Questions

Vocal manual therapy (VMT) should never hurt when carried out correctly. It is very gentle and the individual receiving the treatment dictates any slight pressure changes throughout the session. 

Everything will be done to make you feel relaxed. Our voices are very precious. When we sing, speak and perform for a living it can be very alarming when something doesn't feel quite right. That's why a session is uniquely tailored to the individual by someone who knows how they may be feeling; a fellow professional singer. This enables Vocal Manual Therapy to be administered with a high level of empathy, respect and understanding with any questions that you may have answered.

The ways by which VMT is administered is one or all of the following:

• Guided Self Vocal Manual Therapy if you feel anxious about someone else touching your head, neck and laryngeal area you can, to begin with, be shown adapted guided self vocal manual therapy techniques to apply in the mirror. You will also receive a detailed explanation about various muscles to demystify their location, function and action with anatomical pictures and diagrams.
• Seated Vocal Manual Therapy Best suited for Laryngeal manipulation.
• Supine Vocal Manual Therapy Lying on a comfortable, padded therapy table as you would for a massage. It is especially useful for VMT for head, neck and jaw muscle areas.
• Standing Vocal Manual therapy 

Singers are treated fully clothed, with a low or V-neck top advised.
