Treatments | Voice Physiotherapy New Zealand

Treatment Overview

Voice Physiotherapy

Voice Physiotherapy is for all voice users (that means you!). Professional, amateur, and anyone who uses their voice a lot or has voice issues.

This may include:

High vocal load (may include singers and performers, teachers, lawyers, receptionists, lecturers, and radio announcers.
Increased effort or tension with speaking/singing (vocal fatigue)
Pain in the front of your neck (this can include people with Globus Pharyngeus)
“Tongue root tension” in singing
Vocal quality issues- breathy, quiet, raw or horse sound
Diagnosed voice conditions e.g Muscle Tension Dysphonia
Return to voice use after vocal injury
Alongside other vocal treatments eg Speech-language therapy
Traumatic voice or neck injuries e.g. whiplash or sports injuries

Kristina works alongside Speech-language therapists, ENT's and Laryngologists, and can help send you to the right place if you're not sure who to see first. Even if there is nothing "wrong" with your voice, you can still book in for a "vocal tune-up" to make sure your voice is functioning as well as possible.

There is no need for a referral for Voice Physio treatment. All you need to do is get in touch.
