What is Laryngeal Massage?

Laryngeal massage, or voice massage, adapts the concept of sports massage to the vocal apparatus. Given the intensity of singing, voice acting, and professional speaking, athletes of the voice experience many of the same things that sports athletes do.

For this reason, vocal athletes experience tension, tightness, and discomfort in their voices and respond extremely well to expert laryngeal massage. This method alleviates tension in the larynx, aiding in the return of mobility, dexterity, and functionality.

Center for Vocal Health integrates fundamental massage techniques with a medical approach, utilizing myofascial release, manual adjustment, and massage. The vocal system encompasses not only the laryngeal muscles but also the muscles in the neck, chest, back, and abdomen. As a result, any of these muscles and their associated ligaments might necessitate manual therapy to mitigate tension and alleviate discomfort.
