Vocal Physiotherapy
What is Vocal Physiotherapy?
Vocal physiotherapy, also known as vocal unloading is a manual therapy treatment intervention that aims to address factors that can impact your vocal quality.
Why Pick Us For Your Vocal Care?
Renee has been supporting professional artists in industry environments for over 16 years. She has worked backstage with some of the best international and national artists—where vocal load is high and recovery windows are limited. Treatment is shaped individually in a deeply practical approach. Focus is on long-term career sustainability and referral to a network of voice professionals is easy accessible through this clinic.
Who is suited to vocal unloading?
Vocal unloading is suitable for anyone suffering voice-related symptoms or those undertaking high vocal loads like singers, actors, teachers, call centre attendants, sports coaches, presenters, and barristers. We also treat conditions that can affect the voice such as chemotherapy treatment and Parkinson’s Disease. Vocal physiotherapy assists with recovery after surgery on structures including the vocal folds, esophagus and the larynx.

Treatment
Treatment is specifically tailored to meet your vocal demands and goals. Your physiotherapy management plan will likely involve a period of vocal rest or reduced vocal load. You may be encouraged to modify your vocal behaviour, or use alternative communication methods. An example of this is using a microphone for support, rather than projecting your voice. In addition to resting the voice, we also address underlying factors contributing to vocal fatigue or injury.
A multidisciplinary team approach is common, often involving Ear, Nose, and Throat surgeons, speech therapists, voice coaches, and singing teachers. With over 16 years of experience treating professional singers, Artistic Sports Physiotherapy has an established referral base of ENTs and speech therapists for you to access. We are also proud to team up with Vocal Adrenaline. For those who want to learn vocal technique or correct bad singing habits, go to the best vocal studio on the Gold Coast – Vocal Adrenaline.
