Stretches for Voice Therapy

Always consult a speech pathologist if you struggle with your voice. Complete laryngeal stretches and massage under the guidance of a professional.

This week's video is about how we can use neck massage and stretching to improve the voice and communication. There are many muscles inside the throat that affect how your voice sounds. Along with a comprehensive voice program, you can improve the way you sound when talking and singing.

I was actually pretty hoarse and I have a live virtual event tomorrow and this helped me so much. This along with tea and honey is perfect. Thank you!!!

That first stretch or exercise you do, the “hook” coming down the side of the neck: I’ve found that really helps with clearing pressure in the ears, specifically on an airplane if you’re congested and having ear pressure. Does that make sense? I kinda figured this out by my own desperate trial and error when I’ve had a lot of pain on landing.

After the first usage of this I can feel a little bit of relaxation.

Thank you for this video. I am in really bad shape. I'm a hard rock singer with acid reflux. I will definitely try these. I have been to a speech therapist, but my problem is so persistent, I really need to be going every day. This clearly does not work with my work schedule, so this video is helping to add to my therapy. My main symptom is pain, rather than hoarseness.

I suffer from night bruxism, so clench my jaw during the sleep and then I feel that area fatigued in the morning... this might be useful for relieving the stress. Thank you!

I had a similar session today, but the therapist insisted that tenderness is good. Is getting very sore during and after the massage normal or should this be approached more gently?

I get a strange tightness around my clavicle area then I start to gag, this happens after doing physical labor and trying to talk to people .

[joejoejoejoejoejoej]

I was searching for a fix for a weak croaky voice .
And the first thing I see is this beautiful woman !!!
Great exercises
But isn’t there a pressure point at the rear of the neck as well x

Doctor, I am Moroccan and I cannot understand you. Please help me. I am 16 years old and I have a problem of immaturity of the voice, what is the solution please

[genettiadean]

Hello. When I run long distance I become hoarse. Do you consult virtual?

[certifiedrhodess]

Honestly how does this help with pain only while talking?? For an issue over a year that hasn’t gone away

[Greenangel]

Everytime I do the muscle down my left side of neck I cough till i get sick but not on my right side. Amy clues?

[yogurtnsprinklez]

I am a Speech-Pathologist (new grad). This video demonstration is wonderful; however I would feel more comfortable if I could take a more in-depth training on laryngeal massage before trying it with a patient. Any recommendations on CEUs for this?

[kronosthewarrior]

It feels amazing on the throat it’s like I’m getting a massage lol

[azekel]

Now I love to sing ever since I was a kid but most of the song I like requires higher pitched voice and sometimes I strain.

[chadbierman]

Thanks so much! Needed this for years for real!
