Speak Steady is designed to be a gentle, supportive voice and breathing program for people living with Parkinson’s. All exercises are intended to be performed within a comfortable, effort-free range, without strain or force.

Please keep the following in mind:

• Work at your own pace and rest as needed
• Discontinue any exercise that causes discomfort, dizziness, or strain
• Voice exercises should feel supported and steady, not pushed or forced
• Breathing practices are gentle and should never feel breath-holding or stressful

Care partners are encouraged to participate as supportive observers when helpful.

This program is educational in nature and is not a substitute for individualized medical care or physician prescribed services. If you have questions about whether a particular exercise is appropriate for you, or if you notice any discomfort, please modify to where you are comfortable.
