Vocal Physiotherapy is a specialised form of physiotherapy that focuses on the physical structures supporting your voice — including the spine, jaw, neck, and breathing mechanics — to restore efficient voice production and relieve strain.

Anyone who uses their voice frequently — such as singers, teachers, call-centre workers, or presenters — can benefit. It’s also effective for people experiencing voice loss, throat discomfort, or chronic coughing.

Your physiotherapist will assess posture, breathing patterns, jaw function, and muscle tension throughout the neck and upper body. Treatment may include manual therapy, soft tissue release, postural exercises, and home-based voice care strategies.

Yes. Following illness, vocal and breathing mechanics can be disrupted. Vocal Physiotherapy helps restore balance, reduce muscle tension, and support healthy vocal recovery.

Speech therapists work on vocal technique and sound production. Vocal Physiotherapy complements this by addressing the musculoskeletal causes — posture, tension, and alignment — that influence how your voice functions physically.

Some of the conditions that neurological rehab may help with include: Vascular disorders, such as a stroke, bleeding in the brain, or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) Infections, such as meningitis, encephalitis, polio, and brain abscesses. Trauma, such as brain and spinal cord injury.

Improved Mobility: Neurological physiotherapy aims to enhance mobility and functional abilities. Therapists utilise mobility exercises, gait training, and balance activities to improve strength, coordination, and balance, ultimately increasing independence in daily activities.

A physiotherapist treats general physical conditions and injuries. A neuro physiotherapist specialises in neurological conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. Neuro physiotherapists have additional training and expertise in neurological rehabilitation.
