  • Foundation in Manual Therapy: Voice and Swallowing Disorders Flagstaff- April 2025 - Flagstaff

    April 26th - April 27th 2025 , 9:00am- 5:30pm both days

    Walt Fritz is a physical therapist from Upstate New York, USA. Since beginning work as an educator in the physical and massage therapy domains in the mid-1990s, he has more recently applied a unique take on manual therapy for the speech pathology and voice communities. This approach attempts to move the bar from singular tissue-specific models into a multifactorial narrative, leaning heavily on biopsychosocial influences. Using a model of evaluation and intervention that relies more strongly on shared decision-making, the principles can be applied to the spectrum of intervention models. Seeing the utility of manual therapy not as a standalone treatment but as an integral part of clinicians’ more extensive work, Walt makes his approach easily assimilated into those treatment protocols.

    Walt teaches internationally to speech-language pathologists, voice professionals, massage therapists, physiotherapists, and other clinicians through his Foundations in Manual Therapy Seminars, www.WaltFritz.com. Walt is a frequent workshop presenter at the annual Voice Foundations Symposiums and has presented at PAVA conferences, the 3rd World Congress of Fascia, the British Voice Association’s 2021 Voice Clinics Forum, and international online conferences for voice, swallowing, and related issues. His article, “The mechanism of action for laryngeal manual therapies: the need for an update” was published in Current Opinions in Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery
