Areas where our expertise is sought include physical health education, rehearsal and show recovery, sustainable choreography, stagecraft, stage safety and character movement development. At Performance Medicine we are the Australian pioneers in the treatment and development of vocal unloading (or vocal physiotherapy) and work with the professional performance voice and pathological voice problems. We work closely with ENT specialists, speech pathologists and vocal coaches to alleviate and rehabilitate vocal problems. Not just for performers!
