Influence of traction therapy of the cervical spine on the distribution of harmonics in the voice as well as the intensity and length of phonation

Background: Contemporary physiotherapeutic techniques and methods could be useful in changing the approach to teaching correct phonation in people with different vocal experience. A physiotherapist can use stimulating techniques, improving the lower rib breathing in a vocalist, using thoracic expansion techniques, diaphragm decompression or manual massage, as well as spinal and rib mobilization. Moreover, many modalities for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) therapy can be useful for working with vocalists.
