Purpose: This study aims to explore the impact and role of physiotherapy in voice and throat care, from the perspective of people who have accessed such care. Gaining a better understanding of how physiotherapy contributes to care has the potential to improve services.

Transcripts were analyzed with a general inductive approach suitable for qualitative evaluation data. Data were analyzed from six interviews and four main themes emerged, with each theme further characterized by categories. Results: Two themes related to the impact of physiotherapy in voice and throat care: Offers a deeper understanding of issues affecting their voice/throat; facilitates individualized specific management. Two themes related to the role of physiotherapy in voice and throat care: Complements existing services; Valuable service. Each theme is further illustrated by categories. Conclusion: This study indicates that physiotherapy for voice and throat problems can complement existing services while adding value, providing people with a deeper understanding of their problem and facilitating specific management. There is great potential for physiotherapy to benefit voice users. Future research should further evaluate the potential to include physiotherapy in the voice care team and consider how best to capture the broad impacts illustrated. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Unknown language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
