What is the difference between Dr. Farias’ Neuro-Rehabilitation protocol for SD and traditional voice therapy for SD?

In the realm of Spasmodic Dysphonia (SD) (also know as Laryngeal Dystonia) treatment has been traditionally focused on muscle-targeted approaches through conventional voice therapy. However, the results did not achieve the expected outcomes. It’s essential to understand that SD is not solely a muscular issue; It is a neurological condition. SD involves a complex interplay of neurological factors. This is where Dr. Farias’ groundbreaking neuroplasticity-based neuro-rehabilitation for SD comes into play. This innovative approach aims to rehabilitate the underperforming neural networks at the core of this condition, addressing both vocal and non-vocal symptoms comprehensively. Through a series of progressive exercises, this method works to retune neural function and normalise the intricate processes involved in speech production. The results have been nothing short of unprecedented, offering new hope and tangible improvements for those living with SD.
