Abstract

VoiceRelease is a progressively structured treatment system that aims to release the voice through muscle tension reduction by manual therapy, thereby facilitating healthy voice production. The VoiceRelease treatment should closely interact with functional voice training and should therefore be carried out by the speech-language therapist (SLT). The aim of this paper is not to present the treatment in detail, but to describe the benefits of using the techniques in the voice clinic and to argue that laryngeal manual therapy complements the skills of the SLT and that it in a natural and integrated way applies to the treatment of voice problems. In order to comply with the present skills of the SLT, VoiceRelease is progressively structured in four levels.
