Abstract

This article presents the authors' philosophy regarding the use of physical manipulation of the larynx and the neck in patients presenting with voice disorders from the context of the anatomy and physiology of the larynx. The biomechanics of the laryngeal structures are reviewed. Potential indications for manipulation are discussed. The examination of the larynx and perilaryngeal structures is presented from a mechanical standpoint. Some basic tenets in laryngeal manipulation, including potential risks and contraindications, are offered.
