Feeling a lump in your throat? Understand and treat the cause
Manual Therapy for Laryngeal Disorders | Treatment for Globus Sensation & Muscle Tension
Globus sensation (Globus pharyngis) – the persistent feeling of a lump or tightness in the throat – affects many people. If standard exams find no organic cause, the problem is often muscular.
One of the key findings: chronic tension of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles, triggered by stress, posture, voice strain, or emotional load.
Common symptoms:
-
The feeling of a lump in the throat (especially when swallowing empty)
-
Pressure or tightness in the larynx area
-
Hoarseness, difficulty clearing the throat or voice failure
-
No organic findings in ENT or swallowing diagnostics
The solution: Laryngeal Osteopathic Therapy
We apply the laryngeal osteopathic therapy developed by Jacob Lieberman – a specialized form of manual therapy targeting tense muscles in the throat and larynx area. Many patients report noticeable improvement after just a few sessions.
This evidence-informed approach includes:
-
Assessment of voice, breathing, posture
-
Posture and muscle tone evaluation
-
Gentle, targeted stretching and manual release techniques
-
Relief of tension in the larynx and hyoid area
-
Individually tailored exercises for self-care
Who can benefit?
This therapy is especially effective for individuals with:
-
persistent globus sensation without organic cause
-
functional voice disorders
-
muscular tension in the neck and throat
-
stress-related laryngeal symptoms
