Parkinsons disease
  • All clients (>200) with Parkinsons disease were unaware of how much their voice softened and how their facial expression reduced(flat affect).  Video and audio recordings were used to demonstrate the changes. All who received treatment significantly improved.* 
  • Those who participate in maintenance programs are better today then they were prior to treatment years ago.*
  • Caregivers are repeatedly relieved to finally receive an explanation that make sense as to why their family member speaks quietly, why they are appearing to choke or cough when eating, and why some strategies don't work and why some do.*
  • Those who were hospitalized were advised to be placed on Hospice due swallowing issues, weight loss, or generalized weakness following surgery. Family fought to have client receive treatment. Clients voice and swallowing abilities were restored and client was given a much better quality of life for their remaining life of months to years.*
Swallowing disorders / Aspiration pneumonia
  • Clients whose progress was limited by depression and recurrent aspiration pneumonia were told by family physicians death was imminent.  During and following treatment and years later they have not had a reoccurrance of aspiration pneumonia and continue to enjoy foods they enjoy. G-tube was removed.*

Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) / Exercise Induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO)
  • Athletes who were experiencing wheezing, shortness of breath, dizziness during practice and competition were forced to stop competing saw a 90% -100% reduction in their symptoms in as little as as 2-4 sessions.  Treatment does exist beyond rescue breathing techniques that actaully prevent the symptoms from occurring in the first place.*
Voice Disorders
  • Voices that have been hoarse for years s/p radiation treatment from throat cancer, were restored in one session.*
  • Clients with vocal fold weakness post intubation or paralysis had their voices restored in less than 5sessions.*
  • Age related atrophy of the vocal folds that resulted in a softening of the voice and lowering of volume lead to social isolation and depression. A simple explanation of what was happening and why changed their perspective from "people don't want to talk to me" to "people cannot hear me and there is something I can do about it."


* Everybody's situation is different and will require an assessment to make an accurate prognosis for improvement*
