April Presenter: Tara Stadelman-Cohen

Singers place exceptional demands on the subsystems of voice, similar to athletes who place extraordinary demands on their bodies. Vocal athletes benefit from adhering to physical and vocal health strategies, efficient training, and maintaining peak performance. Different modalities are routinely used to produce a specific physiological response within the body for maximizing performance or as therapeutic agents to rehabilitate an injury for enhanced recovery. Massage and stretching, for example, are two of these basic modalities. Kinesio tape, a flexible adhesive material, has been used across rehabilitative, sports, and fitness settings to improve biomechanical function. This talk will review current practices for using Kinesio taping in voice rehabilitation and its potential for application to the performing voice.
