"Great practice"

About: North Manchester General Hospital

I have had two appointments to see the Specialist Speech and Language Therapist in Head and Neck/Voice Speech and Language Therapy Department regarding problems with my throat which was causing me concern. My throat kept feeling hoarse after speaking on the phone or having to speak repeatedly. At our initial session the therapist suggested I practice straw phonation exercises which we tried out together and I immediately noticed a difference as the throat muscles relaxed. After continuing these exercises daily when we met at our second session two weeks later the therapist thought the problem had been resolved and to use the exercises when needed. We jointly agreed for discharge. I was extremely satisfied and delighted with the treatment I received.
