Voices are complicated. They reflect us. Our lives and our stories. And sometimes they get tired. Sometimes they hurt. And sometimes they develop problems. Vocal massage is one way to help them recover - to either understand what's happening to the voice and begin to make changes in how you use it or perhaps to unload some of the gathered strain of using the voice and get ready to go again.
Together we will look for a touch that will set you on a path towards relief.
Work with one of London's leading voice practitioners to discover a path toward vocal freedom and relief.
Robert is an Advanced Clinical Massage Therapist registered with the British Performing Arts Medicine Association who works with the multi disciplinary team at the award winning Voice Care Centre.

Vocal Massage
There are several quite different approaches to vocal massage (or vocal manual therapy) on offer in London. My training was largely with Stephen King (not that one...another one) who's approach looks to work through a person centred approach using the best evidence available.
We don't believe that this kind of work should hurt. And we think that you are the expert in your own discomfort.
Employing soft tissue and myofascial techniques this is a pain free approach hoping to offer a profound connection to the issues presented through a dialogue with you.
Depending on your needs the work will look at the neck, jaw, tongue and larynx. This type of vocal massage is carried out fully clothed and will leave you unmarked and able to work soon afterwards.
