Vocal cords physiotherapy
*Physiotherapy
is teaching the patient’s body to heal itself by new movements and muscular
procedures. Our body has a tremendous capability of self-healing and since the
old times physical therapy has been able to heal many disorders by teaching the
right movements.*
*In
voice therapy, we do recognize physiotherapy as a great tool that can change
the outcome of a treatment between 10%-50%.*
*Vocal
cords are no exception, since most voice therapists give various techniques to
various cases it is an art as well as a science to choose the right muscular
corrective movements in order “to fix the engine” of voice.*
*Simply
put, the vocal cords should be closed ( close glottis) when we speak for them
to get hit with bursts of air and to move producing a sound wave ( our basic
voice!) in the air above them. Then, they should be open to give way for air to
come into the lungs (open glottis) usually in silence.*
