorders we treat include hoarseness, vocal nodules, polyps, vocal cord paralysis, and vocal tremors. We work with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, including singers, actors, public speakers, and anyone who relies on their voice as an essential tool for communication.
During therapy sessions, our speech therapists use a variety of techniques to help improve voice quality and eliminate vocal strain. We may use exercises to improve breathing and vocal cord function, as well as strategies to reduce tension and promote relaxation. We also offer guidance on proper vocal hygiene and vocal warm-up exercises.
