Description

The Handbook of Vocal Massage: A Relational Approach is an evidence-informed guide for vocal massage therapists or those wishing to become vocal massage therapists.

It is designed to enhance the practice of vocal massage through a holistically oriented framework. It integrates contemporary anatomical understanding of the voice with relational techniques, focusing on the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and client.

The handbook provides clear theoretical explanations, practical exercises, and illustrative case studies to support voice practitioners, therapists, and singing teachers in addressing functional voice issues and performance-related vocal strain. As well as the philosophy of the work of ‘relational vocal massage’, there is the addition of the KING protocol, as created by one of the authors, Stephen R. King.
