Stuttering is understood as a speech disorder in which a person suffering from a given ailment pronounces words with hesitations, as a rule, at the first sound. Let's talk about how to get rid of stuttering yourself. This topic is very relevant, since stutters (especially adults) are often simply embarrassed to go to the doctor.
How to get rid of stuttering: the traditional method
The traditional method in the treatment of stuttering is the use of a set of special breathing exercises. Remember that some famous singing people sing freely and naturally, while their usual speech is accompanied by stuttering, stumbling or burr.
Let’s give an example of a couple of exercises that are part of Strelnikova’s Respiratory Gymnastics and which every person suffering from stuttering can easily perform at home. Performing these and other breathing exercises from the complex, you will learn how to get rid of stuttering without going to a doctor for help.
1. "The pump." Standing straight, lower your hands. Lean forward slightly, rounding your back. Hands and head should be lowered, and relax your neck. Inhale quickly and noisily at the end point of the incline, as if you were sniffing the floor. Lift slightly, but do not fully straighten. At this point, exhale with your nose or mouth. Again lean forward, inhale, etc. The exercise is done easily and does not exert pressure on the lumbar. In one approach, repeat the exercise 8 times, then rest for 5 seconds and take another approach. The norm for the exercise "Pump" is 12 of these approaches. However, the load to this figure should be increased gradually.
2. "Turn of the head." Stand straight and place your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your arms to the sides. Turning your head to the left, inhale quickly and noisily. Then turn your head to the right and take another breath. You should exhale in the gap when you turn your head from left to right. In this case, no stop in the middle should be done. During this exercise, the neck should not be strained, and the body and arms should remain motionless. The approach consists of 8 breaths, and the norm that you should come to over time is 32 such approaches.
How to get rid of stuttering: unconventional methods
Alternative medicine suggests using acupressure in order to help a stutter sufferer with his problem. We want to note right away that such a massage is a complicated and time-consuming task, so immediately tune in to the fact that you will have to go through several courses, each of which includes 15 procedures. Then a two-week break is needed.
First of all, you need to find the necessary point. The search is performed using the “poke method”, in the literal sense of the word. Find images of active points on the Internet or in specialized literature on acupuncture. Press the pad of your finger to the intended location. If you feel aches and some pain, then you have found the right point. Next, we begin to massage the point, making circular motions with the index or thumb pad , gradually increasing the pressure force, and then reducing it. Massage of each point should last from 3 to 5 minutes. You should be completely relaxed at this time.
There is another unconventional method of how to get rid of stuttering at home - this is hypnosis. However, we do not recommend using it on your own, because, in the absence of the necessary knowledge, experience and practice, this can be hazardous to health.
How to get rid of stuttering: a modern method
Today, in the age of high technology, specially designed computer programs, in particular the Speech corrector, can help you stutter. The essence of this development is that it synchronizes speech and the auditory centers of a person. Suffering from stuttering heats into the microphone, and the program automatically delays his speech for a split second. So, a stutter, hearing his own voice with a slight delay, seeks to adapt to it. His speech over time becomes continuous and smooth. Thus, speech impairment can be reduced by 75-80%.
