Individualized Vocal Treatment Programs

This might include exercise programs that can bulk up the vocal folds to achieve better closure, reduce laryngeal muscle tension, and/or reduce harmful vocal behaviors.
​
Typically, our patients can complete daily exercises and techniques at home with periodic follow-up in our clinic to monitor progress and/or adjust the plan of treatment as needed.
