Vocal rehabilitation
"Vocal rehabilitation combines art and science, so a good therapist should be a scientific artist." - Joseph Stemple
Are you suffering from dysphonia or recurrent aphonia? Has the quality of your voice worsened and not returned to normal? Do you get tired of talking or sing and end the day badly, with discomfort or a sore throat? Have you been to an otolaryngologist, do you already have a diagnosis and do you need to undergo speech therapy?
My goals in vocal rehabilitation
May your voice be functional and useful in your work and personal life. That we solve the vocal pathology (if there is no such possibility, that we improve it and/or compensate it as much as possible).
If you are going to undergo surgery.
Give you the tools you need to be able to maintain your vocal health over time without relapse.

When is vocal rehabilitation necessary?
It is considered that there is a voice disorder when there is an alteration in the pitch, timbre, intensity or flexibility of the voice.
In these cases, a phoniatric rehabilitation will be indicated, whether you are a voice professional or not so vocally demanding.
Go to a Speech Therapist Specialist in Voice if you want to put yourself in the right hands and really know how to treat your case with the professionalism and success you deserve.
* The speech therapist is the only professional legally authorized to perform a rehabilitation of your voice.
How is the vocal rehabilitation process
If the vocal rehabilitation process proceeds normally, we follow the next steps:
EvaluationIt consists of an exhaustive anamnesis (collection of relevant and necessary information), a functional-perceptual evaluation, taking phonatory times, an acoustic analysis with a specific program and self-assessment questionnaires by the patient.
TreatmentTreatment: Based on the assessment, a personalized treatment is designed, tailored to the specific needs of the individual.
I also value as a professional the most appropriate and recommendable periodicity in each case.
ControlsWe carry out controls from time to time to objectively evaluate the evolution.
RevisionsOnce the treatment is finished, we carry out occasional check-ups to determine if the progress achieved is maintained over time without our periodic sessions.
HighWhen the reviews are positive and the person maintains recovery and/or improvement, we proceed to discharge.
