Nikki Martin first met Pierre Bouvier from ’Simple Plan’ in June 2012. He was towards the end of a world tour with his band, promoting their latest album ‘Get Your Heart On’.
Pierre had experienced voice issues before, and had encountered a number of people (from doctors to singing teachers) seeking help for similar voice problems. As a professional Speech Pathologist, I did a combined assessment with myself and the ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) Doctor. Pierre had a very inflamed (angry, red) voice box and had stiff vocal cords and some muscle tension. He also showed signs of acid reflux, which is very common in singers. The Doctor recommended that he cancel their ‘Take 40 Live Lounge’ performance and the next performance in Wollongong as well.
We started an intensive Speech Pathology Program concentrating on getting his voice back to being concert ready. We focused on the following:
1. Anti-Reflux Medication
He started on ant-reflux medication and I went over his diet to eliminate anything that was contributing to his reflux.
2. Vocal Exercise
We went over simple vocal exercises that provided some improvement almost immediately.
3. Remote Therapy
I (Nikki Martin, Speech Pathologist) provided remote support to Pierre while he finished the tour.
If you have any questions about the Speech Pathology program I did with Pierre, reflux management or EMST-150 device or EMST-150 training, please contact Nikki Martin Speech Pathologist.
