Jop Mur is a voice osteopath, also known as a vocal osteopath. He studied vocal osteopathy by taking a course with the renowned vocal osteopath Jacob Liberman. He sees many singers in his practice.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font_size=”25px” header_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Your voice is a unique and sensitive instrument. Talking, singing or presenting seems to come naturally \u2013 until it becomes less smooth. When it comes to voice problems, people often only think of the vocal cords, but osteopathy looks further. Muscles, nerves and structures around the larynx, diaphragm and even the skull can affect how your voice sounds and feels. When the balance is disrupted somewhere, this can lead to hoarseness, fatigue when speaking or breathing difficulties while talking.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font_size=”25px” header_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

During treatment, the osteopath examines where tension or restricted movement is present. This may be directly in the neck, jaw or shoulders, but also in areas that have an indirect influence, such as the chest, pelvis or abdominal organs. By gently releasing these tensions, the body is helped to repair itself and the voice regains its freedom. For many people \u2013 from singers and speakers to those with long-term hoarseness \u2013 osteopathy can provide relief and restore natural voice use.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font_size=”25px” header_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The aim of the treatment is not only to reduce the symptoms, but also to look at the underlying causes. By bringing the body into balance, the voice can sound powerful and free again, without strain. Together, we determine what your voice needs to function smoothly, clearly and without tension.<\/p>\n

In addition to direct treatment, osteopathy can also help prevent future voice problems. By regularly paying attention to breathing, posture and tension in the body, the voice remains resilient and healthy. This is especially valuable for people who use their voice intensively, such as singers, teachers or presenters.<\/p>\n
