What To Expect
Vocal Massage has an evidence based approach to the treatment. I don’t pound, grip or work muscles in the way of a normal massage. Instead, the muscles are met with gentle contact and minimal/light pressure.
We will talk through how you feel and I will explain some of the moves that I feel will be appropriate and try whichever you feel comfortable with.
This type of work is slow and should not inflict discomfort; if you feel any pain, we stop. The massage may explore external and internal (intraoral - in the mouth) and exclude any parts that you do not which to experience.
