Vocal Profiling- Reports
Unlocking Pain Relief Through Voice Analysis—No Fancy Equipment Needed!
Many clients hesitate to explore vocal analysis as tool to track health trends. They worry about physical distance or need for expensive microphones. It's understandable—not everyone wants to invest $70-$100 in equipment, learn the recording software, and sign up for a full analysis without knowing if it'll help. I felt the same way back in 2018 when I first heard about using voice prints to address my shoulder pain. I stuck with what I knew: physio, massage, and over-the-counter painkillers.
Fast forward to 2022, I was disabled from work and I was desperate for a solution. I signed up for technician training at Sound Health early 2023, and started investigating the pain which started in my elbow, and was limiting use of my shoulder as well as causing neck pain. To my surprise, I experienced an almost immediate improvement in my shoulder's range of motion and a significant reduction in pain... months after ignoring the infraspinatus muscle, a persistent result that didn't seem relevant before really researching the anatomy. Excited, I wanted to share this with others but found that friends and family were just as skeptical as I once was. I signed up for the practitioner training anyway, and met some other people with similar experiences.
Other practitioners had noticed the same hesitancy and found that using a cell phone could help bypass initial hang ups when introducing the idea. While high-quality recordings are essential for in-depth analysis, vocal prints reveal reliable information even from a cell phone recording when looking into muscle pain.
Now, when potential clients reach out, we jump on a Zoom call and use their phone to record a voice print. Together, we analyze the data, identify "pain spikes," and explore potential frequency imbalances that can be related to muscles in stress. Recently, a friend mentioned arm pain. Of course I was excited to share what I knew, I recorded our conversation, ran a quick report, and sent over some helpful links.
A few weeks later, he told me not only had his arm pain resolved, but he'd also found relief from chronic headaches. By following the stretching exercises and exploring trigger points from the links, his sleep improved too. He even discovered a trigger point pain referral pattern that works faster than Tylenol!
This simple report was made from the usual print out I email curious potential clients after a free online assessment.
It's amazing what we can achieve with tools we already have. Don't let lack of equipment hold you back from exploring new ways to manage pain. Your cell phone might just be the first step to feeling better.
