Voice Care Centre

Voice Care Centre Helping manage performers and improve complex voice disorders and medically unexplained symptoms MINDSET COACHING helps you slow down, focus and reassess.

The VOICE CARE CENTRE is not only the home of Vocal Massage in the West End, but is also London’s first multidisciplinary centre for REHABILITATING or MAINTAINING your voice. If you have never booked with us before then you may wish to book your INITIAL ASSESSMENT. In the initial assessment, you will be triaged among our brilliant team of holistic and medical voice practitioners who will tailor a

plan to get you to where you want to be. Each client can have up to EIGHT practitioners (including our voice specialist ENT surgeon) sharing information and forward planning back and forth. We are confident that nowhere else in the UK provides this kind of personalised, friendly and accountable service. The VOCAL MASSAGE treatments that we perform have become synonymous with the words “Pain Free”. Each Vocal Massage is as important to us as it is to you, with your safety and comfort the most important factor of the treatment. The Vocal Massage treatments we deliver in Central London are unique yet powerful, and all delivered by voice specialists who truly understand what it is to be a professional voice user. The (voice specialist) SPEECH THERAPY team are extremely effective at restoring function to your voice post surgery and can help alleviate the symptoms of complex voice diagnoses. This service is also used as part of our internal referral framework, helping restore function to the whole voice, not just the singing voice. This service is available as part of our AT HOME treatment plan. Your successful healing is inter-dependant on how clear your thoughts are, and whether you are attaching negativity to your work/ process. Usually one session can give you the tools by which to secure a healthier mindset towards your body and voice. VOCAL COACHING is a huge part of our multidisciplinary approach at the VOICE CARE CENTRE, and truly is an important missing link between therapy and normal function. Although our studio is separate to the clinic centre, notes will still be shared backwards and forwards from each practitioner, with your privacy and data fully protected by encrypted email servers and ‘2 factor authentication’. The Vocal Coaching appointments are made here:

VOCAL REHABILITATION is the final step between your surgery, speech therapy and your singing teacher. Each Vocal Rehabilitation booking is a block of 3 sessions which enable you to regain control and use your voice with minimal effort again. NUTRITION is a powerful missing link in the world of health and wellbeing which is often overlooked. This service can help tailor a nutritional or dietary programme to you, from a Voice Specialist Nutritionist who understands the demands of a singer. OSTEOPATHY has a long and important history with intervening with stubborn tensions, aches and pains and generally keeping your body running at an optimum. Our vocal osteopathy sees therapeutic intervention take place with the vocal, digestive and respiratory systems. OUR TEAM all possess specialist knowledge and qualifications within their treatment discipline, and are great listeners too. We know that the interaction of a treatment is just as important as the treatment itself, so we developed a process that helps boost the interaction you have with the therapist. At the VOICE CARE CENTRE, our personal touches to the treatment mean that people trust us, and come back time and again to help keep their instrument in good working order, and having been trusted by some of the West End’s biggest names, we are confident that we can help you get your voice to where you need your voice to be.

Our very own on the “What’s Up Docs” BBC podcast.

Public health messaging around voice problems is so important, and we’re so lucky to have such an excellent therapist and communicator on the team! 🧡

When it comes to reflux, (both the diagnosis and the treatment of the condition) there are lots of varying opinions- even amongst the top level gastroenterologists and ENT surgeons.

Should we take PPI’s? Well, the TOPPITS trial says that they don’t really work for throat symptoms.

Should we adjust our diet?

Should we wear loose clothing, prop up our pillows…?

I’ve been at conferences recently where we’re even challenging the very notion of LPR (or silent reflux) as a useful or effective term. Essentially does the label lead to better clinical outcomes?

I’ve co/authored two peer reviewed papers on reflux and co-written the reflux informed practitioner training with , so I’m well in the literature and thinking around this.

If you want to take part in the Reflux Informed Practitioner training, it’s online now- comment REFLUX and I’ll send you a link.

Have a great day,
Stephen

Holding a voice in my hands for

Hyoid bones don’t tend to fuse until later on in life… some studies suggest an average of 55 years old.

Here I’m holding the very bone that sat atop someone’s larynx years ago (who I’m told was an anatomy professor).

I love my collection of anatomy, to study and hold these gifts from the past is how we can think about improving our knowledge for the future.

Happy world voice day!

Moments which catch us unawares… for me today it was the bin.

Back when we had the clinic in Soho at 58 Broadwick Street, the Cleaner used the roll of clear plastic bags that were left as their home in the bottom of the bin. Today is the last bag.

for me, it’s a funny way to see the passing of time, and think of all of the patients and clients we saw come through that beautiful, black, glossy door.

We’ve just finished part 1 or The Guarded Larynx. Thank you to all the clinicians, teachers, therapists, clients and patients who attended. What an honour it is to share this work with you all.

It was so lovely to be back with too. It felt like “old times”!

Have a great evening,

Spot the throat clearing… unintentional but important. I don’t have ‘reflux’ etc. just had a black coffee and croissant. It’s chill. But, what if it developed into something that wasn’t so chill?

That’s essentially the premise of the Guarded Larynx… a protective or inhibitory mechanism that disallows free sensation and movement.

Come along to mine and seminar on our paper which is sending good ripples throughout clinical and pedagogical practise.

Touch, vocal massage, my new field of study in body psychotherapy, it all matters for the brain.

The brain is amazing, plastic and -in my experience at least - WANTS to update itself, find new ways and help us sing better. Sometimes things can get in the way of that, and we need to be kind to ourselves as we see what tangle we’ve got ourselves in to.

If you want to train in why not comment VOCAL and I can send you some more info.

Cheers,
Stephen 🧡

Rehabilitating your voice can be a tricky road to recover recovery

There are many reasons for this, mechanical reasons, psychological reasons, and sociological reasons. One of the ways I’d like to think about voice rehabilitation is as a road with potholes.

Even when the holes are filled, if you were used to driving around them to protect your car (guarding behaviour- see our upcoming seminar 😂) you will continue to do so, even though there is no ‘real’ threat anymore.

Rehab is about making things accessible, less jargonistic and I think we all have a part to play in finding ways people can better understand their journey back to vocal wellness.

Have a great day!

Guarding against persistent throat symptoms.

This is up and coming, and has such practical applications for either yourself or the singers/ voice users you work with.
